The leak caught national intelligence officials by surprise and led to an embarrassing Air Force Inspector General investigation.
An inspector general investigation conducted after the arrest found that the Air Force had missed or failed to react to a number of signs that Teixeira was improperly using his security clearance. On several occasions members of his unit reported Teixeira for viewing information he didn’t need, but the complaints weren’t properly documented or acted upon even after supervisors had ordered him to stop doing intelligence “deep dives,” according to the investigation report.
“Three individuals in A1C Teixeira’s supervisory chain had information about as many as four separate instances of security incidents and potential insider threat indicators they were required to report,” the inspector general concluded. “Had any of these three members come forward and properly disclosed the information they held at the time of the incidents, the length and depth of the unauthorized disclosures may have been reduced by several months.”
Cool so how long for Trump?
Gotta admit: seeing this headline made me go “which one?”
frankly surprised he didn’t get more considering the breadth and depth of the leaks. sure, he was just some dumb kid, but your security clearance comes with very clear warnings, and they need the classified workforce to see that there are real consequences to breeches.
15 years seems plenty to serve as a deterrent to me?
YMMV. we let the fucking president skate on stealing nuclear info so why bother
Shoulda ran for President.
