She should not have had access to the report as an Arab linguist. I wasn’t aware that expertise in Farsi/Pashto/Dari extended to keywords on Russia. Clearance is not universal access.

Her “Friends” are doing all they can for her at her page, but they’re urinating into a storm, and getting slammed by America-loving posters.

Surprised it’s still up. Big Media must be watching closely.

It’s so easy to spot these people. They all seem to wear the same kind of shoes.

When she goes to prison she will fit right in, because everybody there wears the same shoes too!

I agree. A rock solid IT prevents breaches and you mean to tell me she got this far down the chain until caught?

Yes, but she would have lost it when she was discharged. An employer would have had to have applied for a new BI.

When I retired, I carried my TS with me to my new job with a defense contractor. I don't know what my employer had to do, but I had the clearance on day one of my new job.

Winner enlisted in the service in 2013, serving as an airman first class with the 94th Intelligence Squadron at Fort Meade, Maryland, until earlier this year when she separated.

If she served 4 full years and left the service as an A1C (E3), then there is a problem.

The narrative is already being pushed out.... "Her arrest proves that the leaks about Russian interference are all based on REAL intel"

So i'm wondering as i consume the news over the past day... is the intel real or fake [intended to draw out a leaker]?

There are details that are not so conforming to expected.

Why this leaker?
Why did she give up, confess, etc and no libtard lawyers or Gore or Gloria allred, maxine waters or anyone defending her?
Why this leak?
Why this recently?

Something else is going on and this is just a piece of it IMO. This isn't a full picture.

I don’t care who’s side they are on. Our side, their side, someone else’s side. If you leak classified info that endangers the citizens of this Republic, the folks in the military, our elected officials, the Republic itself, then I say put your nasty butt up against the wall and fire away. If you leak to the enemy, then in my book, YOU ARE THE ENEMY!!! Simple as that. Spies were executed during the wars. If you were caught spying, you got whacked. So, if you give info to the enemy, and I consider the stinking media to be part of the enemy, because they give the info to the enemies of the republic, then whack em. Whack em hard. Don’t screw around getting to it. Just whack em.

At least CNN has posted the story - although hardly in a prominent way - but I still haven’t seen any mention on Fox.

“I don’t know what my employer had to do, but I had the clearance on day one of my new job.”

Unless things have gone to the dogs, they had to ask for a new BI.

Or maybe it’s deep state trying to set up Trump. Notice the supposed subject of the document.

Nope. My clearance was current. It followed me to civil service two years later too. I'm doing my 10 year BI now.

What do the terms “active,” “current,” and “expired” mean?

People either have a clearance or they don’t have a clearance. The Personnel Security Investigation (PSI) on which the clearance is based can be either “current” or “expired.” PSIs are current if they are not more than five years old for a Top Secret clearance, 10 years old for a Secret clearance, or 15 years old for a Confidential clearance. Generally, if the PSI is out-of-date (expired) or there has been a break-in-service of two years or more, a person must be nominated for a new clearance, complete a new application, and undergo a new PSI. People commonly use the terms “active,” “current,” and “expired” to mean:

Active—a clearance that has not been terminated.
Current—a terminated clearance that is still eligible for reinstatement.
Expired—a terminated clearance that is no longer eligible for reinstatement.

Can a clearance be reinstated after it has been terminated?
Yes. If a person previously had a clearance and the investigation is still current, the clearance can be reinstated by the agency that originally granted the clearance or it can be accepted and reciprocally granted by a different agency, provided there hasn’t been a break-in-service of two years or more. This can be done without the individual submitting a new SF86; however, for clearances involving special access authorizations a new SF86 can be required if there has been a break-in-access of more than 60 days or if a polygraph examination is required.

Julian Assange tweets his support of Reality Winner? For her courage and for being a whistleblower? Lol

The Intel is clearly fake... but we don't know if it was intended to draw out the leaker or to damage Trump.
