In the wake of online posts containing national secrets, the Department of Defense scrambled to identify and contain a leak. They knew it was likely one of their own, and they began to look for potential insider threats. What they found would be a shocking abuse of the trust placed in a young man they thought they knew. And if you’re thinking this is about the arrest of an Air National Guardsman on April 13th, 2023... you’d be wrong.

I used the appellate court opinion NMCCA

CAAF Appeal (1)(2), and the charge sheet, and the case study (1)(2)

And referenced information from: Syracuse.com, ABC News (1)(2), NY Post, Military News, Britannica, CBS News, the NY Times, Military.com (1)(2), Relias Media, Clearance Jobs, DC Security Clearance Consultants, Navy.com, Office of Personnel Management, and Stripes.
