3 recently arrested MARINES Joshua Abate, Micah Coomer, Dodge Hellonen were all given sensitive assignments AFTER they participated in the Jan 6 insurrection! Last summer, the Republicans blocked efforts by the Pentagon to identify and crack down on RW extremists. Abate and Hellonen also received promotions in rank following the Capitol riot, according to the Corps. “At the time of the insurrection, the three men were friends and were all assigned to the Marine Corps Information Operations Center at Quantico, Virginia, about 30 miles south of Washington. The center is involved in psychological warfare training and development for the Marines, among other functions.” https://theintercept.com/2023/02/06/january-6-marines-nsa/
Abate was assigned to the Marine Cryptologic Support Battalion, which partners with and is headquartered at the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland, according to military records first obtained by Military.com. The headquarters is one of the most sensitive US government facilities in the country. All 3 are likely Boogaloo... a quasi militia group aiming to foment a second Civil War. https://www.isdglobal.org/explainers/boogaloo-movement/
Or how about here:

The Massachusetts Air National Guard, Jack Teixeira, has pleaded guilty to leaking highly classified military documents about Russia's war in Ukraine and other national security secrets.
The signed agreement states he will serve 16 years in prison, (out of the possible 60 years... which means he will be 38 when released), will be subject to 36 months of supervised release and have to pay a $50,000 fine. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/jack-teixeira-guilty-plea-military-leak-b2506724.html
UPDATE 15
I am glad I went to see what was happening in the case of Jack Teixeira . It is the same thing that is delaying the tRUMP classified materials case in Florida...
Classified evidence keeps pushing accused military secrets leaker Jack Teixeira court hearings
https://www.bostonherald.com/2024/01/23/classified-evidence-keeps-pushing-accused-military-secrets-leaker-jack-teixeira-court-hearings/
UPDATE 14
This is one of the war game sites where classified info was being released. 'These adults' sound like the PeePee frog trolls, memelords and jackasses from 8Chan/8Kun who brags about being in government affiliated positions ... and sadly could be. They all sounded like arrogant teens, and yet are mostly adults FFS. Please also read the important info at the bottom of this post.*

UPDATE #13
https://youtu.be/v-0Mc8QgmyY
Jun 15, 2023. A federal grand jury indicted Pentagon leak suspect Jack Teixeira on six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information. Good thing he didn't have access to the nuclear codes and every Tom, Dictator and Harry...
WTAF?!?!?! After reviewing court documents from the trial, there was a THIRD memo from February saying Teixeira was once again observed viewing information "that was not related to his primary duty and was related to the intelligence field."
During that time, even as he was being scrutinized and hand slapped... he was able to disseminate thousands of classified documents and move his group to a more private area in Discord. And yet, he retained his security clearance. Holy f'ing hell. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/05/jack-teixeira-leak-national-secrets/674236/
Pentagon police step up security and searches after Jack Teixeira's arrest in leaked documents case
May 26, 2923. In "It's about freaking time" news, the pentagon has enhanced its shitty screening for classified documents by adding more hands on searches. (Random of course. They would not want to deter the most clever of the thieves) And get this... the searches have been stepped up in all US military bases... except ...are you ready?
Jack Teixeira to remain jailed as he awaits trial
May 19, 2023 Even though Judge David Hennessy cited the multiple crimes, his risk to the security of the nation and evidence that Teixeira has violent tendencies, he still said it was a close call to send him home to his parent's recognizance. W T A F?
https://www.telegram.com/story/news/2023/05/19/guardsman-jack-teixeira-pentagon-leak-suspect-to-remain-jailed-as-he-awaits-trial/70236687007/
UPDATE #12
Teixeira is a good boy peacefully reading his bible when arrested....says his lawyer, disregarding his threats in highschool that his classmates reported, his later threat to kill as many people as possible and the arsenal of weapons in 2 homes. See updates 9&10 for more on that. The lawyer also continues to call the 21 year old "The Kid " and is outright lying, "authorities have tried to make a young man who still lives with his parents in the community where he grew up sound more dangerous than he is."
