Shoulda become president first THEN leaked classified documents to russia. He’d be fine in that case.
No no no, see:
FBI Director Christopher Wray said that his sentence should serve as “a stark warning to all those entrusted with protecting national defense information: betray that trust, and you will be held accountable.”
They mean business! For real this time. No take backs. While supplies last. Void in some states. Not all locations participate. Some restrictions apply.
Instead it is a message to tyrants: The US is for sale, you may loot and pillage as you desire. The law cannot and will not stop you.
Isn’t that the point of capitalism?
Not only wouldn’t he see a punishment, but he’d be elected a second time to do it again!
You fool, you’re only supposed to post things like that on the Warthunder forums!
I thought I read this before, and sure enough it’s a follow up to a 2023 article
TL;DR: 21 year old national guard leaked classified documents on Discord for attention and got caught for it. Nice work.
Guy was only leaking to show off to a bunch of teenagers. Loser
To be fair, leaking government secrets is the most effective defense against momma jokes.
Your momma leaks government secrets.
governmentsecrets.pdf , Ha! Gotcha!

Yo momma’s lips are so loose, she leaks government secrets.
15 years to flex as a Discord mod. 😂
Was this a more significant leak than the Gulf oil spill? I think not.
The people responsible for that one are rich, and they can do no wrong.
In the 2000s I thought that due to more and more people being on the internet, stories like this would be very common in the future, not just for the government, but private entities too.
In reality: Most things that happen at most workplaces are not interesting enough to leak, and most people do not want to risk their careers for something like this. So it’s still relatively rare.
I love how his last name is pronounced “to share a” and he did, in abundance
I thought Stealing Documents was fine?

Publish absolutely every government document. There should be no such thing as a secret government document ever. If you don’t want it known, don’t collect it. Don’t generate it.
The production details for nuclear weapons are on a government document.
And if all records had to be public, there would have been a hell of a lot lower chance of nuclear weapons being invented. Because who would want to give that weapon to everybody else as well as themselves?
But do you want that document published now in the world we live in today?
Yes, I think so. I think absolutely everybody capable of having one, having one, should cause nobody to want to invade anybody else, etc. Because of the threat that such an action poses, and if humanity is dumb enough to wipe themselves out with nuclear weapons, then we weren’t meant to be around anyway.
And? For the average country, the difficult thing about nuclear weapons is not how to build one (pipe with two halves and a bit explosives is enough for a few kt) but to get enough Plutonium. You know, the whole thing with Israel running secret facilities with ceramic centrifuges for years. What US and China are wasting a few MW computer center each year on, is getting a bit more out of it than the competition, especially fusion weapons. Seen rationally, it’s a childish “i have the bigger
dickboom”.
Personally I dont want the government documents with my home address and phone number and tax id and voting history to be leaked, tyvm
While I disagree with OP, that kind of information isn’t classified. It’s personally identifiable information which is restricted and secured, but it’s not classified in the same sense as the person who leaked on discord.
In response to op, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to classify information that are not nefarious. For example, a diagram explaining the security systems for a building. It’s better to restrict access to that document so it is less likely for an adversary to see the details, because all that would really do is enable them to identify weaknesses which they could exploit. Generally this sort of thing is called operational security and I think it is actually the basis for the US government’s mandatory access control in the first place (e.g. “loose lips sink ships”).
Oh the FBI definitely has a lot of PII on folks that’s classified. What do you think they do??
Which is why that data should not be collected.
Wut. So the IRS says I didn’t pay my taxes. I say I already did, but they dont have records showing I did, so they insist I pay again?
You’re not thinking.
Taxation is theft and the irs along with all world governments need to be desolved
Wow, you’re really going at it on the whole “not thinking” thing. 10/10.
how does your username not have an instance after it?
Because they are on the same instance as you :)
I like having clean drinking water
Why would the government know your voting history? Isn’t voting anonymous where you live?
No idea what a tax id is but in Sweden everyone’s home address, income, phone number, “personnummer” (a unique ID assigned to every citizen), and some other stuff. And for the most part it works pretty well. I’m usually concerned about privacy but I don’t mind this because it applies to everyone equally (except a few people with protected identity for safety reasons) and it’s just so open and convenient.
I’m not saying that all government documents should be public information but here most documents are.
God I hope the government records my voting history
As someone who votes over mail, it drives me crazy that I can’t login to some website and get confirmation that they have received the vote, and what they recorded the votes as.
People deserve to be able to confirm their votes. Its a requirement for a democracy.
Vote in person then 🤷
Here it’s only possible to mail vote from abroad and I have never done it but it doesn’t appear that you get a confirmation here either.
If we are talking about registers of who voted and not for whom. Why does it matter? Who voted isn’t secret at all. So why even bring that up? For the record I voted in the most recent EU and national elections.
Cant vote in person. I live abroad
Can’t you vote at an embassy or consulate?
Nope. Believe me I tried.
You go first
I am a private citizen who has not been given power over the lives of other people. Therefore, I don’t have to.
This dude hasn’t read The Republic.
Of course, he’s right. He doesn’t have to.
Yep, everyone should know nuclear codes, inside agents in terrorist cells, where to strike to kill as many and do as much damage as possible, how to manufacture weapons and IEDs…
Should i continue? Are you fucking stupid?
