  1. He has airsoft guns. Throw away the key.

  2. Bet if he was black with all the racist rants and penchant for violence the feds would have more than likely paid him a visit with the electric chair in tow.

  3. Typical office process. The staff and the receptionist are the ones with access to reading and updating data.

    Management only sees monthly reports on the data when they attend catered meetings.

  4. An Air National Guard member should receive Active Duty Orders, be charged and appear before a General Court Martial and be consigned to mandatory Custody, pending conviction. Why is this being handled as a conventional civilian prosecution with the possibility of pre-trial release?

  5. He siunds like everycommie- red cap wearing reich-wingger I know!

  6. He is a traitor and a disgrace to the Armed Forces, either a lifetime jail sentence or as a member of the armed forces, executed.

  7. The corrupt corporate media is giving Biden the questions before his press conferences. They even have a name and pic of the reporter he is directed to call on. Caught on video tape. Real journalists are rising out of the ashes you corporate boot lickers have left behind. It is exciting to watch.

  8. Good point that other counties would be incentivized to spend money to help him (and the access to documents) out of the country

  9. trump did similar and he was a government employee too
    jail them both

  10. Just more fake news narrative from the fbi for the pleebs that watch nbc to believe.

  11. The person who gave him Security Clearance needs to be investigated, too.

  12. Why isn’t the DOD stepping in and charging him as well. Plus they can detain him and indefinitely until his trial. He is a domestic terrorist.

  13. So.. all those leakers during Trump's term were heroes and whistle-blowers and needed to be protected. Anyone applying a double standard is an a$$clown 🤡.

  14. The right wing hero. They gonna let him off with a lite sentence. they'll delay and let people forget about it and he'll be free in a couple years. He just has to cry in court and thr prosecutors will offer a plea deal n say prison will affect him in a bad way. We've seen it happen many times before.

  15. Interested in how the corrupt leftist collusion propaganda media is focusing more on the leak than the documents that showed the US is pessimistic about Ukraine's chances of winning the war. Billions were spent on what is now being called a stalemate.

  16. Why isn't he being held by the military for courts martial?

  17. Democrats can’t let him get away before he commits “suicide.”

  18. Good job Joe, caught another Traitor. One more Orange one to go!

  19. 25 years? That’s it? Ask Julius & Ethel Rosenberg what happened to them…
    oh, wait…… You can’t.
    Because they were EXECUTED for what they did.

  20. Murderous people of a certain group get released everyday!
    What about Biden who is working for China?
    Fake news!

  21. It's time to check out this sweet boy for some possible connection with mr.putin…KGB once was successfully following one American fool ~ from 1984, when that fool attended the ussr together with his foreign wife… KGB liked that fool because of his "unique personality" – he was suitable for the future influence. And they were absolutely right: with some little push he reached the maximum heights in the government and brought as much damage to the reputation of his own country, as it was possible in the short 4 year term…

  22. AND "SANTOS" IS HIDING AND STILL GETTING PAID….🇺🇸..

  23. When I hear that he tried to destroy evidence and that he told his chatroom friends to delete messages and to not cooperate with authorities – he seems quite the little anarchist. He must have lied like a son-of-a-gun to get into the Air National Guard and to acquire top security clearance. I know it's a long-shot, but make sure to check that he's not the D.C. pipe bomber. I'm not saying he is, but just check into it. I was always curious why the D.C. pipe bomber planted the bombs at both the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters. The bomber seemed not to have any loyalty to either of the two major U.S. political parties.

  24. I'm old enough to remember when the left was anti-war

  25. Most of these commenters see deepthroat as a hero because his leaks of war crimes were against their political opponents. You people are all sick.

  26. NBC = Nothing But Crap… A network of #propaganda and disinformation… Pure trash!!

  27. Who believes fake mainstream mockingbird news 🗞️

  28. Given the charges, how is bond even on the table?

  29. I had us secret security clearance for my 1st job out of college in Computer Science ….. I had to sign papers saying I understand I could get the death penalty if I disclosed and government secrets
