So the person who leaked US intelligence was a young white conservative gun-enthusiast and male.

A member of his Discord server described him this way: "He's fit. He's strong. He's armed. He's trained. Just about everything you can expect out of some sort of crazy movie”

Guns. God. Putin.

He and others like him get to handle our nations secrets. Think about that

It’s time to call conservatives what they are: domestic terrorists.

Big U.S. intelligence leak was by gun enthusiast in 20s, Washington Post reports

The person who leaked U.S. classified documents prompting a national security investigation is a gun enthusiast in his 20s who worked on a military base, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing fellow members of an online chat group.

Nah, not a crazy movie - that's how any 13yr old would describe someone who just graduated bootcamp.

Long story short - incel with guns and security clearance leaked classified docs to impress teens.

@flexghost It was pretty clear from the start that this would be the profile. Having seen it first hand, there is a lottttt of these insider threats because the feds aren't actually looking at white supremacist/nationalist groups when vetting for clearances.

I'm kinda wondering how someone this young not only gets this sort of clearance but such unsupervised access to it. Lordy, my early days Secret had more oversight. Hell, make that my Confidential.

I'm not so much questioning his ability to get the clearance as much as I am a seriously junior, enlisted National Guardsman's need to know (a preq to access) in conjunction with being unsupervised.

@MKSinSA @jwstark @flexghost I did briefings for a general in the run up to deployment in the first gulf war, it was often only me in the room, with no one else and reports that would blow your mind.
Show threadGorbaApr 13, 2023
@MKSinSA @jwstark @flexghost So, there is the possibility he was doing similar briefings for possible air guard deployments at various hot spots which would give a low ranking analyst access with little supervision

@Gorba @jwstark @flexghost

I can see our experiences differ, which is cool. In my Army world, we daily had to log out and back in each and every classified document with the custodian (O3 or E7 up) inside the OC. That's the reason for my shock, I'd presumed it was universal SOP.

Show threadGorbaApr 13, 2023
@MKSinSA @jwstark @flexghost Reserves can be different during the first gulf war they looked for volunteers to man the EOC with the one guy who was a civilian who ran it, to build briefings for the 88th ARCOM staff. All the reports came directly in. There was no signing anything thing in, just access to the equipment.

@Gorba @MKSinSA @flexghost I doubt the dude had NTK and it was just lax control from a higher up. Even with clearance there's no way he was authorized for this level of info.

There's no reason that should disqualify someone from holding clearance.

The leaker should be in prison for life, without possibility of parole.

If this leak gets a single asset or their family killed, then he should face the death penalty.
