Following the leak of classified documents exposing the Biden Administration's corrupt lies, the administration and the media are determined to convict the whistleblower.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Thursday that the FBI had arrested 21-year-old Air National Guardsmen Jack Teixeira in connection with their investigation into the leak of classified military documents reported last week.
The fact that they already have a suspect in custody for this embarrassing leak is quite telling. They are still “baffled” about who was behind the politically convenient Supreme Court leak regarding the Dobbs decision so many months ago. But the difference between this leak and that other leak is that this one must be about the leaker instead of the content of the leak. And thats because the content of this leak is an exposé of the Biden Administration’s utter incompetence, dishonesty, and corruption.
The documents reportedly contain a host of sensitive information relevant to ongoing events involving the conflict in Ukraine.
According to the New York Times, the documents contain a description of Ukraine’s struggling air defenses and plans for their coming counteroffensive campaign. All of that information could have a significant impact on the dynamics of this war.
Many Americans are skeptical about wether all the money we’ve spent in Ukraine is actually serving our interests. But if the Biden Administration insists on spending billions of taxpayer dollars on this war, they should at least be competent enough to avoid a tactical blunder of such magnitude. And they could’ve avoided it if they weren’t so corrupt and dishonest that a whistleblower felt obligated — as he certainly was — to expose their lies.
We have been told since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine that it is not a proxy war between the United States and Russia. We’ve been told that there are no U.S. forces deployed in the war zone, and we have been told that Ukraine is winning. That is the narrative that has been pushed by the media and our government on repeat for more than a year. But the leaked documents completely shatter that narrative.
The leak revealed that there are U.S. forces deployed in Ukraine. In fact, this was confirmed on Wednesday by John Kirby in an interview with Fox News. This is not only a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia. We are quite literally in the middle of a hot war with Russia. A war which has not been approved by Congress as our laws would require. That makes it a crime.
The documents also reveal that Ukrainian forces are in dire straits. According to the documents, there have been a total of 16,000-17,500 Russian casualties and as many as 71,000 Ukrainian casualties.
General Mark Milley stated publicly in November that Russia had lost well over 100,000 soldiers. And these documents aren’t even old. According to New York Times reporter David Sanger, the documents were mere weeks old at the time of the leak.
Furthermore, just two weeks ago Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin made the assertion that Ukraine was winning the war while he was testifying before Congress. That is not true. Ukraine is not winning the war and Austin knew that when he made a claim to the contrary. Lying before Congress is a crime.
And now the administration is asking the media to cover all of this up.
...
In a recent press conference, John Kirby asked reporters to refrain from reporting on the leak saying, “it has no business, if you don't mind me saying, on the front pages of newspapers or on television. It is not intended for public consumption, and it should not be out there.”
It is the government's job to keep classified documents out of the public eye and it is the job of the press to report information to the public. But the Biden Administration failed — as a result of their own corruption — to keep these documents secret, so they want the press to do it for them. And the press is doing just that.
The mainstream media has focused most of their energy on making this story about the source of the leak rather than the content of the documents. But the content in the documents has turned out to be far more important than the source of the leak. In fact, we should be thanking the source of the leak for providing us with the information we now have.
If the administration wants to argue that the American public doesn't have a right to know that U.S. forces are fighting in Ukraine, they are simply wrong. We certainly do have a right to know that our leaders are waging an illegal war and committing perjury before Congress.
Jack Teixeira simply recognizes that. But unfortunate for him and the rest of the country, it is unlikely that anybody in the Biden Administration will face any consequences for their crimes. The only person who will be going to jail is the whistleblower — for the “crime” of exposing them.
How did we get here? Carter caused considerable pain but Reagan won a huge electoral victory. Obama was awful but Trump won in 2016. We thought the Republic was saved. With Biden nominally in charge but the woke gang and bigger security state really calling the shots, the danger to the Republic is huge. The left is using Putin as a political weapon and weakening this nation. Will they and Russia allow any sane peace deal?
Nixon was driven from office for a penny-ante burglary, but Brandon and the Dems have carte-blanche on all levels of treason without a single peep of reproach from the fake MSM. BRILLIANT!
And for the unpteenth time, saying the above does not make me a Russia lover or a Putinista. I am pro-USA, pro-sound foreign policy and pro-reality based reporting.
Exactly. And the usual posters will keep pushing pro-Ukraine propanganda and the pro-US war boostings.
You bet. It was hard not to notice..
Before the war, Ukraine was known as being one of the most corrupt countries in the world. What happened to that knowledge?
Obama/Biden, Hillary, Soros and the deep state DID overthrow the Ukraine government. Then they opened up their biolabs and US taxpayer funded laundromat.
But that was in 2014 when Obama did not wish to intervene directly in the annexation of Crimea and the media sought to help him by casting aspersions on Ukraine.
So much of the media's coverage now is shaped by its belief that the Russians intervened on behalf of Trump in the 2016 election. Now it serves its narrative to depict Ukraine as a plucky defender of democracy.
So those 2014 accounts of Ukrainian misdeeds have been memory-holed.
George Orwell would blush
Non sequitur.
China and Russia probably most corrupt non-African countries.
I agree, and I know more about Ukraine and it’s history now then I will ever know about so South Dakota

This ain’t no party
This ain’t no disco…
I could have told you that. The main purpose is to keep the source of Biden’s blood money open and flowing. The secondary purpose is to keep Biden’s other criminal enterprises such as human trafficking up and running.
There’s a poster available of Pre War Ukraine (evil) and current Ukraine narrative. Any rational person would believe we’re helping the Nazi now. It’s insane!
Biden supports corrupt countries.
How else does he get his 10% cut.
Biden supports corrupt countries.
How else does he get his 10% cut.
The proxy war is:
The United States via Ukraine
versus
China via Russia
Who are the idiots that thought the government, the Biden administration, was telling the truth??
Yep.
Biden getting his 10%. Putin getting his too.
They couldn’t do it without each other.
Good post.
