I think it's bad whatever reason he did it
the true story of two young American men, Christopher Boyce (Timothy Hutton) and Andrew Daulton Lee (Sean Penn), who sold US security secrets to the Soviet Union.
gets a job at a civilian defense contractor working in the so-called "Black Vault," a secure communication facility through which flows information on some of the most classified U.S. operations in the world.

father was in the FBI. It contradicted the narrative he'd grown up with that he was in the land of the good guys on the world stage.
According to the movie he decided that he had a moral obligation to act and naively assumed/hoped that giving these secrets to the USSR would perhaps bring US' misdeeds to light and course correct the dark path his country was on.
I say 'naively' because of course he was destined to discover that the USSR was no different to the US.
Jack Teixeira’s stepfather Tom Dufault and stepbrother Alex Dufault also worked at Joint Base Cape Cod, according to Teixeira’s step-uncle James Dufault.
Teixeira’s stepfather, Thomas Dufault, retired after a 34-year military career as a master sergeant from the same unit, the 102nd Intelligence Wing, in a 2019 ceremony at Joint Base Cape Cod, according to public records and photos posted online by the Defense Department.

Yeah sure, an enlisted e-3 weekend warrior has access to those classified information at will.
An active duty junior officer would be more believable.
This is a joke.

Nah doubtful. MTG has already tweeted multiple times, implying the guy did no wrong, only that he is hated because he is white, Christian and male. Whining that he's being treated like a traitor and the enemy
Soon others will be parroting her implication that espionage is not really a bad thing. Should she really be on the Homeland Security Committee? I think it's bad whatever reason he did it, no matter what his pronouns are.

Was it Discord they were originally leaked to?
Because I'm curious, because I know I read it on some other thread here, that they were originally leaked over 6 months ago? But apparently they weren't getting a lot of attention.
Then they were moved to some gaming sites?
The whole thing seems fishy.

I choose to believe everything isn't a show. Yes, as of now, I can buy he had access to sensitive intel and chose to throw away his military career to play Internet legend. He was an E3. E3's can view "Top Secret" documents if needed for their job. If your MOS is intelligence anything you're coming out of tech school with at least a secret clearance.
For now, I choose to believe the story and give benefit of the doubt that his did have access to such information.
Sometimes even working with classified things requires indirect clearance to know about it.
Back to my Dad. Later in life, he worked for Raytheon as a material handler. Had one of the highest clearances ar that site because he needed to see every program when they needed something moved. He got to see all their project displays. He has seen Raytheon weapons systems by picking up things for them that he says will not be declassified until long after he's dead. They trusted him to handle the material and not talk about those displays. No connection to the program, yet got to know about it.

Instead, according to at least one of his internet companions, he used his trusted access to his nation's confidential assets,
