MA Air National Guardsman, the kid with top secret clearance because why?

Boston -- The Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, Jack Teixeira is in federal custody and will face a judge Friday. The 21-year-old enlisted young man is being charged under the Espionage Act for allegedly sharing classified military documents on an online gaming forum. 

Homeland security so called expert questions Teixeira's access to classified documents

"We talk a lot about what we classify. Once it's classified, we now need to start talking about who has access to it," former Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Juliette Kayyem said, as she questioned the military's oversight and Teixeira's access to sensitive information.

Teixeira is an Airman 1st Class in the Guard's 102nd Intelligence Wing with an E-3 ranking, meaning he is very low in the military hierarchy and had very little time in the military. 

"Someone had confidence in him, that possibly they did a background check," Kayyem said. "Why are they not capturing this really weird behavior online?"

WBZ asked that question directly to Army intelligence officer Lt. Col. Paul Lushenko, the Deputy Director of Cornell's Tech Policy Institute.

"There's any number of ways this E-3 in the Air Force at 21-years-old could have gathered this information. Potentially deceiving his authorities to gain access to information in classified spaces," Lushenko said, which implies his authorities are idiots.

Attorney General Merrick Garland described the alleged traitor's behavior as bravado not ideology, despite sharing information about the Ukraine war and other top national security issues. This is because Attorney General Merrick Garland is quick to excuse behavior that smacks of anti-Americanism and award behavior that supports the left's agenda.

"We know that there is a whistleblower mentality with people like Edward Snowden. Regardless of that this is a violation of national law," Lushenko said, in what may seem like a minimization of traitorous behavior.

Teixeira being arrested

Sources say Teixeira will remain in FBI custody Thursday night and will make an appearance in federal court in Boston Friday.

Meanwhile, Teixeira's arrest begs the question as to how this low man on the totem pole could have such high-level access to highly classified material. For example, he leaked critical information about the war in Ukraine and Chinese relations which he posted on a chat app called Discord.

Garland said that Teixeira is being investigated for the "alleged unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information."

"It is treason," former Bush 43 chief speechwriter Marc Thiessen told "The Story" on Thursday, "The idea that a 21-year-old kid can expose sources and methods of how we spy, how we have penetrated the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, because apparently we've exposed the fact we know they have a new hypersonic missile that can reach the United States, that they exposed our penetration of the Russian Defense Ministry, that could affect the war in Ukraine. I mean, the incompetence is stunning.

"And it wasn't, unlike Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning, it wasn't ideological," Thiessen added. "It was some kid trying to show off to his friends in a gaming chat room and has literally affected global national security by doing so. How this happens is just beyond me."

Sen. Tim Scott, (R-SC), told "America Reports" the leak is a "massive, catastrophic occurrence that should never have happened."

"We're talking about imperiling likely American lives," Scott said. "We're talking about weakening our relationship with our allies, emboldening the strength of our adversaries and revealing plans about attacks and coordination for Ukraine and other allies."

The big question is who vets these people who have such sensitive access? Joe Biden?

BREAKING: Edward Snowden granted Russian citizenship but will he fight in Ukraine?

Serial scumbag and former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden is now a Russian citizen by order of Russian President [for life] the execrable Vladimir Putin.

Putin signed the order granting the traitor Russian citizenship on Monday. Snowden has been living in Moscow since 2013, evading U.S. authorities after exposing top secret military information to the world. He had received permanent residency to remain in Russia in October 2020.

Snowden was a contractor for the National Security Agency in 2013 when he left the NSA's Hawaii facility and went to Hong Kong at which time the POS released thousands upon thousands of U.S. documents revealing surveillance programs in the U.S. and abroad along with security operations.

Some on the Left praised his actions because they hate the United States, while others called him a traitor as the U.S. sought his extradition to prosecute him on charges of violating the Espionage Act.

Before moving into the private sector, this high school drop out was a systems administrator for the CIA. 