His next hearing will have the judge decide if he is a danger to others or too much of a security threat to release... or should go home with daddy to await trial. Also, as shown in the text pic below, Teixeira was caught taking notes and being in sites that had nothing to do with his job and was "instructed to stop." TWICE. WTAF? Wapo has more ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/05/17/leak-suspect-jack-teixeira/
I had a job that was not with the Canadian Government, but still required a top security clearance. I had to release all of my immediate family and friends names, release all of my bank records access, and complete a lot of forms and sign that any breach of the protocols, including doing anything illegal, meant I would be terminated immediately, no questions asked.
This creep was caught taking notes in a top secret facility, knowingly accessing and copying top secret documents and he is told to stop TWICE and remained in his IT job with pay? And now he may be released on bond to his father's personal reconnaissance... the father who helped him get a job at the same intelligence facility where he himself worked until a recent retirement. .. the father who neglected to notice his son's weapons arsenal and that he was not only taking notes but when disallowed, began taking hundreds and hundreds of physical documents as well and pasting them online? Holy hell America. You are failing on so many levels.
Update 11
This video of the creepy, racist MAGA dweeb is now available. (URL below) How proud his military daddy who helped get his kid the job at his AF Intelligence base must be.
Some of his bigoted rhetoric:
“Jews scam, n----rs rape, and I mag dump.”
“Any sand n----r like that we will watch them[.]”
Unsurprisingly, he was a fan of Kyle Rittenhouse.
He did not just share secret documents; he shared video as well.
Teixeira’s friend, "who knew him after he had graduated high school, said he had confessed to wanting to take a gun to school and carry out a shooting."
Other friends confirmed Teixeira talked about attacking his school, but they said they didn’t take his threats seriously.
Teixeira is still an airman first class as he awaits trial.
The military is investigating whether they will also press charges. (WTAF)
Abinavski’s Exclusion Zone was the Discord server with 627 members where Teixeira began dumping documents shortly after Russian began the War with Ukraine.
"When Teixeira was waiting on approval of his security clearance, he told his friend that he was particularly concerned that “jokes” he had made in the server might.surface about “shooting up buildings” and “wanting to kill government agents.”
Gee, I wonder why the FBI showed up in military vehicles? This is the POS whom Tuberville called a loyal American and EmT Greene called a white christian antiwar patriot. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/05/13/jack-teixeira-discord-leaked-documents/
Henry Adams,18, lives with his family about an hour’s drive from Dighton. Adams and Teixeira visited a shooting range in Raynham, Mass. "accompanied by Adams’s mother, Lisa, his father, Richard, or Teixeira’s biological father, Jack Michael Teixeira." The republican response to this real life espionage fiasco is summed up in a question from Lisa Adams:
✝️“When did serving your country and being ✝️
👼 a Christian become a bad thing? 👿
(Added emojis are mine)
Update 10:
This update is an addendum to Update 9 in the comments below. Update 9 should be read first.
The "how the hell did this kid get access to top secret documents" question has been answered. Teixeira needed the clearance for his job; nepotism, because his dad worked at the same base (now retired) so his son was either fast tracked or not vetted properly; hubris and neglect being he used a work computer to access secrets and do searches (more below); and the revelation that tRUMP's changes to vetting to allow his son in law Kushner to get clearance has led to this. Fast tracking became more important than vetting!!
https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/1886923/dod-to-take-over-background-checks-by-fiscal-2020/
Teixeira faces Espionage Act charges of "unauthorized retention and transmission of classified national defense information." He is 21 and therefore an adult. His lawyer used the term kid 18 times
Teixeira's lawyer insist the private chatroom that he was presently hosting and revealing document into meant he was not widely distributing them and they were private. However, it was previously revealed that Teixeira began transmitting secret documents online in public foirumsshortly after Russia started the war in Ukraine.
