Mom Shocked at Daughter's Arrest for Leaking Secrets
The Daily Beast ^ | June 5,2017 | KELLY WEILL BEN COLLINS

“She called us yesterday night. She asked if we could help out with relocating her cat and dog,” Winner-Davis said. Winner-Davis said her daughter never talked about her work, and her family did not know the specifics of her recently acquired job as a government contractor. She added that her daughter, while quiet about her job, was outspoken about her beliefs. “She’s very passionate. Very passionate about her views and things like that, but she’s never to my knowledge been active in politics or any of that,” said Winner-Davis. On Twitter, she expressed frequent dissatisfaction with Trump administration policies, and retweeted a joke about government leaks, as well as a tweet by famous whistleblower Edward Snowden. Winner is a U.S. Air Force veteran. As a parting gift in November, she wrote, her colleagues gave her a signed and framed photograph of Anderson Cooper, which she showed off in a Facebook post.

“Thank you for your service,” her colleagues wrote on the picture. It is unclear when her daughter might be able to seek bond, Winner-Davis said. “She has a hearing on Thursday about that,” she said.

She just got back from a May 27-29 trip to Belize. Bet she’ll cherish that memory while in prison. Threw her whole life away. I hope they make an example of her—life in prison or execution if the latter were remotely possible. Now on to the next traitors...

Anyone who gave her a Top Secret clearance in Feb 2017... after what was publicly available in on Facebook profile in November 2016 should be in the cell next to this snowflake.

Elsewhere? Reliable sources? The little I’ve read (admittedly from msm) says she found proof the Russians hacked into our system.

Hoping it’s a sting.

“How proud they must be.”

Maybe they can have a “family gathering” with Bowie Bergdahl’s folks.

So exactly what was she supposed to have leaked?

Real "proof" that there's "real intel" proving that the Russians stole the election from Hillary!

The "real intel" was in the form of a note from some never-Trumper in the NSA who wrote "I know the Russians stole the election from Hillary".

Now that this dupe has been busted, everyone knows all the rumors were really true!

“A 25-year-old federal contract worker from Augusta, Georgia has been charged by the Department of Justice for taking Top Secret materials from her workplace and mailing them to a news outlet.”

And if the “news outlet” published them, prosecute THEM!

This didn’t come from a Federal investigation. The media outlet where this dingbat mailed the classified material realized what they had in their possession and apparently reported it to the FBI themselves.

Oh, I know they can do wrong. But still surprising to see one commit treason.

Right before I saw this article, I read the article in The Intercept that she leaked.

I read it too. It was a nothing burger.

It’s really good she is passionate. Hopefully the judge will be just as passionate when he sentences her!

Did the writer ask the real question?

What’s up with the name?

Remember, there were reports last week that Trump was going to declare Executive Privilege regarding Comey’s testimony and my thought was “this sounds like a false leak to catch a leaker”. Then - viola! - we see a leaker caught.

And there are stories that Trump is *not* going to declare Executive Privilege. I doubt he ever was.

“Yes. But she was given the TS Clearance under Obunga”

No, according to the article, she was hired as a Contract Employee this past February.

“Winner had been a government contractor with Top Secret clearance at a Georgia facility since February, according to the DOJ.”

Seriously correct you are. So many questions...

It must be a rumor that employers trouble themselves to check out your social media reveals. How in the H&// does she pull of a job remotely near the military and NSA, when speaking to the President of the United States in this manner via Twitter? It’s like nothing I imagined for US intelligence agencies to fail so utterly in background checking.

I expect your local shoe store, or city swimming pool, does better at researching candidates for jobs. Gee whiz.
