An anti-Trump IT specialist the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was arrested on Thursday for attempting to provide classified national defense information to a foreign government.
According to the DOJ, Nathan Vilas Laatsch, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia, was arrested on Thursday in northern Virginia, and will make his initial court appearance in the Eastern District of Virginia on Friday.
The Justice Department said Laatsch offered to transmit classified information to the foreign government because he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” that he had access to, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.”

Per the Justice Department:
According to court documents, Laatsch became a civilian employee of the DIA in 2019, where he works with the Insider Threat Division and holds a Top Secret security clearance. In March 2025, the FBI commenced an operation after receiving a tip that an individual — now known to be Laatsch — offered to provide classified information to a friendly foreign government. In that email, the sender wrote that he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” that he had access to, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.”

If that’s the case...
Possibly.
Or maybe the allegedly friendly country was worried about getting caught.
FWIW, our republic has far fewer allies than we think.
Far, far fewer.
Our Deep State, however, has plenty.
He should be executed.
“Better yet, fry this punk on JUNE 19TH in remembrance of the Rosenbergs. Make June 19th FRY-DAY!!!”
I love your suggestion!
Looks like a “Friend of Pete” (Boot-edge-edge)
Firing squad, today!
Execute him.
Dems are Evil! They only care about not being embarrassed & not losing face & they would rather cause chaos & destruction instead of admitting that they are not invincible & they don’t hold superior ideals & values. They can’t face & won’t accept the shattering of their egotism in order to rebuild it into something more stable. Instead they cling to the shards of their egotism & paint others as evil, when evil is what they are choosing to behave.
When does TREASON with DEATH as a result come back again?
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
Really should bring back the electric chair or hanging for treason.
If you hire a democrat or a liberal note the DNT ID card DI DO NOT TRUST.
Sounds a little ‘treasony’
Last name is German in origin meaning to slouch along.
Treason No! Military tribunal followed by firing squad, was rinse repeat as needed, for all traitors to the Republic, whoever and whatever office they may hold.
Anybody think the left/”progressives”/”liberals”/wokies, Democrats are not a fifth column?
