Accused leaker Reality Leigh Winner pleaded not guilty again Thursday to providing classified information to an online news outlet and her defense team signaled they will fight to get as much information as they can to aid her defense in the face of heavy security restrictions.
Winner entered U.S District Court in Augusta heavily shackled and accompanied by two U.S. Marshals. She wore a rumpled orange jumpsuit with “inmate” stamped on the back and her blond hair was woven in tight braids across her head. She barked out a clear, “Not guilty” to the superceding indictment she faced in the case. She is still accused of a single count of illegally retaining and transmitting classified information to the online news outlet The Intercept.
The new indictment was almost exactly the same as the preceding one except it provided a more specific date for the offense, May 9, said assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Solari. Winner, who had a classified security clearance, was working for National Security Agency contractor Pluribus. She was arrested June 3 and has been held without bond since then.
She has been charged under the Espionage Act but defense attorney John Bell said that was normally applied to people who disclosed military secrets such as “movement of troops and ships and stuff like that” and how that would apply to this case “frankly puzzles me.” He cited a case from the 1940s “that involved a real German spy” who had been recruited to do things like take photos of defense plants from the outside and count trucks leaving a factory. Charges were were ultimately dismissed in that case “because all of the information was in the public domain,” Bell said, and this case could be like that.
A big issue in the Winner case is the amount of classified information

Who does she think she is? Bradly Manning?
How can we possibly make a judgement here on FR without a picture of the chick involved?
Oh, sorry. “Chick” is both an outdated and a sexist word. I shouldn’t have said that. My revised post: How can we possibly make a judgement here on FR without a picture of the bimbo involved?
I, and most other people had completely forgotten about this girl. She may as well go back to using her real name and real hair color. I think she worked as a translator for farsi matters.
Besides she’ll probably transex herself into a man before long
She best recognize Obama is no longer in office and Trump will let her rot in prison and never pardon her.
Best take a plea.
Hillary has done much worse, yet she walks free. No orange designer jumpsuit for her.
Ah, she might clean up nice.
Thanks for the pic. I vote guilty. But if she does clean up a bit, not guilty is a possibility.
In her case, I don’t see how avoiding at least 20 years in prison. I don’t think she has any negotiation angle to this.
Guilty
NORK style.
Almost thought she could be cute until this pic.
There is nothing worse (for me) than a tattooed woman.
yyyuuuccckkk!
Hang her!
Winner, winner, prison dinner.
You must be my age.
Hillary is walking free that likely gives this “it” hope that she can beat treason.
