United States: Secrets leak suspect arrested at home

A US national guardsman thought to be behind a series of US military document leaks has been arrested by the FBI.

Jack Teixeira, 21, is said to have overseen a private online gaming group in which the highly sensitive documents were shared.

He was due in court later on Friday.

I think they needed more armoured trucks to arrest a man in his shorts who's accused of leaking documents.

[RaRa-eumw]

That's an absurd amount of force to arrest him. They could have sent two unarmed cops around and asked him to come willingly first.

Funny how people are so quick to go after the person saying something rather than what they say.

Icon of Americans :
It's not illegal, it's freedom of Americans 😊

[ParksandPosh]

Oh so it IS possible for Americans to arrest someone without shooting them

[theirishninja]

Bet they had nukes on standby just in case he resisted

[sunboycold]

Why isn't the MSM not reporting on what he leaked ?

[angelaharris]

Gosh, I've never seen the police get someone so quickly.
How come they can't find criminals such as murderers, thieves, car thieves, rapists that quick....they do seem to go after "soft " targets🤔
Excessive use of the police imo, don't they usually say the police force is stretched, could of sent two police officers to collect him.

It is still unclear why this man had access to classified secret documents and how he was able to leak them. But in any case he must be punished to the fullest extent of the law

[RHYSCO]

This is genuinely the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while I bet he’ll be given life in prison or something

[johnreynolds]

Alas, if only he'd stored the classified documents for years in his garage next to a vintage Corvette.

I don't understand two things: why did they need so many people to arrest this one guy + was it really him who've leaked the documents. If yes then how and why? Because so far this whole story looks pretty weird. Surely the most important thing here is to punish those responsible for the security breach and to never let this happen again, but this incident is weird as hell and there are so many questions about what really happened there.

We need more people like this lad, America need to stop thinking they can hide things

[danleesmighter]

At least this nerd is more truthful than the media

[neutonikharmonix]

who did they think they were arresting? John Rambo? 😂

[thejareer]

What did he do? Leaked information? Pedophiles and rapist don’t even get this reception.

[waleedgaming]

America always with the "over the top" response to situations.

The guy leaked documents and is on a jog, what are all these units scared of xD

[rugoshath]

Smart enough to hack the Pentagon, not smart enough to hide his identity XD

[thomaspayne]

where the there to arrest The Predator?

[Thorum]

Arrested in the military district of USA.
