They found this guy but the leaker of the Roe vs Wade Supreme court document was never found.

To keep PENTAGON DOCUMENTS secure, they should be kept in JOE BIDENS GARAGE

This is my reaction. 😂😂. We need more of these kids. The dictatorship of the few need to be reeled in. Corrupt corporations and governments need to pay for the disaster they have created.

I've never seen a story about a leak of classified information covered so deeply, and broadly, and uniformly with so many specifics laid out in full context without any confusion or questions about the details by the corporate media. It's almost like this story was tailor made for our times, isn't it? Fascinating.

I find it very difficult to believe that a 21 year old guardsman would have access to all of this top secured information

[wordscapes]

If I knew I was going to be arrested, I'd certainly have dressed better.

in the world of lies, truth is treason. or something to that effect

[kilroy]

He looks like he might be dangerous you probably should have had an attack helicopter or a tank there

[blancagutierrez]

I want to thank the kid for clearly proving to us how weak ours system is . He deserve a medal .

[powerjoke]

Can’t figure out who killed epestein or release the list

[lmccahill]

As an unwilling resident of the meth lab I am sorry for the embarrassing activities that never seem to stop.

'OG' stands for 'Original Gangster' 😅

[Mortimare]

He should be heralded as a hero. Showing the world the truth about Russia and what America is really doing in Ukraine.

[blueengineer]

There probably gonna make him disappear for this cuz something tells me leaking info from the pentagon is a massive no no

[kevinhurley]

Props to this fellow who will probably never see the light of day again

[flightographist]

It's almost as if they believe the majority of the polity will follow the misdirection...

[asakurayoh]

Why they need 6 armed FBI agents and an armoured truck to capture a 21 yr old?

[onyourcoffeebreak]

Why did they talk to his mom first? He got that job based on connection.

[crenaud]

It is outrageous that a Whistleblower's arrest seems to be more important than the information gleaned from the documents that people have a right to know. These whistleblowers are doing the job, the media is supposed to do.

OMG this is embarrassing and frightening