Unauthorized use of Government computers
Besides accessing, copying and distributing top secret Government, Norad and other allied info documents, Teixeira was able to use it for other nefarious purposes.
Teixeira used his government computer to look up mass shootings and government standoffs, including “Ruby Ridge,” “Las Vegas shooting,” “Mandalay Bay shooting,” “Uvalde” and “Buffalo tops shooting."
Discord also previously gave information to the FBI that showed Teixeira used his government computer to search for the word “leak” on the same day as news media broke that classified documents had been disseminated online. (What he did was brash and bold ego building and fake patriotism that cannot be compared to a whistleblower leak) His payments history to Discord was then linked back to him.
After reading all of this, Jack Teixeira sounds more like an incel domestic terrorist, mass murderer or school shooter than a fully vetted military personal. The 'religion and guns' aspect of this family is disconcerting, especially when it concerns broken oaths, stockpiling guns in the family home, antisemitism and bigotry and an airforce base that was entrusted wit the nations secrets that did not deserve that trust. (before that privilege was removed) Teixeira carried a black rosary into the courtroom and then wore it on his way out... which means the family fully intends to have the judge and jury see him as a religious victim ... as well as a child of 21.
I recommend reading about such things in these stories:
https://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/
I cannot believe the judge might release him to his father's recognizance.

Update 9:
Jack Teixeira had his second hearing Yesterday.
The government submitted a report outlining the reasons for detaining Teixeira. Number one is danger to the public. There is more on that below. In this case there is also the chance of fleeing. A 21 year old facing 25 years minimum has much to lose. He is also a national security risk as he has already shown he is an immoral and dishonorable liar who is willing to give US secrets away and countries will be happy to have him. He has also shown he is willing to obstruct justice by destroying evidence and asking his online "friends to do the same and not cooperate.
That alone should be reason enough for detainment, but do read on...
After searching a dumpster near his home, FBI agents found a military-style helmet with a mounting bracket for a camera, a GoPro camera, a tablet, a laptop and gaming console all smashed. They also found a box for a new phone. He insisted his old phone “had flown out of his truck window and was run over by a semi-truck.”
After searching 2 residents the FBI found in his parent's home, in his bedroom: A gun locker near his bed with handguns, bolt-action rifles, an AK rifle, a gas mask, ammunition and tactical pouches, a silencer. In a second residence they found an arsenal of weapons, including a BAZOOKA! You hear that MT Greene. Your antiwar innocent white boy needed a bazooka...
FBI photo of Teixeira's bedroom in his parent's home.
Hear are some of the remarks that Teixeira made online:
After reading all that, I am sure you will be as surprised as I to learn that Judge Judge David H. Hennessy declined to make a ruling to detain Teixeira, and is leaning to have his parents be his guardians while he is on home confinement. I was shaking after reading that. (Which is why I am only updating this today)
Teixeira's lawyer insisted in court that he is not a flight risk. Why? Because "Despite being aware from media reports that the feds were bearing down, he returned to his home and sat reading a Bible as he waited to be captured."
The government report is here and you might want to peruse it because I missed some things as the whole original post disappeared as I was typing ...and I was not as thorough the second time round: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.255930/gov.uscourts.mad.255930.19.0_2.pdf

Update 8:
A hearing that will decide whether Jack Teixeira will await his trial while incarcerated, was postponed to give his defense team more time to prepare. His detention hearing is now scheduled for April 27. https://www.masslive.com/politics/2023/04/jack-teixeira-accused-of-leaking-classified-docs-to-appear-in-worcester-courtroom-next-week.html
FBI agent says Jack Teixeira could have more classified documents at North Dighton residences
Investigators are carrying out a search warrant on 2 more homes.
It is time to quit speaking about this young man as though he were a child. Jack Teixeira is not a kid. He is an adult who deserves more than 15 years for what he has done; the cost of unknown number of lives both in the past and in future, the untold cost of losing the confidence of allies, the cost of changing vetting and security clearance protocols, equipment and training, the cost of finding a new base for the intelligence mission, and if only 15 years the cost of a lack of meaningful deterrent.