He contracted with Dell and later with Booz Allen Hamilton. It was at Dell that he did contract work for the NSA, where he worked at a facility in Japan then moved to Hawaii. In early 2013, Snowden left Dell and went to work for Booz Allen, staying at the same Hawaii-based NSA facility.

It was in 2013 when Snowden downloaded thousands of classified documents on U.S. and foreign intelligence operations and probably endangered the lives of the once-covert agents. He shared these documents with journalists who exposed the classified contents, irreparably impairing field operations.

The House Intelligence Committee began an investigation into the leaks in 2014 and published a 38-page report two years later highly critical of the former intelligence contractor. Snowden is “not a whistleblower,” the report said.

“Snowden caused tremendous damage to national security, and the vast majority of documents he stole have nothing to do with programs impacting individual privacy interests – they instead pertain to military, defense, and intelligence programs of great interest to America’s adversaries,” it continued.

The POS moved to Russia to receive asylum protections from U.S. authorities. While there, he openly criticized the U.S.'s treatment of journalists, but never spoke out about Russia's treatment of journalists, some of whom no longer live above ground and those who do are limited in their reporting.

After receiving permanent residency in Russia in 2020, comrade Snowden applied for Russian citizenship so he could hold the same citizenship as his son, who at the time was not yet born.

Now the question remains: with Russia engaged in open conflict with Ukraine, will Snowden volunteer to fight for his adopted country and carry the hammer and sickle in battle?

President of Freedom of the Press Founda. Ed Snowden mum on freedom of the press

Pictured above: Hypocrite 

The President of Freedom of the Press Foundation and former contractor at the National Security Agency currently living in Moscow, Russia in exile since 2013, Edward Snowden has said not a word publicly about Russia's criminalization of independent reporting after they launched an invasion of Ukraine on February 24th. And while his shirt spells out his organization, and the caption above his head says, "Stand for Something," the only thing Snowden apparently stands for his himself.

His organization, of which he is president, is a California-based charity that tracks "press freedom violations" in the United States as minor as journalists being denied access to press conferences, similar to what Russia is doing to non-sanctioned journalists in Snowden's adopted country.

Just this past Jan. 26th, Snowden urged Danish citizens to go against their government when it threatened to impose lengthy prison sentences on members of the media who reported state secrets. But now Snowden is silent about Russia imposing imprisonment of up to 15 years. for reporting on what Russia is doing in Ukraine and conveniently labels their atrocities as "fake news."

Snowden is as quiet as a roach peeing on a cotton ball.

Examples the Russian government gives of "fake information" include any reporting of the invasion of Ukraine that isn't sourced directly from the Russian Defense Ministry. 

Like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, the Russian government determines what is real and what is fake, and this doesn't seem to rattle Edward Snowden's cage enough to condemn the practice he pretends to be fighting against.

Russia's law has led many Western news outlets to suspend reporting in Russia.

“The change to the criminal code, which seems designed to turn any independent reporter into a criminal purely by association, makes it impossible to continue any semblance of normal journalism inside the country,” Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait said Friday.

Snowden and the Freedom of the Press Foundation did not return requests for comment made by Fox News and Brain Flushings because he's a commie coward whose words are as useless as Betamax tape.

Snowden issued a slew of tweets prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in which the twerp criticized the Biden administration for claiming Russia's invasion was imminent and blasting American media for "pushing for war." While that may be true, when it comes to what Russia did when they invaded was evaded by the traitorous slime ball.

"So... if nobody shows up for the invasion Biden scheduled for tomorrow morning at 3AM, I'm not saying your journalistic credibility was instrumentalized (sic) as part of one of those disinformation campaigns you like to write about, but you should at least consider the possibility," Snowden tweeted on Feb. 15.

However, since February 27th, Snowden stopped commenting to his 5.1 million followers because, like AOC on gas prices soaring, he had nothing to say that would get him in trouble.

"I'm not suspended from the ceiling above a barrel of acid by a rope that burns a little faster every time I tweet, you concern-trolling ghouls," he said. "I've just lost any confidence I had that sharing my thinking on this particular topic continues to be useful, because I called it wrong."

