Twenty five year old Reality Winner served in the Air Force for six years as a linguist, and then she went to work for a federal contractor connected with the n s A. In May, a day after she started the new job, she's accused of using her top secret clearance to download an n s A analysis of Russian attempts to influence the election. She mailed it to a left wing online publication called The Intercept. She was arrested.
She was charged with violating the Federal Espionage Act. This week, she was denied bond for the second time by US Magistrate Court Judge Brian Epps. The judge found that Reality Winner acted with premeditation. Before leaving the Air Force, she had researched what could happen if a thumb drive was inserted into a top secret computer and how to anonymously
send information to drive by media outlets. Judge Epps also found that Reality Winner wasn't joking as she claimed she was when she expressed hatred for America, including wanting to burn the White House down. She was not kidding. He ruled that she presents an ongoing threat to national security and is a flight risk now under Obama leakers could simply ask for a government paid sex change operation. Now, the left wing public relations campaign got on a federal
prison with a pardon h Bradley Manning. But times have changed, so for now Reality Winner will stay put in a secure lock up until her trial. Sometimes, folks, reality bites and it can hurt, you know, if it's in the wrong place.
