Despite working in information technology within an intelligence wing of the Air Force, Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira would not have legally had access to the classified information he’s accused of leaking on a Discord server, former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Kash Patel said Friday. Patel’s assessment echoes what was written at RedState on Thursday.
On Breitbart News, Patel also described several methods by which Teixeira could have gained access to the information:
Patel said, first, the suspected leaker, Jack Teixeira, would not have had access to the information without someone within the Department of Defense (DOD) or the intelligence community giving it to him, providing it to him, or telling him it should be put out there. “It’s just not possible,” he said.
“You can be the biggest IT person in DOD, and you are still compartmented off of the actual information. Almost never does an IT person need to know, as we say, the substance of the intelligence. Their job is to provide the secure informations systems around it to protect any disclosures.”

We’re being played, this is Kabuki Theater on steroids.
CIA or FBI?
The deeper this gets, the more it stinks.
Still waiting for the Dobbs leaker.
Can’t argue with that theory sadly.
Occam’s Razor says its legit. Like the nutbag “Reality Winner” stuff a couple years ago.
Absolute diversion, this kid is a fall guy I think the leak goes all the way to the top, one or two levels below.
One’s Occam’s Razor is another’s Normalcy Bias.
As some have suggested, this is being used to push the RESTRICT Act.
You know, the one the Graham is a sponsor of but he didn’t know he was a sponsor of, until Waters told him was. Done after Graham went on a tirade as to how bad the bill is.
And we continue to elect these POSs
The FBI and CIA are consistent liars.
If they claim one thing, you can rest assured that its the other.
“ Absolute diversion, this kid is a fall guy I think the leak goes all the way to the top, one or two levels below.”
I’m in 100% agreement with you.
Excerpt from the piece:
“A possibility that needs to be considered is that Teixeira was given many of the documents by someone else who did have access to them, and who wanted them to be leaked.”
Teixeria’s step dad put in 34 years in this same intelligence unit.
What kinda access could the dad have to this information?
Apparently the modern journalist doesn’t bother with accurate background research these days. Patel was never DNI, he was a deputy to Grinnell who was a DNI under Trump. If the writer can’t get basic information like that right why should I accept anything he says after that.
Sundance over at CTH is saying it’s CIA, on the strength of the “news” outlet that fingered him.
Discord: Govt spooks waiting to set you up.
Freedom of speech: It’s a great way to frame loudmouthed innocents.
Kids get wound up on social media these days. They crave “likes” and instant validation.
You are correct. Patel was actually Principal Deputy to the Acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell. I noticed several sites have misstated his title over the past few weeks.
Feel free to hit abuse on my article should you feel the entire article is fake.
Was the kid in Biden’s garage?
If Patel was Deputy DNI, he would have known everything Grinnell knew.
If Teixeria gets an attorney who is actually working on his behalf, get ready to start hearing the phrase,”graymail”.
In all likelihood, his attorneys will be working with the federal prosecutors to get him screwed as much as possible.
