"Winner was arrested on June 3, 2017. The U.S. Department of Justice announced her arrest on June 5, shortly after The Intercept published an article describing Russian attempts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election by hacking a U.S. voting software supplier and sending spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials just days before the November 8 election. The Intercept's story was based on a top-secret May 5, 2017, National Security Agency (NSA) document leaked to them anonymously."

Intelligence report leak, arrest, potential role of The Intercept in her arrest and sentencing

Fat chance of clemency happening under Trump. She’s one winner he doesn’t care for.

The old rule of thumb still holds up pretty well.

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

If you didn't grant yourself clemency by just taking a
pass on this sort of thing, why should anyone else?

Reality Winner? Sounds like more like a racehorse than a spy.

Whistleblower? She was a political operative who opposed Trump and tried to assist the coup.

She should have been hanged as a terrorist spy.

You can never take the sob stories Reality Loser trots out, at face value. I remember when this all broke, reading articles quoting her as being confident that she’d get leniency because she knows how to garner sympathy by crying and looking vulnerable. I’ll have to try to find the link. The bottom line is Reality Loser is a manipulative radical who had no business being entrusted with state secrets.

She wasn’t a whistleblower. As an employee of an NSA contractor, she took top secret information that she was not assigned, copied it, carried it out, and gave it to the press. Her actions possibly compromised our intelligence gathering concerning Russia.

She sounds like a talented nutjob, and she deserves every single second of her sentence.

How is it she’s a “whistleblower “? She used her security clearance to go snooping around for something she was not involved in to share with a reporter.

It’s interesting, that Winner pops up in the media at the same time as the push for letting Assange go with time served.

I think Reality can handle her two more years.
There a nice job a Dairy Queen waiting for her when she gets out.

A person belongs to prison just for the name like that.
