On Monday, a Texas civil rights attorney launched a clemency petition for National Security Agency whistleblower Reality Winner in Dallas.
The attorney, Alison Grinter, encountered Winner through Crystal Mason, a Texas mother who served time alongside Winner in a Fort Worth federal prison after receiving a five-year sentence for illegal voting in the 2016 presidential election. Mason and Winner became friends in the facilitys newsroom, where they spent long hours watching TV news and debating current events.
After hearing about Winner from Mason, Grinter began corresponding with the whistleblowers mother, Billie Winner-Davis, on Twitter. Last year, the two women drove hours across the state of Texas Winner-Davis up from the panhandle, and Grinter down from Dallas to meet at an Austin restaurant, where they spoke late into the night.
It was incredible talking to her, Winner-Davis said of Grinter, because she had the same dream and vision that I had and the kind of passionate energy about it.
Grinter pulled together a petition signed by Winner and delivered to the Trump administrations Office of the Pardon Attorney that invokes the whistleblowers military service; her health conditions and inadequate treatment behind bars; and the circumstances of her case. Winner, who was reported to have leaked an NSA document detailing attempted Russian cyberattacks against U.S. election systems, is serving the longest federal sentence ever given to a journalistic source under the Espionage Act, World War I-era legislation increasingly used in recent years to prosecute government insiders who share classified information with journalists.

He always wanted to have a 'Real Winner' so he named her Reality Leigh Winner.
Youre forgetting the really delicious part: the quotes about being blond and cute were in a jail telephone call with, if I remember, her mom, telling how she was going to win over the jury. Everyone touts how smart she is, but the genius didnt know that jail phone calls are RECORDED . Kinda preempted her own trial strategy, the brainiac did. BTW, she really is blond. The other part is just what her parents always told her. Fin prog moron.
“Reality Winner? Sounds like more like a racehorse than a spy.”
Also has a kind of porny vibe to it.

Thanks for filling in the details. Now I know I wasn’t imagining the whole thing. The fact that “the genius” got busted on a jailhouse phone makes it all the sweeter, lol. One gets the feeling her mom spoiled the hell out of her and let her get away with any and everything growing up. Reality thought the rest of the world was like her adoring mom, and would let her get away with her bad behavior. But she finally learned that reality can sometimes be a bitch (pun intended).
Reality ....Loser...
It’s interesting, that Winner pops up in the media at the same time as the push for letting Assange go with time served.
That has got to be his/her spy name.....
No parent would name their offspring a silly name like this, oh wait maybe not
I think Reality can handle her two more years.
There a nice job a Dairy Queen waiting for her when she gets out.
She pled guilty.
“No soup for you!”
She deserves proper medical attention and should serve out her term.
How are they able to print, copy and walk out with classified documents? I think at the FBI building people are searched, printing tracked, no key fobs to load data on are allowed. Doesn’t sound very secure.
How is it shes a whistleblower ?
just like eddy snowjob. whistle being blown for sake of other parties like china russia aq iran etc
A person belongs to prison just for the name like that.
