The leader of a small online gaming group where classified US intelligence documents were leaked is a 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard’s intelligence branch, the New York Times reported Thursday.
According to interviews and documents reviewed by the newspaper, the agents’ interest has focused on the National Guardsman, Jack Teixeira, who oversaw the private group called Thug Shaker Central.
On the other hand, another report from the Wall Street Journal partially confirms this theory, adding that investigators believe the person responsible for the leak would be an Air National Guardsman stationed at Fort Bragg at the time of the leak. In addition, an arrest could occur as early as Thursday.
Why publish his name before he is arrested? Especially in a supposedly “top secret” national security case?
Inadvertently leaked documents that exposed the wrong side of his agenda? Whoda thunk? That is what you get for handing out TS clearances to unvetted homos.