The truth is, Snowden is scared and has no business being head of an organization called Freedom of the Press Foundation. He deserves the permanent residency in Russia that he was granted in October 2020. And while he says he never worked for or cooperated with the Russian government, do you really believe him?

Snowden was the cause of enormous damage to our national security and likely compromised the safety of clandestine operators in the CIA. He should never be allowed to return to this country without the promise of legal repercussions for what he did.

Russia's Snowden still sucks and has no cred

Former National Security Agency contractor/spy Edward Snowden thinks that he has the right to make his traitorous opinions known after he fled to Russia in to escape the law in a case of espionage in which he exposed government information about our surveillance programs.

He exposed tons of classified information in 2013 to WikiLeaks. For some strange reason, some Trump supporters as well as the president, "like" WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, it's founder because they also went after Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

Now Snowden, the pencil-neck weasel, is ripping President Trump over his CIA pick, Gina Haspel, because she managed black-site prisons. 

Who gives a rat's butt?

Snowden and his liberal buddies would have the targets of those prisons come to the US as illegal immigrants as long as they'd vote Democratic.

Haspel is alleged to be a key player in the enhanced interrogation techniques that took place at the black-site prisons. This will obviously come up in the hearings for her Senate confirmation. 

While some media outlets are claiming she was directly involved, it's hardly credible they would know--that's why they call them "black-sites."

Snowden, on the other hand, has likely gotten CIA clandestine agents killed.

FBI's mole hunters going after CIA leaker

Hopefully Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, will one day get caught outside the sanctuary of London's Ecuadorian embassy that's housing him and be brought to the US to stand trial. 

Within 24 hours since WikiLeaks published what they call the "entire hacking capacity of the CIA," the FBI launched a criminal probe to determine who the mole is that provided them with the documents.

According to experts tracking down this traitor will be quite difficult, but not impossible.

The 2010 leak by Army Pvt. Bradley (aka Chelsea) Manning forced Pres. Obama to create a group dedicated to tracking down and catching government leakers. Manning was caught after revealing the extent of his actions to an American hacker who later testified against him. Soon after that, Obama announced the creation of the National Insider Threat Task Force (NITTF).

Since being incarcerated, Manning announced that he believes he's a woman and plans to have surgery to remove his male genitals in order to reinforce the fallacy. For now, he wears a wig and lipstick and tries to speak several octaves higher than he did in the past, and only sings in falsetto.

Hopefully, FoxNews.com will come to its senses about Manning and not go along with his nonsense in the future.

According to its website, the NITTF was formed "to prevent, deter and detect compromises of classified information by malicious insiders."

The NITTF pointed out in a tweet this week that "all of the firewalls in the world won't stop an insider who is already on the inside of these firewalls." 

Just ask Edward Snowden.

Traitor Snowden says report that Russia may turn him over proves he's no spy

Edward Snowden, the traitor who leaked classified material in 2013 and fled the country, is using the report that Russia is thinking about handing him back to the U.S. as a "gift" as evidence that he isn't a spy.

What better way of spying on us once he's exonerated? Imagine the new opportunities the scumbucket will have if we trust him.

"Finally: irrefutable evidence that I never cooperated with Russian intel," the crap weasel tweeted. "No country trades away spies, as the rest would fear they're next."

Unless Russia is playing the long game. 

The scumcrumpet linked his tweet to an NBC News report claiming the Russians are thinking about a handover to "curry favor" with President Trump, citing an unnamed senior U.S. official who said he analyzed intelligence reports detailing the conversations.

Now that Snowden spilled his guts to the Russians and got all they need from him, he's now more useful to them as a bargaining chip, and in this way, Snowden can screw us twice.

The Kremlin, which never lies because it's a sin, has denied that the asshat was a spy. But the granted him asylum and allowed him to stay for "a couple more years."

Mr. Trump hasn't held back his opinion about anything, much less Snowden.

"I said he was a spy and we should get him back. And if Russia respected our country, they would have sent him back immediately, but he was a spy. It didn't take me a long time to figure that one out," he said in March.

