21-year-old Jack Teixeria was arrested by federal agents on Thursday. Teixeria, an intelligence operative with the Massachusetts Air National Guard is believed to have leaked the 100-plus-pages of Pentagon-documents.

“This is a law enforcement matter,” Brigadier General Patrick Ryder said during a Pentagon news conference on Thursday. “This was a deliberate criminal act” he added while declining to answer questions, citing the ongoing investigation.

National Review reports, “the leaked documents primarily consisted of briefing slides of operational data from the ongoing war in Ukraine. The classified material included maps of Ukrainian air defense systems and even details about South Korea’s furtive attempts to deliver hundreds-of-thousands of ammunition rounds to Ukraine.”

The New York Times  first broke news of the arrest, and examined the classified documents which revealed that China contemplated providing crucial military aid to Russia. Moreover, an earlier incident involving a Russian fighter jet targeting a British surveillance vehicle, “could have amounted to an act of war.” The leaked documents could endanger American espionage agents currently embedded within the Russian intelligence bureaucracy.

Teixeira was allegedly part of an online social-media platform called Discord, as well as led a channel known as Thug Shaker Central that “bonded over a love of guns and video games.”

“He’s fit. He’s strong. He’s armed. He’s trained. Just about everything you can expect out of some sort of crazy movie,” an anonymous member told the Washington Post on Wednesday.

Report: Beijing’s military hacked U.S. nuclear firm before Hunter Biden aided Chinese bid to acquire it

A bombshell report by Just the News explains that “U.S. officials were acutely aware that Beijing was trying to obtain America’s premiere nuclear reactor technology, including through illicit hacking, months before Hunter Biden and his business partners sought to arrange a quiet sale of an iconic U.S. reactor company to a Chinese firm, according to court records and national security experts.”

Hunter Biden attempted to assist CEFC China Energy to acquire Westinghouse, one of America’s most famous electricity and appliance brands, as well as its state-the-art AP1000 nuclear reactor.

Hunter began his work with the Chinese company in early 2016 – while Joe Biden was the sitting Vice President – memos show. According to a copy of the indictment, just 20 months earlier, his father’s Justice Department charged five members of a Chinese military hacking unit for breaching the company’s computer systems in search of intellectual property and internal strategy communications.

Just the News reports:

In May 2014, the five operatives of the People’s Liberation Army’s Unit 61398 were charged with hacking into the systems of six U.S.-based companies across different industrial sectors, including Westinghouse Electric Co., SolarWorld, United States Steel Corp., and a union. The attorney general at the time, Eric Holder, called the breach a classic case of “economic espionage.”

One operative gained access to Westinghouse’s computers in 2010 and “stole proprietary and confidential technical and design specifications related to pipes, pipe supports, and pipe routing” pertaining to the company’s advanced AP1000 nuclear reactor design, according to an indictment filed by the Department of Justice.

“Among other things, such specifications would enable a competitor to build a plant similar to the AP1000 without incurring significant research and development costs associated with designing similar pipes, pipe supports, and pipe routing systems,” the indictment reads.

Just the News notes that while there is no evidence at the moment that Hunter Biden was aware of or involved in the hacking efforts by the Chinese, documents previously released by Congress in the Biden impeachment inquiry show Hunter Biden wrote in one text message in 2017 that he believed one of the CEFC officials he worked with, Patrick Ho, was the “f—ing spy chief” of China.

Ho was later indicted in the U.S. and charged with corruption. Joe Biden’s brother James told the FBI he believed CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming had a relationship with China’s communist president.