PS: The question in update 6 is answered and it is not a good one... not good at all... but no worries. It is all "under review."
Shoot. I had a busy week and forgot to update with this very interesting (and, frankly, scary for national security in US AND elsewhere) bit of info:
The DOJ is currently looking at a former NavChief Petty Officer with top security clearance who disseminated the leaked documents and sounds as though she is also a Russian spy who 'slid into" teixeira's DMs... (see Update 7) Her online persona as a Russian blogger was a prominent voice in podcasts supporting Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Feds Investigating Former Sailor Behind Pro-Russian ‘Donbass Devushka’ Accounts
https://news.usni.org/2023/04/17/feds-investigating-former-sailor-behind-pro-russian-donbass-devushka-accounts

Perhaps I would have been reminded about this update days ago had the spy been arrested... (I check the DOJ arrest list almost daily for Jan 6 updates and arrests) And now as I search for more info... holy shit... Michael Flynn and family need to be investigated.
Those are pictures of tweets , which I am going to TRY to do from now on, rather than give clicks to Muskmelon and Twatter... Here is where I found them. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/4/16/2164275/-Here-on-Whidbey-Island-we-have-our-own-Leaker-of-Secrets-Sarah-Blis-AKA-Donbass-Devushka
Update 7:
Previously, it was obvious that many people knew exactly who was leaking the documents well before Jack Teixeira started his private group. Some discord users had mentioned that they knew it was “jackthedripper” and now it has been disclosed that he was leaking them almost a year earlier in a larger Discord chatroom. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/21/us/politics/jack-teixeira-leaks-russia-ukraine.html
The base has lost its Intelligence mission. It sounds as though it should lose a lot more than that... like leadership who somehow let this happen. When he was arrested, WaPo said they had seen in the order of 500 documents. Now that it is known it occurred since only days after the Russia/Ukraine war began and those documents were erased, how many were out there? https://www.masslive.com/politics/2023/04/air-force-to-review-joint-base-cape-cod-where-airman-leaked-documents.html
The creepy young man not only offered to share his data in DMs to foreign entities, he claimed he had access to foreign intelligence and NSA data and more.
Perhaps nepotism being the reason to give a teen of 17 a job right out of high school was a really bad idea. I think I met him as a teen on the now defunct G+. (I am kidding, but honestly, the 4Chan frog trolls and gamer trolls all sound alike)
After reading the article, it is obvious that the intelligence community is remiss, that the security measures are woefully substandard and that this troll has killed people.
For some reason this reminds me that tRUMP was allowed to run for office and become commander in chief of the military, his son in law and daughter were given top clearance with a wave of tRUMP's hand because they could not pass the scrutiny, and that many of tRUMP's intelligence people are likely still there.
Also, here is a reminder that the pentagon was complicit in January 6th. (And who knows what else) https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/forum/general-discussion/jan-6-coverup-expands-into-pentagon
This is not the first gameroom leak. "As recently as January 2023, someone on a forum for fans of the video game War Thunder reportedly published confidential information on an F-16 fighter jet. That followed reports of at least three other occasions since 2021 when War Thunder fans posted documents on British, French and Chinese tanks.

A Question I cannot find the answer to: Why is someone who has been on active duty in the military for 4 years not being charged in the military courts under *UCMJ? Please, add a reply if you found the answer.
