BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The man who leaked hundreds of classified U.S. military documents online made claims, without evidence, about the mass shooting at Tops Friendly Markets, according to a Washington Post report.

Documents with classified intelligence were brought home by the leaker from his job on a “military base" and then shared on Discord, an acquaintance told the Post.

Discord is an online chat app used by millions of people, including Tops gunman Payton Gendron. The leaked documents contained information about the war in Ukraine, U.S. intelligence-gathering and surveillance technology.

The leaker, called "OG" by some Discord users, told people in the chat room that the government hid horrible truths from the public, the Post reported.

Screw this constant “without evidence” cover up. They made a claim. That’s the news. If they didn’t present any evidence you can mention that also. But not as an adjective.

When are they “leakers” and when are they “whistleblowers”?

When DC shills decide?

The Post reviewed approximately 300 photos of classified documents. The documents were only intended to be seen by the users in the group, but subsequently leaked onto other online platforms.

Where are these "other documents?" We've seen the 6 or so regarding Ukraine, but has ANYONE seen all these other so-called 'leaked documents?'

Until they are shown to be truly leaked to the public, I say they don't really exist.

Never let a crisis go to waste. In this case, use the arrest of the 21 year-old patsy to stir distrust, smear "right wingers," and christians, etc...

Does any sane person doubt this sentence?

The Bidenplex needed a shooter for his false "White Supremacist" claims, so he had the alphabets recruit a mentally unstable individual, armed him, and pointed him to the Tops Market.

Allegedly the shooter did have people in the Discord egging him on and where he posted his writings.

When will journalists learn that they don’t get to editorialize in a ‘news’ article. I suspect they guy they’re writing about is trying to provide evidence.

“…the government hid horrible truths from the public.”

Sounds about right. How is that new, to anyone?

My experience is that government bureauccrats hide the truth #1 The truth would expose their incompetence
#2 The truth would expost the fact that the government may act like God, but lacks the knowledge and wisdoom of God.
#3 The truth is more embarrassing than anythig else. Who wants to be embarrassed?

If every attorney refuses to represent him, and he is appointed a far left-wing Democrat-supporting attorney who flubs the defense, and if he is refused an opportunity to present a reasonable defense, then you will know this kid is being set up for some reason by our government.

I just can’t believe a 21 year-old National Guardsman would have access to this much information regarding so many different high-level issues. I’ve never been in the military and I guess that shows, but I thought information was shared on a “need to know basis”. It seems as if this kid had a “need to know” information about just about every current governmental and military action being taken. Not to mention the “conspiracy theories” angle. What type of clearance does that entail?

When you see the phrase “without evidence”, you can be pretty darn sure there IS evidence.

The Government of Israel has no problem identifying such documents as claiming Mossad is encouraging protests (if not sedition) against Israel’s democratically elected civilian government.

Is their a source for the original documents publicly available?
