Yikes, watching people working hard to spin Jack Teixeira as a heroic, young, patriotic, brave whistleblower is something else.

This went on for months. The first documents were posted online in December 2022.

The first leaks were documents he'd written out and typed by hand. The latter ones were scans of the actual documents.

"the individual using the Subject
Username explained that he had become concerned that he may be discovered making the
transcriptions of text in the workplace, so he began taking the documents to his residence and photographing them."

He was using his security clearance to monitor the investigation into his crimes.

"Accordingly, there is reason to believe that TEIXEIRA was searching for classified reporting regarding the U.S. Intelligence Community’s assessment of the identity of the individual who
transmitted classified national defense information, to include the Government Document. "

Washington Post keeps pushing the "patriotic" crap. At least they finally changed the headline.

Why the hell is this buried way down in the article? At this point, the article had dropped the "patriot" word to describe him four times.

Had I posted this thread on Twitter, I'd have been hammered by Pro-Russia trolls hailing this guy as a hero.

@jjmacnab he was the"leader" of an online group. I look forward to more arrests.

Then again, a bunch of the group members were teenagers, so...more likely that they end up providing the testimony against this guy. (and, ideally, some come out of the cult as a result).
