BOSTON - Jack Teixeira, a member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, has been identified as the suspect who allegedly leaked classified U.S. intelligence documents online, according to CBS News.
Teixeira is an Airman 1st Class in the Guard's 102nd Intelligence Wing, according to the organization's Facebook page. He was first identified Thursday by the New York Times as the "leader of a small online gaming chat group" named "Thug Shaker Central," that's allegedly responsible for leaking the documents.
According to Associated Press sources, the FBI wants to question him in the leak of the highly classified military documents on the war in Ukraine.

Of course it's an online gamer; and, it fits the woke left's narrative that gamers share a ".. love of guns, racist online memes and video games."

If he's a friend of Biden, expect to see him on every network news show. If he's a conservative, he's heading for Gitmo...

National Guardsman with this breadth of info? Even if he’s just a “clearing house” for info from his “gaming” buddies, I smell a grassy knoll rat, Mr Oswald.
Watch your back, Jack.

Media people already camped out at his house...knocked on the door wanted to talk, his mother said..."Uhm... we are waiting for the Feds, I'm sure they are on the way". HOURS ago...still No FBI/SWAT. I guess they are alll too busy raiding Trump Lawyers, Trump homes, and congressmans homes, tracking down cellphones that "Might have" some record of "Not accepting" election reporting. Because THAT is the "Biggest Threat" America and the Free World faces today.

If he refers to himself as "she", he has a get-home-free card.

From the short Times report...
A half dozen FBI agents "pushed onto the property.." of the 21 year old this morning. Later, described as a dozen uniformed officers, mostly in tactical gear, and an armored vehicle are on the property.
The gamer group is typical - teenagers.
From the cautious language of the report, it's not at all clear that the gamer is the original source of the documents, but could be. And, the purpose of the leak was not whistleblowing. It was information to satisfy gamer curiousity over the war in the Ukraine. The teens then shared it. Kids!

If he’s assigned to the MA ANG 102s Intel Wing, it’s no stretch of the imagination that Teixeira would have access to the data leaked.

The longish New York Times article is behind their paywall. I was able to access it with Reader. How he accessed this material is still unknown, but it was supposedly posted to this group as current events info. One of the group reposted it and it was picked up by a Russian site. Bingo.

Re #13, it appears that no one knew this stuff was “leaked” until it was reported to be on a Russian site. The trail led backward from there.
