BOSTON (AP) — Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guard member accused of leaking highly classified military documents on a social media platform, is expected to plead guilty in his federal case, according to court papers filed Thursday.

Prosecutors asked the judge to schedule a change of plea hearing, but no other details were immediately available. The judge set the hearing for Monday in Boston’s federal courthouse.

Teixeira had previously pleaded not guilty to six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information. Each count is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The Massachusetts U.S. attorney’s office declined further comment. An attorney for Teixeira didn’t immediately return a phone message Thursday.

What, no endless bluster about the kind of immunity he's supposed to have because he doesn't have endless amounts of money to piss away on appeals in our legal system?

You read it here first, folks: Our entire legal system is based on who has the most money and most duplicitous lawyers. As long as you can find some evil chucklefuck to hire and shit out your legal documents, you too can endlessly appeal and break down the entire fucking system because this shitty Old Boys Club doesn't fucking know how to handle someone In Their Club not Following Their Rules.

I feel like I'm taking fucking crazy pills.

I don't understand. Are you saying that this outcome is the outcome a fair legal system would produce? Or is the fair legal system the treatment the rich get?
