We’re being held hostage by emotional terrorists, turned literal terrorists.
According to a report at Fox News, a young IT professional working at the Defense Intelligence Agency who held a top secret clearance, was recently nabbed by law enforcement after he allegedly offered to sell classified secrets to foreign actors because he doesn’t like Donald Trump.
Nathan Laatsch, a 28-year-old IT specialist employed by the Defense Intelligence Agency since 2019, was arrested after the FBI received a tip in March 2025 that someone was willing to provide classified information to a friendly foreign government.

An email to the FBI said that the person – later identified as Laatsch – didn’t ‘agree or align with the values’ of the Trump administration, and would be willing to share classified information that he could access, including ‘completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.’
And get this: the department that Laatsch worked in at the DIA? The “Insider Threat Division.” That irony is wild.
Anyway, per the article, Laatsch “communicated with an FBI agent, who he believed to be a foreign government official” and on multiple occasions, vocalized his readiness to share the sensitive information that he “transcribed onto a notepad at his desk” over the course of several days. Laatsch was supposed to leave the stolen classified information at a local park, and “was observed by the FBI … depositing an item at the specified location.” After he left, the FBI agents reportedly secured a thumb-drive which was just a “sample” of what he could apparently get.

The left hates the USA and are trying to subvert it both overtly and covertly. Hillary and Biden (Probably 0bama too) did the same thing, but the FIB would not charge them.
Hang him.
Maybe after sitting in a prison cell for a few years he’ll understand he threw his life away for nothing. Democrat filth pushing the young into stupid choice carries part of the blame here.
Quite a few, imho. But delusional whack jobs have no interest in reality.
I think part of the reason 'the base' approved of Biden and Obama is they vicariously enjoyed the harm being inflicted on innocent people.
Wonder when a judge will dismiss the case and force the government to give him his job back
If he would only provide the secrets without taking payment. He might be a “true believer”. Since he wanted a payoff, he may be someone who uses Trump as an excuse to sell out his country for money.
A version of Coulter’s Law is in effect here...
The more time that passes between the crime and the disclosure of which country he was trying to spy for....the greater the likelihood it was one particular Middle Eastern country that it has become illegal to criticize.
They should sentence him to death for treason... Trump should stop by just before his confessor sends him to his maker, so he can “twist and shout like the demented demon he is”.
Doesn’t anyone working for the feds have a regular name?
This is what you get with DEI.
he should and will be tried and, if found guilty, punished
but.. just saying... that meanwhile, we have some (mostly Demo..) CongressCritters supporting and encouraging enemies of America and the west
apparently, sedition or treason are “privileges” of the Ruling Elite
if this guy was spying, punish him for sure....but let’s also get after the large problem we have in Congress too
El Salvador IT guy now?
Go to prison for espionage.
have fun.
Umm...there was no country. It was an FBI sting. And whatever country you're trying to backhand had no control over who the FBI chose or needed to represent.
Another TRAITOR
“the greater the likelihood it was one particular Middle Eastern country that it has become illegal to criticize.”
Nutzy Nazi nitzy is back. You’re always good for some deranged hating on Israel.
