  1. Notice how she talks of "our adversaries", and shares the government's outrage at the leak!

    It's almost like the media is an extension of the govt…hmmm….

  2. We hope that Snowden eventually is able to face justice like Teixeira

  3. Say someone takes a car bc the door was unlocked & the keys were in the ignition…

    Is it Theft or Entrapment?

  4. The pixelated guy that didn't want to be shown sounded very, very rehearsed with what he was saying. This whole things reeks of something fishy. Manhunt. The guy was outside on his deck reading. I'm sure he knew helicopters were flying above him. He wasn't hiding. Not buying this BS.

  5. oh just 15year.. his 21 now so he be out 36 he be okay put the dumb traitor in jail trow his key.

  6. PATHETIC GOVERNMENT!!!!! HES A HERO!!!

  7. 0 budget for defense but all the money went to athletes and rappers😂

  8. "(Disgraced TRE45QN TrumPutian) Air National Guardsman charged with unauthorized transmission of classified documents" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" with Laus DEO

  9. Why is Biden not charged when he had DOCS in his garage and many other places, and he was not supposed to have them at all. This is not a fair Justice system at all. The kid should be set free unless Biden gets arrested also.

  10. Rapper terminology OG and Thug Shake Central

  11. The real question is, why was this not noticed from within the military in the first place? If the leadership of the military can't get OPSEC under control they need to be fired en masse. The press found this Discord server and pretty much all of the participants in a matter of weeks.There needs to be some massive investigation and firings within the Massachusetts Air National Guard, and this kid and his superiors need to be tried under the UCMJ, NOT the civilian court system. A generation ago this kid would hang for what he did.

  12. I'm not at all surprised of the identity of the person leaking the documents. I'm a veteran myself and I used to raise my eyebrows on some of the young individuals (and mature ones too) they entrusted with secret documents. And immediately those same individuals would sing like canaries bragging about the type of access they have. There is nothing complicated as much as people hear claims on how much of a background check they give military personnel or other individuals access to classified documents and information. They give certain or some individuals a lot of scrutiny before granting someone top secret access. I and few were some of those individuals in which it took an extended period of time to be granted access. And a lot of people do take to heart how well they protect classified documents.

    There is no doubt in my opinion that some up the chain of command simply handed that Airman a top-secret security clearance without any type of thorough investigations or background checks. Some individuals in the military and other government entities will hand over top secret security clearances to individuals like that idiot Airman as if they are giving away cotton candy. For many in our government that take to heart on securing classified documents and information, they deserve a well-earned amount of respect, and we should not know who has access. Which is the way it's supposed to work most of the time. Unfortunately, a lot of individuals scream at the top of their lungs and brag to almost anyone within earshot about how much access they have to sensitive data. And because of that, a lot of leadership within our government that grants these idiots like that Texiera guy who leaked the documents should share a cell with him too. They're the idiots that granted the Airman and similar individuals like him full access to the nation's classified information.

  13. I would be willing to bet that if Trump was now president that the news media would be praising him for exposing what they claim is a corrupt administration.

  14. Given the horrific crime. I expected the guy to be black, trans, gay, and liberal. But, it's a white kid. We should let him go.

    Excused me! Why is anyone making this about race? It's almost like they're trying to make it about race when it comes to the rules of law. It's almost like they're tryig to bring back White Power?

  15. Trying to be cool & seemingly important will cost this young American his Freedom for a while, but even more importantly… any position of "Public Trust" in the future.

  16. Stop making excuses for intentional bad bad or criminal behavior, he make mistakes and choices like all humans

  17. White Privilege denied here🫰🏾

  18. So he saw this coming, oh okay!

  19. Why can't they can't find Hunter Biden laptop and Biden family making money from Ukraine and China but found him and now Assange Snowden and this guy is a Criminal and both parties are corrupt criminals organization like the mafia

  20. He must be punished according to military code of conduct…

  21. WHY THE HELL DID IT TAKE 2 MONTHS TO GET HIM???

  22. How does one guy barely out of college pull it off? Something is missing.

  23. We should have NEVER got involved in the Ukraine War. It has NOTHING to do with us. All based on LIES from the very beginning

  24. “Ok, airman, these files go in the trash and those files go on the internet. You got that ? “

  25. Joe had a garage full of classified documents, and tens of millions in China donations, but blacks love him for the free lunch.

  26. Whoever gave him access need to be charged as an accomplice

  27. He forgot to flee to Russia

  28. I feel ive seen this before a different time same exact scene’s

  29. Remember Guys, nothing gets leaked that the deep state doesn’t want leaked.

  30. I'm amazed at how many people have just accepted what was in the leaks and not asking why has congress and the administration lied to everyone about the Ukraine war .

  31. Why is nobody talking about the actual documents leaked????? The us actively has troops in the Ukraine! And they are still losing!

  32. We should focus more on the information in these documents. Clearly Ukraine is getting destroyed on the battlefield and the Secretary of Defense Austin lied to congress. Austin should resign as he is a full fledged liar. He should also be charged with lying to congress. Blinken should also step down.
