A suspect named Jack Teixeira runs the online group Thug Shaker Central, where about 20 to 30 people express their passion for guns, video games and post-racist memes.

When a Massachusetts National Guard soldier was arrested in connection with the leak of classified US documents, aerial footage showed FBI agents guiding the 21-year-old suspect into an armored car with his hands on his head.

FBI agents took extra precautions because the report showed he was a gun enthusiast, Campbell, a former FBI officer, told CNN.

According to Campbell, the next steps are to investigate the suspect’s residence, which is now considered a crime scene.

“The feds are going to be there for a long time because of course they have to determine: Are there additional classified documents in this residence? [Conform] What we’ve seen in previous cases is the feds are synchronizing their search warrants ahead of time to go in and search the place top to bottom,” he said.

According to Campbell, agents will look for any place where a computer, phone or digital files may be stored.
