Reality Winner, convicted of espionage, says she’s “not a traitor”

| December 9, 2021

Reality Winner (that’s her real birth name) did not live up to her father’s hope to be “a real winner” when she leaked top secret documents from her position as a NSA intel specialist. The Air Force linguist veteran recently gave an interview to 60 Minutes where she professed that she only violated the sacred trust placed in her by the American people on behalf of the American people. She professes that despite pleading guilty to federal espionage charges and serving for years in prison that she is not a traitor and “acted out of love for what this country stands for.” She and I have different views on what love of country means. Because it’s Christmastime, I’ll let James Caan in Elf talk;

CBS News reports on the interview;

Reality Winner, a former NSA contractor, tells Scott Pelley she leaked classified documents to the media to honor her pledge of service to the American people. Winner, who also served six years in the U.S. Air Force, spoke to Scott Pelley in her first television interview since being released from prison. She spent more than four years behind bars, the longest sentence ever served by a civilian accused of leaking information to the media.

Winner was arrested in June 2017 after sending a top-secret National Security Agency report about Russian government hacking of the 2016 election to a news organization.

She was the first leaker charged by the Trump administration’s Justice Department which used the Espionage Act to prosecute her. Winner pleaded guilty in 2018 and just recently completed her sentence. Under the terms of her plea agreement, she’s still not allowed to talk about the document she leaked or any of the top secret work she did while in the Air Force and as an NSA contractor. During Winner’s stint in the Air Force, she was awarded a commendation medal for “600 enemies killed in action.”

As to that latter claim, apparently she never left Ft Meade.

We met 30-year-old Reality Winner, at home in Texas, after four years behind bars. ‘Espionage’ seemed surprising for a woman who joined the Air Force at 19 and won the Air Force Commendation Medal, in 2016, for “600 enemies killed in action.” She did that as a linguist in a combat unit fighting secret missions.

But her duty station was 7,000 miles away from those countries, at Fort Meade, Maryland.

This second report goes into more detail on her thought processes (or lack thereof). In 2017, at the height of the Russia Collusion Hoax, she heard the Orange Man give an interview in which he said the 2016 election tinkering attempts could have been China or someone else in addition to (or in place of) Russia. She’d seen top secret reports that identified Russia, which is what was widely and repeatedly reported on in the media and by countless members of Congress. I don’t know why she felt the need to break her oath and federal law to confirm that.

WINNAR, WINNAR, BIG CHICKEN DINNER!!!
Too bad she’s not getting a BCD but whatever, she’s BONED…and not in a nice way.

I see lots of greasy burgers in her future.

She will never do anything that requires a security clearance again.

Fyrfighter

Under the Brandon regime, I wouldn’t bet on that.

RGR 4-78

I figure she has already served her useful idiot chance. She is of no further use to them.

If only she were “trans” and could be pardoned because LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ rights or something…

Mustang Major

Funny she got “boned” (and deservedly), yet the NSA brass leaked Russia/Trump collusion info 24/7 and ended up drawing a hefty government check.

USMC Steve

Keep in mind that classified information is almost always factual, not made up stuff. The crap that NSA leaked was not real factual info, but crap they made up and tried to pass off as real. That would fall under a disinformation campaign.

I see that she’s still a clueless spoiled little BRAT as well, now she gets to enjoy life as a convicted felon!

So wow, I am super impressed with this Secret Squirrel. She actually won a Commendation Medal, and killed 600 enemies. All from Sanctuary. She probably had to win it, and it was only a Commendation because she wasn’t present in the theater of war.

The rest of us got our participation medals because we had to fly on a plane for a few hours.
Glad I didn’t feel the need to show my buddies what I did, like her…if I still had buddies.

“600 enemies killed in action.”

I bet all she killed was shots of tequila at Cancun Cantina.

Prison wine.

Maybe she can score a job as assistant trailer park supervisor for $4600/yr too!

I get that there was a supposed imperative to disclose. She should have hired a lawyer (sic) and worked a whistleblower request if it was truly necessary.

But good thing she highlighted the ill-security in the 2016 election that stole the crown away from the “would have been the best president ever!”, Hillary Rodham Clinton so TPTB could ‘fortify’ the 2020 away from that dangerous orange man!!!!!

Glenn Greenwold still in exile?

Roh-Dog

damnit. ^lawer^

Geez, the Air Force and the Army have significantly different qualifications for an achievement medal. I didn’t do anything particularly notable and received 3 AAMs. Basically, I showed up sober at the proper time and place in the correct uniform. She killed 600 people. Not even Hathcock can claim that.

Sapper3307

So that’s 200 kills per AAM?

And the reporter said it with such admiration , let that sink in folks, 600 killed enemy all from Ft Meade and most of the communist that were tuned it bought that shit, hook, line and fuckin sinker !! The real reason she copied the document (with her own CaC) 😂😂😂 and mailed it was her belief the Russians rigged the election for the Orange Man Bad…so disappointed that Hillary lost …mailed a worthless document, that would of been released anyway that got her lock up …what a dumbass!! I seen girls like here back in the day, easy tricked into just about anything and I mean anything 😂😂

Loser.

I see her becoming Hitlery’s new chew toy in the future…Hil going from A Weiner to a Real Winner…And no, I don’t that IDC SARC would hit that. Even he draws a line…somewhere.

Skrunt!

Mach flow

Here’s an idea for her…did you see how much she blew up while locked up in the 60 min story? We’ll she starting to blow up again since her release, she mentioned she did a lot of drugs in prison, so if someone can trick her into a meth diet and get her to drop a little weight, they can produce a “woke” porn where she takes on multiple BLM ‘rs and Anqueefa . It may be her last chance for any real income, she already has the permanent unemployed land whale pink hairdo, so ever popular amongst todays communist!!

Welfare, trailer park and blaming “the system” in her future.

Fyrfighter

Not to mention the issues with our prison system when it’s so easy to get drugs in…

I like you! Shut up and take my money!

I’ll grunge that… so long as I can wear a mask (trust me and my buddy whiskey. We’ve done worse).

Assuming she began her linguist studies at DLIFLC, she joins a distinguished group of notoriety that includes Bradley Manning and Lee Harvey Oswald.

California makes crazies.

Still, Monterey is beautiful and I highly recommend the PCS if you get the chance. Academically, the most challenging thing I’ve ever done.

Jussie is guilty!

If he had been beat like he said he was beat and kicked, he would have spent a month or two in an ICU.

Yeah I just read that too, the only place I can find any sympathy for him at all is somewhere in a dictionary between “shit” and “syphilis”.

I honestly hope that PoS does more than a year, but I’m not holding my breath.

I will continue to support her in her efforts to overthrow Capitalism and may us subservient to our Great Chinese overlords!

I will continue to support gravity dragging your efforts under the water to Poseidon’s Deep.

Her, Snowden, etc. etc…… the list goes on and on.

Apparently anyone that’s willing to screw the Country and National Security can get a job there.

Six hundred killed from Ft. Meade? Might be something to the story. I head a ruckus onetime while pushing a cart through the commissary.
