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.
You’re 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 didn’t 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. F’in prog moron.
