“Teixeira had been previously notified to focus on his own career duties and not to seek out intelligence products,” one of his superiors wrote in a memo that prosecutors included in their filing. Texeira mishandled secrets before arrest, was left in job:
Air Force officials caught Airman Jack Teixeira taking notes and conducting deep-dive searches for classified material months before he was charged with leaking a vast trove of government secrets, but did not remove him from his job, according to a Justice Department filing on Wednesday.
The new information was intended to drive home the government’s argument that Teixeira’s relentless quest for intelligence to share with online friends — which he acknowledged to be improper — makes his release a danger to national security. But it also raised troubling new questions about whether the military missed opportunities to stop or limit one of the most damaging intelligence leaks in recent history.
In their filing, prosecutors cited those trainings as evidence that Teixeira, 21, knowingly violated the law despite being “well aware of his obligations” and could not be trusted if released. In their own filing, Teixeira’s legal team, which is seeking his release on $20,000 bail, argued that he posed no risk of disclosing new intelligence and pointed to previous cases where leak suspects were not detained indefinitely.
In its new filing, the government said Teixeira had leaked intelligence on at least one more Discord server with at least 150 users, “some of whom represented that they lived in foreign countries.”
