It's OVER 5,000!
He was told repeatedly about the penalties for sharing top secret information. Now if he had looked at that, looked at what was going on, and decided the punishment was worth exposing the information and blasting it everywhere, then I could respect him for it.
Knowing all of that and sharing it with a group of gamers on Discord for status points? I can't get even a little bit behind that. It is frightening that someone so dumb or immature passed the security screening though.

I just can't with thus. The people who called everyone who went through the appropriate channels to be a whistle-blower were traitors under Trump but a guy who uploads classified **** to discord is a hero. We are 2 steps away from MAGA complaining that Biden is orange.

Expects Yuge Games
The Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified documents to a small group of gamers had been posting sensitive information months earlier than previously known and to a much larger chat group, according to online postings reviewed by The New York Times.
In February 2022, soon after the invasion of Ukraine, a user profile matching that of Airman Jack Teixeira began posting secret intelligence on the Russian war effort on a previously undisclosed chat group on Discord, a social media platform popular among gamers. The chat group contained about 600 members.
How Airman Teixeira obtained the documents that he is accused of posting online has been a key question for investigators. They believe he used administrator privileges connected to his information technology job to access documents. In his posts, Airman Teixeira said his job gave him access to material that others could not see. “The job I have lets me get privilege’s above most intel guys,” he wrote.
Airman Teixeira also claimed that he was actively combing classified computer networks for material on the Ukraine war. When one of the Discord users urged him not to abuse his access to classified intelligence, Teixeira replied: “too late.”

Expects Yuge Games
Jack Teixeira, the Air National Guard member charged with leaking classified government secrets in an online group of gamers and gun enthusiasts, was indicted Thursday on additional charges that offer some more detail about what types of information he allegedly mishandled.
The indictment charges Teixeira with six counts of illegal retention and transmission of national defense information, crimes which could send him to prison for years if he is convicted.
Teixeira has been held in jail since his April arrest. FBI agents traced photos posted online of classified documents back to Teixeira, a 21-year-old from North Dighton, Mass. Authorities say he worked as an IT professional at a military base in Massachusetts’s Cape Cod, and abused his top secret clearance — illegally sharing U.S. intelligence assessments and other sensitive information with others on Discord, a social media platform popular with video game players.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a written statement that Teixeira “was entrusted by the United States government with access to classified national defense information — including information that reasonably could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to national security if shared.”
