21-Year-Old Air National Guard Twink Arrested For Leaking Classified Pentagon Documents

Jack Teixeira (no relation to BelAmi’s Mario Texeira!), a 21-year-old air national guardsman from Massachusetts, was arrested today for leaking classified Pentagon documents, which included hundreds of pages of intelligence on Russian efforts in Ukraine and spying on U.S. allies, amongst other things. The FBI took Teixeira into custody without incident at his home:

Why a 21-year-old (from the Massachusetts air national guard, so I doubt he ever even stepped foot in the actual Pentagon) has access to classified military documents is beyond me, but I suppose it speaks to the incompetence of the U.S. government in general. Also, given all the illegal wars, regime changes, and coups we’ve launched over the years (Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Nicaragua, etc.), it’s fun to see a little American twink doing something so nefarious against the United States, although he should’ve known he wasn’t going to get away with it. Via NBC:

Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, was arrested by federal authorities on Thursday in connection with their investigation into classified documents that were leaked on the internet.

FBI agents arrested Teixeira at a residence in North Dighton, Mass., the bureau’s office in Boston said in a statement. The residence is more than an hour away from the military base where he worked.

Military records show that Teixeira holds the rank of airman first class and has been in uniform since entering the Air National Guard in September 2019. He has been based at Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod and holds the title of cyber transport systems journeyman.