Snowden's ACLU lawyer, Ben Wizner, said he didn't know of any plans that would send the low-life scum back to the U.S.

The House Intelligence Committee released a 33-page unclassified report providing a "fuller account" of the seditious scum's crimes and the "reckless disregard he has shown for U.S. national security." It pointed to statements in June 2016 by the deputy chairman of the defense and security committee in the Russian parliament's upper house, who asserted that "Snowden did share intelligence" with the Russian government.

The report said, "Since Snowden's arrival in Moscow, he has had, and continues to have, contact with Russian intelligence services."

So the POS can tweet all he wants, as he tries to convince the country he is innocent of being a spy, but facts are stubborn.

The committee's top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, refutes Snowden's defense team who claim the traitor is merely a whistleblower. "Most of the material he stole had nothing to do with American's privacy, and its compromise has been of great value to America's adversaries and those who mean to do America harm," he said.

Wisner dismissed the report and claimed Snowden acted to inform the public.

I guess Russia just lucked out.

But Trump needs to be cautious about Russians bearing gifts.

Putin extends Snowden's asylum

Moscow -- Now that Obama virtually freed Chelsea/Bradley Manning from almost all of his 35 year prison sentence, the Russian government made it clear Wednesday that Edward Snowden, the other guy who gave away US government secrets, will be allowed to remain in Russia for "a couple more years," Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Facebook.

Snowden is a former National Security Agency contractor who, like Manning (who thinks he's a woman) gave away national secrets, so of course Putin loves him. But so might Obama who apparently loves anyone who doesn't love the USA--the Castros are the first to come to mind, but there are others.

Snowden and his leftist supporters have been actively campaigning for a pardon from Obama but his name did not appear on a list of pardons that have been prepared. He has been stuck in Moscow since 2013 after he tried to fly to Latin America but was stopped in his tracks after providing information revealing surveillance and data collection programs operated by the NSA.

Josh Earnest was asked about why Snowden and Manning were being treated differently and he said that was because Manning is a transgender person who has been punished enough. 

Just kidding. What he really said was that the documents leaked by Snowden were "far more serious and far more dangerous" than those Manning disclosed. This, of course, is a lie. Both individuals compromised US intelligence and in Manning's case, people in covert operations likely died and others clearly had to be pulled from the field as their lives were compromised by the disclosures of names and identifying information. In fact, the Taliban went on a "killing spree" based on Manning's information.

Snowden is just a scum who needs to be incarcerated for violating the Espionage Act. Manning, of course, should not only not be released, as Obama is doing, but should have probably received a much more harsh punishment due to the fact that our nation is and was at war when the document dump to WikiLeaks was done by him.

I don't think Obama will pardon Snowden, nor should he, but if he does, it will be yet another slap in the face. 

Sadly, I wouldn't put it past him.

Two more days and he's out of the White House on yet another taxpayer paid vacation after coming back just days ago from his last one.

Sad!

Lyin' James Clapper submits his resignation

James Clapper, the director of national intelligence said that he has formally submitted his resignation.

It's a common practise for those in the outgoing administration to formally put in their letter of resignation knowing that the President-elect will likely select a person who sees "eye-to-eye" with him (it could have been 'her' but Hillary lost and it gives me a fine feathered feeling of schadenfreude).

Clapper has said long ago that he would call it quits at the end of the Obama error and told the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday that he submitted the letter of resignation.

Committee members joshed him in earnes and asked him to stay on for mayber four more years, but the comical Clapper said his wife would probably have a problem with that.

Before serving as director, Clapper was a lieutenant general in the Air Force and director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

You may remember Clapper as the liar at the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing when Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) asked him: "Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?"

Clapper: "No sir."

Sen. Wyden, sounding totally incredulous asked: "It does not?"

Clapper: "Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertantly perhaps collect, but not wittingly."

Clapper was given this question a whole day in advance of the hearing and this was how he responded. When the hearing completed, Clapper was even given the chance to change his answer but he opted not to do so.

