The big leak of Ukraine-related intelligence was due to an Air National Guard airman, the NYT says. He somehow had access to intelligence briefings he should not have. He shared them with a small group of friends, and then one of the friends shared some of them publicly. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/13/w...f3a7835b4f4b72

The office I retired from had the main John Walker vault in it. I have had a Secret and or TS/SCI clearance since I was 19. I hope they hammer these fucks.

Latest bit of reporting in the WP says he got access to the stuff by being an IT tech in the office. And he's said to have smuggled the stuff out as hardcopy, then retyped it to post, or posted photos. I think his whole chain of command should be in big trouble. Lax lax lax.

To me, it seems like a convenient leak. It is an "off-ramp" leak.

If it's an intentional convenience, they apparently started setting it up a long time ago....

As it would to a Putin apologist.

Seems to be official now. The Pentagon leaks are linked to an American anti government, pro gun extremist, holding racist and antisemitic views (and who worked at military base & had clearance).

Pentagon leaks linked to young gun enthusiast who worked at military base – report
Man known online as ‘OG’ is said to have access to large amounts of classified material and to regard intelligence services as repressive

Would be wise to keep anyone who voted for ANY MAGA Repube from ever getting anything close to a security clearance. They're all lunatics.

I have not seen the 'had clearance' part reported. I'd be surprised if he had clearance for everything he apparently stole.

On edit, the Guardian story says 'had access,' which is different from 'had clearance.' May or may not have had the latter.
