So the leaker was 21 year old Jack Teixeira, who lived in his mother's home and released the sensitive information through an online gaming forum. We can rule out "trying to impress girls" as a motive.
If he's going to be a public enemy, he's going to need a pseudonym; maybe something like "The Intel Incel"

When a shooting happens they speak of background checks and keeping certain people from owning guns. They speak of he posted this on social media.... The government wants to and does spy on every citizen.
Should people that work for the government handling Top Secret Documents be closely monitored?

Do you mean beyond the investigation they do every five years where they check with the neighbors and police departments of every place you've lived for the last 15 years, as well as every job and club/organization you've been with in that time? Some compartments require a full scope polygraph as well (which, if you've never been through one, is a really degrading experience ... they'll even ask about sexual habits and fantasies)

I guess what I am saying is if a regular citizen's internet usage is monitored, a person working for the government that is disclosing top secret documents on discord should be caught.
For the record I am glad he disclosed what he did and I think the government is a scumbag entity and not one word they say can be believed.
I had top secrect security access at the age of 17, I was an NCO at 19 and an asst Plt Sgt at 21 holding what today would be an E 6 slot because we had no Capt and our E6 was doing his duties, at 22 a Plt Sgt holding an E7 slot as an E6 and had 17 yr olds working for me with top secret access.

It's almost as if Democrats have double standards.

So apparently, they're gonna keep this guy locked up, not because of whatever evidence they do have against him, but because of the evidence they don't have against him.
(Oh, and also because he talked trash on the Internet.)
PROSECUTION UNABLE TO LOCATE KEY EVIDENCE IN TEIXEIRA’S CASE, JUDGE ORDERS ALLEGED DISCORD LEAKER REMAIN IN JAIL

A federal judge denied Massachusetts Airman Jack Teixeira’s motion to be released while he waits for his trial to begin. Teixeira is accused of leaking classified documents on Discord that undermine the narrative put forward by the US government that the war in Ukraine was going well. The judge explained the authorities have been unable to find Teixeira’s hard drive, cell phone, or any of the documents he is accused of leaking.
In April, highly classified documents began circulating online showing war plans, Western troop deployments in Ukraine, casualty estimates, and a bleak prognosis for Kiev’s war effort. Other documents were embarrassing to Washington, such as the revelation that the White House was spying on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Initially, mainstream outlets speculated the documents were released by the Kremlin as pro-Russian propaganda. However, the New York Times outed Teixeira as the leaker, and he was subsequently arrested by the FBI.
The government has indicted Teixeira with six violations of the Espionage Act, each charge carries a ten-year maximum sentence. The airman has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Last week, Teixeira and his legal team appeared in court before Judge Indira Talwani. They were hoping the 21-year-old would be released into the custody of his father as he waits for his trial to begin.
Talwani denied Teixeira’s request while noting there were factors that “weigh in favor of release.” However, the judge said she sided with the prosecution “that Teixeira poses a risk of obstructing justice” if he was released.
“The circumstances of the offense leave open the possibility of further harm because some of the classified information at issue has not yet been recovered,” Talwani wrote. “The government has not found any of the physical documents Teixeira allegedly printed, nor has it located the hard drive from Teixeira’s home computer, or the digital copies of documents Teixeira may have stored electronically and then posted online. In the wrong hands, the information and documents that the government has not recovered could do great harm to the community by threatening national security.”
The judge also raised issues with comments Teixeira made online and his interest in firearms. “Teixeira’s social media messages display both an affinity for violence and vitriol for certain classes of people,” she added. The airman’s lawyers say the posts were made “primarily among teenagers” on a forum dedicated to war and combat-based video games.
One of the documents Teixeria is alleged to have released shows the US intelligence community believed Ukraine would fall “well short” of its goals to retake territory. Top White House officials, such as Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the assessment was incorrect, and the Joe Biden administration pushed Ukraine to launch the counteroffensive in early June.
As the leaked intelligence assessment predicted, Ukraine has only made small gains on the battlefield. Washington demanded Kiev employ tactics that involved taking high casualties.

Probably being held naked on a cold cement floor right now like Bradley Manning was. Will he emerge in 5 years calling himself Jackie Teixeira?

Jack Teixeira Pleads Guilty for Leaking Pentagon Documents, Faces Up To 16 Years in Prison
The Discord leaks revealed the US was lying about Ukraine's chances of success in last year's counteroffensive
https://news.antiwar.com/2024/03/04...gon-documents-faces-up-to-16-years-in-prison/
{Dave Decamp | 04 March 2024}
Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeria pleaded guilty on Monday for leaking Pentagon documents to Discord that surfaced in the media last year and revealed US government lies about the Ukraine proxy war.
With his guilty plea, Teixeria agreed to a deal that will see him serve a harsh sentence of between 11 and 16 years in prison. The final sentence will be decided by a federal judge in September.
After the guilty plea, Teixeria’s family issued a statement that said he had “taken responsibility” for his part in the leaks. The statement also pointed to an investigation by the Air Force Inspector General on 102nd Intelligence Wing that Teixera worked in.
The statement said the “lackadaisical work atmosphere, lack of adequate training and oversight, combined with a complete disregard for policy or procedure ‘directly and indirectly’ contributed to what happened.” After the Air Force investigation, the commanding officer of the 102nd Intelligence Wing was removed from his post, and 14 other members of the Air National Guard were disciplined for the leaks.
Teixeria was initially named as the leaker by The New York Times, which conducted an investigation with Bellingcat to identify him. He shared the classified documents with his friends on a private Discord server that had about 25 members, a group of young men and teenage boys. According to The Washington Post, there were 300 photos of documents he shared, but many were buried by the mainstream outlets that obtained them.
Some of the most significant revelations of the Discord leaks include the fact that the US did not think Ukraine would succeed in its 2023 counteroffensive but pushed for it anyway. A document also confirmed there were NATO special operations forces inside Ukraine. As of March 2023, 97 NATO soldiers, including 14 Americans, were in the country.
The documents also revealed the US was spying on the UN secretary-general and some close US allies. The leaks were a huge embarrassment for the US government and prompted the White House to warn media outlets not to report on them.
