The leader of an online group behind suspected US military document leaks is national guardsman Jack Teixeira, officials have told NBC News.
Teixeira, 21, is said to have overseen a private online group, containing around 30 people, in which the leaked documents were shared.
He is a member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The New York Times.
Officials told Sky News' US partner network, NBC News, that they have been on to him for some time and that an arrest is imminent.
While their accuracy has been questioned, the leaked documents appear to reveal potential vulnerabilities in Ukraine's defences, as well as the numbers of UK special forces allegedly active in the country.
Known as "OG" in the Discord chatroom, the suspect behind the leaks allegedly claimed to spend parts of his day inside a secure facility where phones were banned, according to a story published by the Washington Post.

military gamer crowd is in a special group
Yes, because everything is a game , and losers just hit a rest button, all good.
No Consequences. And no one ever gets 😞 hurt, except feelings.
For some, war games approach real life situations and can be useful as a training ground, , but without the actual dying/death to self part.
Anyone who is above average should come out of basic as at least an E-2.
Well, it's been a while since I went to USAF BMT, but you could only get a stripe or two for: College credits, Jr. ROTC, or Sign up for 6 years.
Otherwise, you come out with a slick sleeve.
Do you dispute that there is a USAF rank of E-1, AB, that is a slick sleeve?
As I recall, there were some 500 who were “assigned” to the NSC which I find totally ridiculous; Trump’s final appointee to NSC got it down to about 40. A lot of people sitting around doing something close to nothing and having access they neither need nor deserve.
No, there isn’t a dispute that E-1s don’t have stripes, but that E-2 is frequently given once you finish, probably at your next station.
I just don’t remember many guys with no stripes for very long.
Precisely! I wouldn’t doubt if this was a set up.
Q: Since when does a reservistget access to compartmentalized Pentagon data ?
A: Never.
Conclusion: Total B.S.. story.
Scapegoat, probably a Latin mass catholic who voted for trump, had a religious vac exemption and attended his kids school board meeting and voiced complaint about academia grooming his grade scholl kid.
Or just another spook who plays the part for a news cycle then gets a name change and a promotion and a pay raise and bonus.
Color me skeptical.
*****************
The guy is only 21, I doubt he has kids in school, but hey, who knows?
Witness said he loved God, shooting guns, and cars.
At least he didn’t sell them to China like Joe Biden did.
It’s a mirror image selfie
To be fair, this leaker was easy to catch. He was posting them in a discord server under his account.
Yep. The fact that he apparently didn’t even try to hide who he was while he was posting it shows he didn’t really care.
I agree. The NSC was used as a trojan horse to hamstring Trump and they did a good job of it. The NSC needs to be locked up. It was always unnecessary.
Your post....
Including I have no respect nor confidence in any of them. Recall, too, that 21 of them signed a letter claiming Trump colluded with Russia - a boldface lie!!!!

True. Why should we pay attention to a corrupt banana republic group that is actively targeting Donald Trump because they hate him as their political opponent?
Well the Federal Gov is the enemy to all these days.
You need to grow up, this isn’t a game, and we don’t award a Medal of Honor to traitors, this is a serious breach of national Security and will cost lives and is damaging our relationship with our allies, serious damage.
Ribbons on wrong side.

How does a Air National Guardsman who is now a 21 year old or younger when he is suppose to have started have access to top secret documents?
I bet he was setup.
Good points!
