Any comments on the material he leaked.... anyone anyone

Lock him up… he’s likely another trump terrorist

21 year old part time guardsman...like who has access to stuff like this...crazy...He needs to do a Bradley/Chelsea Manning quick...

He was wrong. With that said, Biden sent US military to Ukraine?

Wait…. Did they politely request their records? Did he lie & say he gave them back? Did he ignore a subpoena? Did he repeatedly say the documents belong to him? Did he show top secret maps to people at his beach resort? No? He didn’t do any of that? Then why arrested?🤔

💯 MAGA. traitor who & what they are. From electiondeniers to 1/6 & trump support to choosing Putin. GOP is the party of traitors. Grifters, frauds, sexualpredators, liars, MassShooting enablers, racists, entitled. The worst is traitor.

Just 2? I hope they were big ones, I've seen some of those docs and the implications to the world stage are staggering. People could die over them. I hope if there's just 2 charges that they both carry life sentences. Prick.

What sentences do those charges carry?

Teixeira is a hero. Not another American cent should go toward f’ing Ukraine.

Charged? In a day? Trump? Trump? TRUMP?

Biden runs a sloppy operation. Brought low by a group of teenagers. This is so embarrassing for Biden, his administration, our country.

I wonder if this guy has any relation to Teixeira’s Bakery in Newark, NJ? They make the best pasteis de nata this side of the Atlantic.

Guy is a hero

You falling for this shit,

MTG and many traitorous Repubs are on his side. They don’t deserve to live in America.

But they can’t find the scotus leaker? Strange

Me waiting for the President to get charged for doing the same dang thing…
