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....

Trump said the standards are unfair, ntot that Winner’s sentence for what she did was unfair.
Trump would rather both were in jail. Just cuz Hillabitch is free doesnt mean Winner walks.
Did I ever show you the Vogue photo shoot where they cleaned up Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz? They are miracle workers.
Not necessarily true.
Govt is full of diversity hires. Got firsthand experience in that.
Split this idiot’s sentence with Hillary. The art of the deal.
Trump should say, “don’t like prison, how about what you really deserve, execution? Firing squad or hanging?”
I keep forgetting things have changed. In my day, if you were in intelligence it’s because you deserved to be there. I never met anyone in that field who wasn’t sharp as a whip. It’s one reason they’d hang officer-like duties and responsibilities on us even as privates. I was slotted as an E-9 even though I was still an E-1 which the rule book says never happens.
Maybe the President could find a way to knock a little time off of her sentence with a pardon as a very public good will gesture towards ignorant, young, less mature, working class political opponents, but she shouldn’t work with classified information again.
You know...”Our President is so nice!” And...

that’s an interesting story...
No deals. Q
That was her sex (female) on her birth certificate, but not her name. She changed her name, not her sex.
Which, as a certain leader might say, almost guarantees she’s good in bed. That’s been my experience.
They are Legion and would be impressed by his leniency. There but for the Grace of God go I. An election is more of a mosaic or jigsaw puzzle than it is a straight-out military campaign.
And the weird part is is that it’s true. Some things that happen to you sometimes seem like a dream.
she learned that from that clinton lacky that did it..
he got away with it to if I recall.
She completely misunderstood the President’s comments. He wasn’t saying she was overly harshly sentenced, what he meant is that there are people who have done worse that are still at large and deserve more than the piddly five years that miss Winner got.
Probably, but the exit fee is really steep and maybe even dangerous.
No. He should exile this traitor after her sentence .
I think you have her confused with Bradley Manning who had the mental health issues regarding his gender.
You don’t tell them your real last name until you’re pretty far along in the relationship.
