He was assigned to the Intel Wing. |
Agree. It bugs the heck out of me when posters just generalize, conflate and make assumptions. I have no problem if this guy turns out to be a Q/MAGA conspiracy theorist of the worst type, but this is NOT what was reported. Be accurate, people! This is how you start tons of disinformation online. We already have too much of that. |
No. Snowden was a whistleblower. This guy is a cult leader. Very different aspirations and ethics. |
We don’t really know what his motives were yet. But he appears to have used cult leader tactics to operationalize a group of kids. |
| The FBI has announced that they have made an arrest. |
| I am just appalled that a random 20yr old idiot kid can have access to top secret docs that are on a rescricted list, and just print them and take them out. at this point, I am just amazed that our secrets are not spilled more often. between the secret docs found at the homes of Trump, Biden and Pence (and at least for the latter two it seems reasonable to believe that they were taken by mistake and nobody noticed) and this, I hope somebody starts looking a little more seriously who has access to what and how to keep track of things |
But before the arrest, as they were searching the house, a news helicopter saw him getting some sun on the deck, reading a book. |
I hope he serves a nice long sentence if he is indeed guilty. But, let's remember what he and others in the US have seen..... Chelsea Manning was convicted of 17 charges, sentenced to 35 years, and the sentence was commuted by Obama after 7 years. Until we start cracking down on serious breaches like this, they will continue to occur. Wannabe leakers are going to continue to leak if they think they won't be severely punished. |
Snowden was not a whistleblower. Whisitleblowers do not work with enemies of the state like Assange and then end up under the protectorate of Moscow. |
| Notice how quickly the FBI was on this, as compared to all of the allowances for Trump, who has been sharing stolen secrets with our enemies? |
| Would be very interested to know more about this guy’s background! Such an odd thing. |
You can dislike him and disagree with him and what he did as much as you want but that doesn't change what he was doing, which was whistleblowing. This guy? Not whistleblowing. |
