Reality Winner will ask Trump to reverse her ‘so unfair’ prison sentence
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | August 31, 2018 | Johnny Edwards

Posted on 09/01/2018 7:00:09 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

When her mother told her that President Donald Trump had tweeted about her case, Reality Winner braced for the worst. After all, ever since her arrest for leaking a top-secret document, strangers on the internet have called her a traitor, mocked her name and gloated over her legal predicament.

But Trump didn’t gloat and he didn’t mock, at least not her. The day after a federal judge handed her a record-setting prison sentence, Winner heard her mother read the president’s words through a phone receiver at the Lincoln County jail, where she’s been incarcerated for more than a year.

“Gee, this is ‘small potatoes’ compared to what Hillary Clinton did!” Trump wrote in a multi-tweet diatribe against his appointed Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “So unfair Jeff, Double Standard.”

Winner, in a phone interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday, said she will ask Trump for clemency as a result of that tweet, finding out if the president meant what he wrote.

“I roared like a lion,” Winner said, describing her reaction to his post. “I dropped the phone and I sat on the floor and cried and said, ‘I want my family,’ over and over again.”

Winner said her legal team is already working on her pardon application....

I'm really up in the air on the guilty/not guilty as it's played here at FR. Obviously she is guilty of passing classified material to a journalist, but that's not really what we're talking about, is it? Clean her up, do some make up and lipstick, style her hair and put her in a nice outfit and then ask me. LOL

I hope the President Trump responds with “I know your prison sentence seems unfair because you got a fair prison sentence while Hillary Clinton skated. I promise to put Hillary in prison for her bigger crimes for longer sentence.”

Doesn’t “she” need surgery first?

She has potential, but has serious mental issues.

She should rot in prison for leaking top secret info. Throw her mother in with her for giving her a stupid first name.

That’s Bradley Manning and Mr. Obama finally commuted his sentence after dawdling for years on it.

I don’t think that was “her” name on the birth certificate.

Where’s that “crazy woman matrix” chart? Add “Reality” to women named Tiffany and hairdressers.

Dumb as a box of rocks

******

At the time, she was working as an analyst for a National Security Agency contractor at Fort Gordon in Augusta. Prosecutors said she copied the pages at work, folded them into her pantyhose, then walked them out of the building.

Apparently:

“Mr Davis said that Reality’s father had the honor of naming his second daughter.

‘He always wanted to have a ‘Real Winner’ so he named her Reality Leigh Winner. It’s just a beautiful name. The plan was to call her Leigh because Reality is kind of a strange name but everyone who knew her just loved the name Reality and it stuck with her. I forget sometimes that she has ever been called Leigh – she’s always been Reality.’”

She was “dumb” to do that, but if she was an Air Force and later an NSA analyst she wasn’t dumb mentally. Only the top 3% of people normally qualify for jobs like that. When I went to the Military Entrance and Processing Station (MEPS) a man in a dress uniform with no insignia, rank, decorations or name tag came and grabbed me from my recruiter and wouldn’t let me even talk to any other career counselor. Something similar probably happened to Reality, Bradley and everyone else who was hand-selected for intelligence. They don’t always work out. I had a roommate at Fort Hood who was carrying on a detailed conversation full of conspiracy theories with me as I lay in bed asleep. When I woke and heard him go on for 10 minutes I went and grabbed the staff duty NCO. Never saw him again.

She sent classified material for a reason. And it wasn’t a good one. Probably encouraged by Manning Pardon and Hellary not getting into any trouble. The