*https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/the-uniform-code-of-military-justice-ucmj.html
The answer given is that Teixeira was given top security so that he COULD gain access to any of the computers and their info in order to do his job. That sounds pretty feeble being even some of the most ordinary company's computers with sensitive info would assure that anyone logged in had to sign into that time period to access to provide IT, Networking and security... and the ability to have that work assignment would have been given by the boss of it all... a network administrator. If the Base had no such thing [The 102nd Intelligence Wing runs an around-the-clock operation that distills intelligence for senior military leaders, a defense official told CNN.] and allowed this [18 year old at the time] unfettered access, heads should be rolling soon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/16/classified-documents-leaked-security-clearance/
In a sworn statement, an FBI agent said that Teixeira had held a top secret security clearance since 2021, and that he also maintained sensitive compartmented access to other highly classified programs. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/us-suspect-leaks-court-appearance-1.6810371
Why did 21-year-old have a top-secret security clearance? WaPo answers:
Artist rendering of Jack Teixeira in court, April 14th, 2024. He was in shackles.
Reuters has detailed more about Teixeira than the overview in UPDATE 5:
Teixeira had actually begun posting classified info in December 2022, hence people from previous chatrooms he was in speculating OG was also “jackthedripper.”
His stepfather and stepbrother served with the Air National Guard in Massachusetts, and had both worked at the same base as Teixeira .
His stepfather, Thomas Dufault, who served for 34 years, retired in 2019, He was also in the 102nd Intelligence Wing is responsible for providing intelligence support to many units of the military.
2019 is also the year that Teixeira began to work in that same unit of the 102nd Intelligence Wing.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/jack-teixeira-who-is-man-arrested-over-leaked-pentagon-documents-2023-04-14/
His status may have have also allowed him to work from home... hence catching him by using his parent's kitchen counter top when he used his phone to copy a top secret document laying on it. Had he copied it from work, it would have left a date signature print and the copier used on the paper.
The leaks were in Discord chatrooms. Here is a statement from April 12, before the arrest.
His classmates were wary if him and remarked:
*This is from the Daily Mail, so not a great source, evidenced by their using POS MAGAT Kash Patel, who should never have been near the word "inteligence" let alone any administration, as a conspiratorial source for clicks. I had to laugh as they did not use his first name... nor did they identify him in the picture they added. Patel ludicrously insists this punk's leak was like Wikileaks and Snowden... inspired by wanting to "help" rather than what it was... a boastful pathetic moron looking for minions to elevate his ego. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11976879/Pentagon-leak-suspect-Jack-Teixeira-left-note-preempting-act-expert-says-didnt-act-alone.html?ico=related-replace
Update 5:
'Uncle and father figure' Top Secret document leaker suspect, Jack Teixeira, 21, has been arrested. He is a Massachusetts Air Force National Guard employee who led a group of around 25 boys and young men gamers in a complicit game of real life espionage.
'His rank is Airman 1st Class, according to his military service record, a low rank. His job title is Cyber Transport Systems Journeymen, tasked with making sure the service’s "vast, global communications network" is operating correctly. a job that requires repairing communication systems, according to the Air Force website.' IOW, he should not have had top clearance in the first place.
He joined right after High School
"Teixeira was the leader of the group and went by the handle “jackthedripper,” The teens bonded during the pandemic over guns, god and video games... and racist nasty memes. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/13/jack-teixeira-pentagon-leaks-documents-military/11658107002/
300+ top secret documents
VS 1 document which exposed the tRUMP Russian connection.
He truly FAFO... as the Pentagon and the DOJ made it sound as though he will be charged under the Espionage Act. (Having done this online is malicious)
His troll buddies from RW tRUMPie, gamer, Reddit, 4chan and sites of their ilk are out in droves!

“Thug Shaker Central,” was the group formed by "OG."
“We depended on each other.” the teen said, and OG 'counseled him' when depressed.
The story has videos of an underage gamer POS that that OG "helped." Like an uncle or father AND best friend. Was their motto 'Hitler did nothing wrong by chance?' (Like the 4Chan/8Kun racists)
They all cried when "uncle" said something had happened...
OG is likely trying to flee the country as he knows he will be facing lots of jail time... but hey, he managed to impress a bunch of pimple faced teens!
Facing the consequences for your actions seems to be foreign to the MAGA crowd and their groomed kids.