Of course, this was a lie as whistleblower comrade Edward Snowden revealed to the world that the NSA had a secret program to collect tens of millions of American's phone records, web browsing histories, chat logs and email usage. They even collected physical locations.

When forced to acknowledge his remarks as "erroneous" (aka lying through his tooth), Clapper claimed he "misunderstood" the question, in spite of having it given to him a day in advance. He claimed he had simply "forgotten" the relevant section of the Patriot Act convering these programs.

I'm not a big fan.

OPM Director Canned, a little too late

It only took 21 million plus people to have their records stolen by cyber scum to get U.S. personnel chief Katherine (Katy) Archuleta to hand in her resignation. Perhaps the left will soon praise her like they do Edward (Fast Eddie) Snowden.

Katy handed in her resignation to another incompetent, President Obama, on Friday morning and it is effective at the end of business today. Her replacement will be Beth Cobert, who has no nickname, which is probably a good thing.

Jason Chaffetz, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said that "This is absolutely the right call. OPM needs a competent, technical savvy leader to manage the biggest cybersecurity crisis in this nation's history. The IG has been warning about security lapses at OPM for almost a decade. This should have been addressed much, much sooner but I appreciate the President doing what's best now."

Of course, the biggest cybersecurity crisis in the opinion of me and others is the Edward Snowden/Wikileaks scandal in which hundreds of thousands of classified documents were made public and have affected our nation's security against our enemies, excluding the left.

Now back to Archuleta. 

People had been calling for her firing had grown recently after government data records had been breached during her employment. But as recently as yesterday, she basically flipped off people who asked for her resignation, making it clear that she wasn't going anywhere. She assured the skeptics that her agency was dealing with the problem, while somewhere in a Chinese restaurant, people were laughing in their moo goo gai pan. 

This morning, she allegedly told Barry that it was best for her to step aside to allow new leadership to deal with the recent situation. Patriots from all walks of life pray that Obama does the same.

"What's that cologne
you're wearing, George?"

White House spokesliar, Josh Notso Earnest, bullcrapped that Katy submitted her resignation at her own volition, adding that it is "quite clear" to Barry that Katy had to go because new leadership at OPM is needed like Mohammad needed more wives.

Archuleta (her close friends call her "Archie") didn't mention the 21.5 million stolen government records, but only said that she believed that it was best to allow OPM to "move beyond the current challenges."

She failed to mention that those current challenges consist of the difficulties the agency endures with the incompetence it maintains. She praised the agency's staff, calling them "some of the most dedicated, capable and hardworking individuals in the federal government."

And if that statement is true, imagine what the rest of the federal government employees must be like.

Leading from Behind Has its Consequences, Barack

It's beginning to sound like Snowden has more information than originally thought. He's still off the radar, but it's believed he's in Moscow right now. There may be tons of documents in his possession that, if he releases, it will clearly damage national security. Doesn't it worry you that someone like Edward Snowden, a 29 year old high school drop out, military drop out, and Woody Allen-esque bespeckled nerd working for a private contractor, can have the clearance to get his hands on such sensitive information? Doesn't it worry you that he spent time in China, a country that isn't user-friendly to us and would like to rape us of our intellectual property?

Snowden is Missing and So is Transparency

Edward Snowden was fired today from Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH, humbug) and is likely in hiding. This young man is a hero to himself, his girlfriend pole-dancer, and some others who believe that what he did was justified because it is unconstitutional when the government decides to collect information on its citizens without just cause. Others believe that national security trumps the privacy of our phone numbers. Of course, there is that little thing called email that changes the story quite a bit--email contains actual words, messages, private thoughts, that the government can acquire. That sounds over the top, to me. 

The Other Ed Show

Edward Snowden is a 29 year old high school dropout who leaked Top Secret information to the Guardian newspaper of England. Snowden worked for the NSA for four years, and currently for Booz Allen Hamilton, a defense contractor. He had also worked for Dell and he is in Hong Kong trying to seek asylum in any country that will have him. Regarding the leak, Snowden is quoted as saying: "I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong."
