Pretty boy Jack Teixeira, a traitor who leaked classified military information on the Russia-Ukrainian war, copped a plea deal after admitting what he did, and will be sentenced to 192 months in prison. This had been one of the most damning security breaches in years and he is lucky to receive such a light sentence.
Teixeira, 22, was a Massachusetts Air National guardsman and looked spiffy in his orange prison jumpsuit
and shackles as he shuffled into court. He waved to his family before proceedings proceeded, according to a Washington Post reporter on X.

The scumbag pleaded guilty to all six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information against him — charges that could have slapped him with 720 months in prison.
He was arrested in April 2023 for [at the time] allegedly abusing his security clearance to post top-secret Pentagon documents on the gaming app Discord, according to court documents reviewed by The New York Post.
Some of the documents this weasel released to the general public was detailed intelligence assessments of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, showing "how the equipment would be transferred, and how the equipment would be used upon receipt," a federal indictment shows.
As part of Teixeira’s plea deal, the former guardsman agreed to accept a prison sentence of between 11 and 16 years and eight months. A federal judge will ultimately decide how much time he gets, according to ABC News, but with this current "hate on America" atmosphere, it's more likely to be closer to 11 years than 16.
Teixiera’s deal with prosecutors also means he will be charged a $50,000 fine and face three years of supervised release once he gets out of federal prison.
He was also ordered to have a debrief with members of the Department of Defense and the Justice Department and to return any national security documents that may still be in his possession, according to the court documents.
Additionally, he agreed “that he has a continuing legal obligation to refrain from the unauthorized oral or written disclosure of classified information, or information relating to the national defense,” the plea deal reads, so WikiLeaks can forget about contacting him in the future.
In exchange, federal prosecutors said they would not charge Teixera with additional crimes under the Espionage Act, so he's getting off easy.
Teixeira enlisted in the US Air National Guard in 2019 — and despite being a low-level airman, for some crazy reason he was granted top-secret security clearance in 2021, according to the DOJ.

During that time, Teixeira worked as a cyber transport systems journeyman for the 102nd Intelligence Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, at Otis Air National Guard Base in Cape Cod, where he performed his treasonous behavior.
By December, 15 members of the 102nd Intelligence Wing, including his former unit commander, were also disciplined for failing to supervise him and neglecting to inform authorities about his espionage-like behavior.
