Taylor-Greene Likes DOD Leaker: Liz Cheney Says She Should Lose Her Clearance

Most People Side with Liz Cheney

(House should pull Taylor Greene's clearance)

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is a total un-American lunatic and above all else, she is simply crazy as seen in this SALON.com article with this headline:

“MTG defends alleged Pentagon leaker: He was arrested for being white, male, Christian, and antiwar”

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Thursday defended Jack Teixeria, a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified intelligence documents about the war between Russia and Ukraine.

The FBI arrested the 21-year-old in North Dighton, MA on Thursday, alleging that he posted the confidential material to an online “Discord gaming chat group” called “Thug Shaker Central” in early March.

The New York Times reported that the small online community consisted of “mostly young men and teenagers, came together over a shared love of guns, racist online memes, and video games.”

The New Republic reported that the documents were verified as legitimate, “though some had been altered before being shared online.” The secret papers included information pertaining to Russian and Ukrainian strategies, as well as further Intel on Canada, China, Israel, South Korea, the Indo-Pacific military theater, and the Middle East.

Per the Washington Post, the documents also detailed “how the U.S. spies on adversaries and allies.”

Mere hours after Teixeria (age 21) was apprehended, Greene took to Twitter to sharply criticize the arrest, claiming: “Because the guardsman is white, male, Christian, and antiwar he was automatically an enemy to the Biden regime. And he told the truth about troops being on the ground in Ukraine and a lot more. Ask yourself who is the real enemy? A young low-level national guardsmen? Or the administration that is waging war in Ukraine, a non-NATO nation, against nuclear Russia without war powers?”

Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich refuted Greene's claim tweeting: “U.S. troops are not fighting in Ukraine. NSC's John Kirby tells Fox there is a small military presence at the Embassy in conjunction with the Defense Attaché's office working on accountability of material - not providing battlefield support.”

Greene wasn't the only member of the GOP to condemn the arrest.

Donald Trump Jr. on his podcast compared Teixiera to Julian Assange and Eric (real name is Edward NOT Eric Snowden dumb ass), other figures known widely for leaking federal secrets claiming: “Maybe it's just the U.S. government is a bad actor. If there is indeed U.S. presence in Ukraine, Teixeira could potentially help avert World War III. Are we on the brink of going in because elected officials aren't telling the American public exactly what's going on? I used to think they're the villains. I'm like, I don't know, maybe they're actually heroes.”

(Note for Trump Jr: Not a hero; a traitor).

Though it remains unclear how Teixeria was able to obtain access to the classified documents, an anonymous U.S. official told The Washington Post that he may have been able to do so by performing support service for active-duty units, including intelligence support. 

Noteworthy: CNN's Jake Tapper tweeted that according to House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH), the charges will likely reveal Teixeira “betrayed his country.”

My 2 Cents: Actually I agree with former Rep. and January 6 vice chair, Liz Cheney (R-WY) who says it best and I totally agree with her about Taylor Greene’s stance on the intel leaker just taken into custody as seen in this NBC News story from Cheney with thi: “Liz Cheney says Greene should lose security clearance for defending suspect in Pentagon docs leak”

(Story sub-headline: Former Rep. Cheney criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for her tweets defending the alleged leaker of hundreds of pages of classified U.S. intelligence).
