Breaking Bombshell Just Dropped About Pentagon Leaker Jack Teixeira โ€“ Total Setup! (republicbrief.com)

The former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Kash Patel said on Friday that, even though Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira worked in information technology for an intelligence wing of the Air Force, he would not have been legally able to access classified information heโ€™s being accused of leaking on a Discord server.

Several other methods were described by Patel on Breitbart News as ways for Teixeira to access the information:

Patel said, first, the suspected leaker, Jack Teixeira, would not have had access to the information without someone within the Department of Defense (DOD) or the intelligence community giving it to him, providing it to him, or telling him it should be put out there. โ€œItโ€™s just not possible,โ€ he said.

โ€œYou can be the biggest IT person in DOD, and you are still compartmented off of the actual information. Almost never does an IT person need to know, as we say, the substance of the intelligence. Their job is to provide the secure informations systems around it to protect any disclosures.โ€

ABC News also published a story on Saturday, which, surprisingly,, cited defense officials who echoed the same sentiment that Teixeiraโ€™s job description does not equal โ€œneed to know.โ€

  1. Quoting again from the article:

    “Itโ€™s been suggested recently that Teixeira may not have acted alone:

    A possibility that needs to be considered is that Teixeira was given many of the documents by someone else who did have access to them, and who wanted them to be leaked.

    Considering the methodical manner in which the leaks occurred, Patel believes that possibility is very likely.”

  2. Quoting again from the article:

    “According to some, Teixeira worked on the computer systems within a SCIF, so he might have had access to these documents, and perhaps the intelligence wing he supported had the Presidentโ€™s Daily Brief and the work product of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In Patelโ€™s opinion, there is no way:

    The compartmentalization of information is in addition to the classification level and the โ€œneed to knowโ€ basis, Patel explained. While siloing information inside a corporation is bad, it plays a vital role within military intelligence.

  3. Quoting from the article:

    “Defense officials told ABC News that having a TS-SCI clearance is typical for Air Force personnel who in order to provide IT support might need access to classified spaces, computers and networks so they could do their jobs.

    But the fact that you have a clearance does not mean you have access to everything at that level. That access is based on your โ€œneed to knowโ€ the information for your job.”
