Pentagon Leaker Kicking Himself For Not Just Leaving Classified Documents Strewn Around His Garage

SOURCE: The Babylon Bee

DIGHTON, MA -- Military police have arrested Jack Teixeira for allegedly leaking classified documents that contained information on the war in Ukraine. Teixeira, an Air National Guardsman, is currently kicking himself for not just leaving documents strewn around an unlocked garage as the President did.

"Ugh! I'm so stupid! Why didn't I just print them out and leave them in a garage, or a vacation home, or the trunk of a Corvette?" said the distraught Teixeira while being hauled away. "What on earth was I thinking?"

In all seriousness, why would a National Guardsman have access to such information to leak to begin with?

In all seriousness, why would a National Guardsman have access to such information to leak to begin with?

Perhaps because of sloppy access controls by the Air National Guard?

I would think sloppy access controls higher than that. Some of the stuff reported to have been leaked is stuff that makes me question why anyone
outside of the Pentagon and above would have any reason to know about.

Which makes me think that the National Guard person was just the one who was chosen to take the blame - not the one who did the actual retrieval of data.

The amount of distration and show today is just... I don't have the word. It takes the term "gaslighting" to a whole new level. What's real? What's stagged to look real? What's real, but has been warped by the Narrative to look like something else?

Without reliable news sources (because we don't have that today), it's hard to know.

Hello Dale,

In all seriousness, why would a National Guardsman have access to such
information to leak to begin with?

Not to worry.
Joe will fix it.
With (or without) help from Hunter.

It was on the news tonight that because he was in IT Admin, he had some
sort of access to many documents -- not that he was supposed to read
their contents. I call that sloppy. I do not know, but some of the
documents might not have come from the Pentagon, but from elsewhere in
the Intelligence community.

You have no evidence for that claim. The evidence is contrary to your statement.

Well, that he was an IT Admin is something I had not yet heard. They do sometimes wind up with access to things they should not have otherwise. Security Admins do also and, you are right, they are trusted not to read
the contents.

It is sloppy and it is best to find a way to prevent that, if possible.

I would suggest end to end encryption (and I have heard that mentioned
on at least one news channel by a talking head). It might well be
difficult to implement in such a way as to give the multiple intended recipients ability to read, while at the same time denying read ability
to transitory points.

That would help prevent persons from decrypting them in transit, but if the offender is on the sending or receiving end it would only do so if they did
not have clearance.

Since IT and security admins often have clearance (or the keys), it might
not have helped in this case.

Several, several years ago now, there was a high-ranking (but not elected) state official whose computer was originally not locked down with a
password. Once forced to use one, he had someone else log him on each
morning because, in his mind, the computer should boot right up and be
ready without such nonsense.

The top IT person reported to this person, and he had the final say in a
lot of IT matters. :( While I doubt he had access to any serious IT data,
he did likely have all sorts of budget, and other sensitive, data readily available.

Not true. Clearance does not automatically grant access. It only
enables access if one has "need to know". The IT personnel may well have
the clearance, but could be prevented from decrypting by not having the appropriate keys.

Such ignorance and lack of concern is one of the things that makes
security difficult.

Yes, but...

Such ignorance and lack of concern is one of the things that makes
security difficult.

I think that ignorance and concern exist in enough places that they story I told, of an underling knowning their bosses PW, is also how IT personnel
wind up having the keys, whether they were originally meant to or not and especially if the persons who are supposed to have the clearance do not
know how to use the tech.
