A True Hero. Remember her name, Reality Winner.
Justice For Reality.
If you’re interested in learning more, Intercepted did a podcast abt her here. She got arrested some 5 minutes after they posted something leaked anonymously, and due to the case being filed under the Espionage Act, she’s not allowed to even really present her case to a jury in any meaningful way. It’s fucked and needs to be talked about more
Reminder that she was only caught because the Intercept outed her either through genuine incompetence or deliberate malfeasance and it should rarely be trusted as an objective news organization for a whole bunch of other reasons.
Yeah the printer dots thing was absolutely spectacularly incompetent on their part, but that doesn’t change the atrocious precedent her detainment is setting. Often they can skew liberal and don’t always have the best analysis/pick of writers, but i don’t know of anything in particular that would paint them as especially untrustworthy?
Well, here’s some info about her as of today:
Winner, the 26-year-old former National Security Agency contractor accused of leaking a top-secret government report about Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, is scheduled to face trial on Oct. 15. Her case has attracted international attention, as she is the first person to be prosecuted by the Trump administration on allegations of leaking.
The former Air Force linguist has garnered impassioned support from the left and rebuke from the right.
Winner has pleaded not guilty. She is being prosecuted under the Espionage Act and faces 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
