Wondering how much money he made. This should be automatic sentence. Hanging or life. There seams to be alot of Americans selling out America. We have to have swift and real conscience for their actions. Needs to start yesterday.

20, 21 years old and has a security clearance? Are you kidding me! Just because his Dad served in the same Unit? Did it to impress others? Too immature for the position.

21 and the rest of his days, if justice is done, will be behind bars. Worse, it’s his parents who did it to him and they’ll roam free thinking they were good parents.

If the media likes what is being leaked it focuses on the contents of the leak. If the media doesn't like what is being leaked it focuses on the leaker. CK

Maybe he found the classified docs in Joe Biden’s garage?

Good, arraign his ass the extradition to DC for trial and finally his new home in Colorado at ADX. Good riddance!

Who's gonna cover the things he leaked I wonder

Lock him up! Traitor.

May he spend the next 20 or 30 years in prison.

Of course The DOJ is going to pick a liberal court

If you leaks information that proves the government is lying through its teeth, you should not be able to go to jail. Get US troops out of Ukraine.

Why do all the whistleblowers show our government is corrupt to the core?

FBI arrests Massachusetts airman Jack Teixeira in leaked documents probeFederal law enforcement officials arrested a 21-year-old Massachusetts man in connection to the probe into leaking of secret defense and intelligence documents that have circulated online for weeks, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday. How does 21 yr old get access so easily to sensitive data? If he announces his plans to transition now he should only spend 7 years in prison before having it commuted Thank goodness this “crime” happened during daylight hours. Otherwise the FBI & Merrill Garland would be bumping into each other like Keystone Cops. They should be grateful to the washingtonpost for jumpstarting this or they’d still be fumbling looking for the light switch.
