"On April 13, a group of camouflage-clad FBI agents arrested 21-year old National Guardsman Jack Teixeira at his home in Massachusetts. Teixeira was charged with leaking classified documents containing national security secrets. He faces up to 25 years in prison, and has yet to enter a plea.
From the moment of Teixeira’s arrest, reports have emerged that the invitation-only Discord server where Teixeira leaked the documents was a cesspool of racist memes, offensive jokes, and gun fetishization. But on Saturday morning, the Washington Postreleased a much more wide-ranging report on Teixeira’s extremism, drawing on previously unpublished videos, chat logs, and interviews with several of Teixeira’s friends. This new evidence, writes the Post, suggests Teixeira was “readying for what he imagined would be a violent struggle against a legion of perceived adversaries — including Blacks, political liberals, Jews, gay and transgender people.”
