‘The Five’ co-hosts discuss the arrest of Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira and the alleged role he played in leaking classified documents.

Biden: I'm not concerned about the leak because I've done worse. (paraphrased, slightly)

None of this passes the smell test. They want more internet censorship, obviously, and all I am seeing is a government that is inept. They expect the general public to believe this low-ranking person, all by himself, leaked these documents.

Perhaps he should have leaked the Supreme Court's ruling on abortion since that was never found. :rolleyes:

I believe I heard yesterday was - the nature of the content leaked is not so egregious that the U.S. will suffer that much.

How Did Jack Teixeira Gain Access to the Documents He Leaked, and Why Were MSM Stories About Him Stealth-Edited?



Who was telling Reuters that Russia was behind the leak? Why?

The changing stories, with no acknowledgment of or explanation for the changes, are likely part of an effort to distract from the elephant in the room. When reporters repeatedly confronted the Pentagon spokesperson with questions about how a 21-year-old, low-level enlisted airman had access to the scope of information that he apparently had access to, and how he could get more than 100 documents out of a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility), he answered by saying that they’re examining information distribution lists and that they had the rules in place and Teixeira broke the rules, so they shouldn’t be held responsible. That’s unacceptable.


As Marc Thiessen said, “the incompetence is stunning.”

“The idea that a 21-year-old kid can expose sources and methods of how we spy, how we have penetrated the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, because apparently we’ve exposed the fact we know they have a new hypersonic missile that can reach the United States, that they exposed our penetration of the Russian Defense Ministry, that could affect the war in Ukraine. I mean, the incompetence is stunning.”

Will the govt correct their error of allowing people complete access. They don't block Tik Tok from being accessed.

FBI Arrests Air National Guard Member Linked to Pentagon Leak

Defense And Security, FBI, Department Of Justice, Pentagon, National Guard, Merrick Garland, Classified Documents, Leaks

AllSides Summary​

Federal agents arrested 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guard member, in connection with the leak of classified Pentagon materials pertaining to the Ukraine war and foreign intelligence operations.
Key Quote: Speaking to the media, Attorney General Merrick Garland said, “FBI agents took Teixeira into custody earlier this afternoon without incident. He will have an initial appearance at the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.” Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder stated, “We have rules in place. Each of us signs a nondisclosure agreement. This is a criminal act, a willful violation of those.” Earlier Thursday, President Biden told reporters that federal officials were “getting close” to locating the source of the leak.
For Context: Last week, the New York Times reported on a batch of leaked classified documents that had been circulating online for weeks. The documents contained information on Ukrainian forces’ continued military ability and arms and ammunition supplies, as well as information on U.S. surveillance conducted on allied countries such as Israel and South Korea. The documents were reportedly first shared in a private server on the chat platform Discord before appearing on other websites. On Wednesday, the Washington Post (Lean Left Bias) published a report interviewing a member of the private Discord server who is friends with the leaker.
How The Media Covered It: The arrest is the top story on outlets across the spectrum as more details come to light regarding the identity and motivations of the leaker.

From the video you'd have thought he was Bin Laden. :lmao:

They just love to break out all the TactiCool Gear and Play Warrior.

exactly and now the entire world has seen the big fat dog and pony show.

They want us to believe they don't know who the J6 pipe bomber is or who leaked the decision to the press on abortion but alas, this person was found pronto. :rolleyes:

I doubt this was the "biggest intelligence leak" this week. It's just the one they want you to focus on. Nevermind the Chinese backdooring Boeing and Lockheed and having detailed engineering drawings, ICD's, and mission system source code for all of out major platforms.

No, the BIG LEAK is info that we might spy on our allies. Which literally everyone has known since the beginning of time.

You have to bear the brunt of your beliefs, and you don’t because you can afford an EV Bentley. You’re telling our audience to suck on it!”

Geraldo then again tried to put Gutfeld on the defensive, asking him what kind of car he drives, to which Gutfeld responded by saying, “A $45,000 car, yes. Yeah, I know. It’s no Bentley. I’m sorry, Geraldo.”
