Hell, now I have to worry if I was the guy that read him on and signed his SF 312 while at Ft. Huachuca.
My brother trained with this guy at Ft Huachuca - same MOS, my brother’s in Iraq right now and posted this story on his Facebook page yesterday saying how disgusted he was with this scumbag.
250,000 secret or higher docs leaked?
FWIW, "secret" documents out of the US Government bureaucracy are a dime a dozen and 99% of them are no more sensitive than a dry cleaning receipt for some high-ranking state department flunky.
They classify anything and everything in government these days precisely because they can, and they require security clearances for all manner of jobs that have little or nothing to do with any real issue of national security.
To put it another way, there are people who work at the Census Bureau that are required to have a "security clearance" for their job. Same with the Commerce Department, just about anything involved in international trade or economic numbers crunching (wouldn't want the masses to know that the government fudges economic indicators to make it look like the economy is doing better than it is, would we?). They even require a clearance for people who work in the travel offices that make hotel and rental car arrangements for low-level bureaucrats, meaning receipts from the Thrifty counter and the tiki bar at the Holiday Inn could technically be "classified."
So when they say this kid leaked 250,000 documents, I'd be willing to bet that over 249,000 them were meaningless pieces of bureaucratic crap that never merited classification in the first place. And the other 1,000 or so are probably politically embarrassing letters that show the complete ineptitude of Hildebeast's State Department.
