    Shoulda become president first THEN leaked classified documents to russia. He’d be fine in that case.

    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.

        No idea why they worded the article that way. The person going to prison is the person who leaked the documents and was also the admin of the discord server they leaked it to.

          Thank you for confirming. I don’t click articles on socials due to tracking but that’s my understanding also.

          So the wording is FUD as I suspected…

          His crime is posting classified info as insider and he can’t even pretend to be a whistleblower.

          Either way, folks take note! This is how modern propaganda works. Subtle and you have to know facts before hand in order not to fall for it

            This is how modern propaganda works.

            maybe it is modern propaganda, maybe the author is just incompetent moron trying to get as much clicks as possible 😔

            Discord servers are restricted ring-fenced sections of the internet. They are often used by gaming groups and communities as secure chat rooms but are also used by fringe organisations to push their ideologies and discuss wild conspiracy theories and plots.

              Who ever wrote that have superficial understanding of how these services operate…

              They should not be writing on the topic if they don’t properly researched the topic.

              They at best an idiot, but likely just a useful idiot for the people in charge.

              Where is the editorial quality?

              🤡

        first of all, admin of some random discord server is something else than discord admin, but that wouldn’t give such nice tabloid headline…

    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.
