Billie Winner-Davis doesn't get it, or maybe she does. How can Paul Manafort, chairman of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, get compassionate release from prison — years before his slated release, after lying about his dealings with Russian intelligence assets — while someone who leaked a report about Moscow's efforts to interfere in elections, like her daughter, languish behind bars?
And whatever happened to all of those people who used to champion the cause of persecuted whistle-blowers?
"As each chapter of this unfolds, I see just how corrupt our system really is, and I see just how powerless the average American is," Winner-Davis, the mother of former US intelligence contractor Reality Winner, told Business Insider.

Who the heck would name their kid “reality”?
Hey mom, your kid won a dose of reality.
Reality Whiner
May she rot in prison, but she won’t.
Mother Winner meet Mike Flynn
Sure she’s languishing behind bars - otherwise know as serving her time.
What a shocker her mom has a hyphenated name.
I don't believe that's an accurate statement. Manafort was charged with not registering as a foreign agent and money laundering for the Ukraine--which is not Russia.
I guess the Business Insider is still pushing the fake Russian hoax...
Sure is corrupt. Hillary was trafficking in state secrets off her private server, and she’s walking around free. Your daughter violated the state secrets law by leaking to the press, and went to jail. To get whistle blower protection, you need to follow the whistle blower procedure, not leak to the press. Now maybe they’ll make the system fair, and put Hillary in the electric chair, like the Rosenbergs.
Here is a quarter, call somebody who cares.
I thought he was convicted of many years old tax evasion charges that prosecutors initially took a pass on?
Even if he had lied about talking to Russians, that is hardly comparable to someone on the inside working for the NSA releasing classified information - that is on a whole other level.
Meanwhile HRC moves about freely.
Ha Ha Ha.
Her mother has a point. Out of all the hundreds of leaks, and now Bolton’s book, this young idiot is the only one to do time. Such an inept and corrupt DOJ
Queue the Beretta theme song...
I have zero sympathy for these people.
What ever happened to teaching your kids to accept responsibility for their actions?
No. there was a sailor who did time because he took photos of a Nuke boomer.
Felicity, Charity, Chastity and Grace are OK. But Reality, Spatula—NOOOOOO! That’s probably proof of racism, but I haven’t yet figured out how.
