How Did A 21-Year-Old Air National Guardsman Recruit Have Access To So Many Pentagon Military Secrets?

El Pais: How could a simple recruit have access to so many Pentagon military secrets?  

The U.S. Department of Defense is reviewing the lists of people with permission to see sensitive information after the leak attributed to the young Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira 

How is it possible that a 21-year-old recruit had access to classified military information that was reserved, in theory, only for the highest command? And how is it possible that he was able to copy and distribute those documents for months without the Pentagon noticing? These are some of the questions raised by the arrest of Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, who is suspected of being behind the largest — and most embarrassing — leak of official secrets in the US since WikiLeaks in 2010. To answer these questions, it is necessary to revisit the attacks of September 11, 2001. 

Teixeira joined the National Guard, an auxiliary military corps whose main mission is to defend the United States in the event of war, immediately after graduating from high school three years ago. Following a background check, required for entry into jobs related to national security, he received clearance for access to high-level classified information. His assignment to an intelligence unit, in which he had to ensure that communications flowed properly as an information technology specialist responsible for military communications networks, gave him access to restricted areas.

Plenty of speculation that the kid is just a fall guy. The US has a serious problem on its hands when it comes to intel and state secrets. The decay and collapse of the western empire continues.

Colonel Vindmann leaked secret information.

But he did it to further the interests of the stronger political party.

Airman Patsy was an IT geek. His sole function was to restart Milley's PowerPoint when it crashed in the SCIF. And bring coffee while he's at it.

He obviously read the displayed information carefully - then bragged online to his clatch of teen incels about great secret knowledge of gov't goings on.

He is royally f'd. 15 years in the can. whether he had "help" or not.

SOunds like your typical FBI sting. That's why they got the collar.
