The Massachusetts Air National Guard member accused of leaking classified government documents he accessed at his military intelligence job had previously been "admonished" by his superiors for taking notes on top secret information, federal prosecutors disclosed in a new court filing.
Jack Teixeira was arrested in April and is facing multiple charges under the Espionage Act. Prosecutors allege he shared notes and images of government secrets related to the war in Ukraine and U.S. spycraft on the social media platform Discord.

..."Defense attorneys argue Teixeira should be released to the custody of his father, with the condition that he not access the internet or any weapons. In a recent court filing, they pointed to nine other Espionage Act cases in recent years when defendants were released on bond pending trial.
Another detention hearing is scheduled for Friday in Worcester. A judge is expected to make a decision then on whether Teixeira will be released.
Teixeira has not yet been indicted or entered a plea. He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted."...

The quality of people given roles in securing secrets has always been an issue. Someone always wants to make a buck. This guy was just stupidly sharing info to boost his ego. Didn't make a dime and will be in prison for the rest of his life.
