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....

Maybe he will, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he did, because Trump is a nice guy.
But if he did, I expect that she would lack the class and grace to thank him.
He unfairness he was referring to was that Hillary didn’t get the same kind of treatment. This woman must not be that bright to not see that...
...or she’s using the left’s tactics to confuse the argument.
It’s amazing how many people have no clue what Trump meant.
He should pardon her. It would highlight the issue, and put the spotlight where it belongs; on the deep state/Hillary cabal.
She’s already thanking him, so to speak. This is a confused Southern young lady who got a dose of liberalism and made a big mistake. I’d never give her a position of trust again, but I doubt if she’s very dangerous. I could easily see Trump reducing everyone’s sentence by several years who were caught with under XX amount of marijuana.
She should have been denied a security clearance for her name alone.
Winner misinterpreted Trump’s words. Both Winner and Clinton are guilty of serious crimes, but only Winner was punished. Trump thought Clinton should also have been punished. The disparity of treatment was unfair, not Winner’s sentence.
I remember talking with some college students. I had told them that it seemed wrong that people might have sex with someone before they even knew that person's middle name.
One of them responded: "Don't you think it's more important to get their last name?"
“And the weird part is is that it’s true. Some things that happen to you sometimes seem like a dream.”
I’m there right now. Some of the Reid stuff I’m still doing is like that.

“Sorry, the best I can do is make sure Hillary is not your cellmate”.
I know folks who named their daughter Understanding. Understanding is great, but not too sure about it for a name. He got the name from the Bible, out of the book of Proverbs.
Just misremembered and didn’t fact check. Thank you for the correction.
Do they hand out coupons for tattoo parlors at high school graduation now? I was in the Army for quite a long time and the thought never entered my mind.
I don’t get it.
They are everywhere these days.
And expensive as hell from what I gather.
Millenials like “Winner” do think the world only revolves around them.
Clean her up, do some make up and lipstick, style her hair and put her in a nice outfit and then ask me. LOL
