The woman charged by the Department of Justice with stealing “Top Secret” information from the National Security Agency apparently believes being white is a form of terrorism.
That’s according to a tweet the alleged leaker, Reality Winner, sent in February. Winner, who is herself white, tweeted at rapper Kanye West that he should make a shirt declaring whiteness an act of terror.
“@kanyewest you should make a shirt that says, ‘being white is terrorism’,” she tweeted.
Winner’s social media history is filled with left-wing messages and support for progressives like Bernie Sanders, as The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross has previously documented.
The majority of her recent tweets are angrily directed against President Donald Trump, in particular rehashing the liberal trope about “tiny hands.” She has also called the president an “orange fascist,” a “cunt” and bashed his selection of “Confederate General” Jeff Sessions amounts to racism. Sessions is head of the agency currently prosecuting Winner.
Winner held a Top Secret security clearance for her job at Pluribus International, an NSA contractor. She reportedly is the source for The Intercept’s Monday report about previously unknown Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Actually, I'm a bit more optimistic on this.
The adjudication guidelines previously were such that one would have to actually participate in these activities (BLM, Antifa, etc). They have very recently changed to allow sympathy to be considered.
That is YUGE.
I don't minimize what you're saying but those adjudicators and investigators who are actually loyal did not have the tools to rule out these traitors. Now they do.
Not saying it's going to be overnight, but over 5-10 years, there can be a significant change.
Her actions can be expected based upon the fact that if she had parents stupid enough to give her that cutesy name they also had other issues with stupidity in her upbringing. Not much reality in her name.
50 years ago Background Intelligence was a joke.
In Dec ‘64 I took my pre-induction physical in San Antonio. It included filling out a form: Have you ever been a member of ... have you ever been involved in ... the KKK, White Citizens Council, Communist Party, etc.
I answered honestly that as a student of sociology I had attended meetings of the Communist Party in Illinois and Mississippi and of the KKK and White Citizens Council in Mississippi. I answered honestly that I was not a member and not a supporter of any of them. That I was a member of YAF and YFG and supported them.
From Dec ‘64 to Jan ‘66 they investigated me. Later as personnel clerk I was able to read the complete file of that investigation, and of similar investigations, most notably of a fellow libertarian in my unit in Ft Carson, CO.
The investigation consisted of sending letters to the FBI and to police departments in Seattle area, in Illinois, in Mississippi and in Texas inquiring for information about me. Each of those departments then sent letters to all the other departments inquiring if they had information on me. Each of those departments then replied to all the other departments that they had x number of inquiries about me. They then followed up that they had x + y inquiries about me.
The letters back and forth snowballed into many hundreds of letters. Each letter was date stamped and signed as received.
Not a single police agency, not the FBI, not anyone made any effort to develop any information on me beyond sending letters asking if anyone else had information on me.
Nobody developed any information on my controversial activity my senior year of high school.
Nobody developed any information on my pre-knowledge of the JFK assassination and contact with the FBI regarding that.
Nobody developed any information on my intense involvement in many Alinsky organizations in Chicago.
All of the above were easy to discover with minimal effort.
Both at pre-induction Dec 64 and at time of induction in Jan 66 the sergeants handling everything regarded my support for Goldwater as treasonous. They asked me how I could be loyal to LBJ. My answer was that the oath I took was to be preserve and protect the Constitution and that is what I would do.
After I had been officially inducted, the sergeant refused to ship me out and verbally sent me home, which forced me to be awol my first 5 days in the Army. Finally they let me in and shipped me out.
After leaving the Army I again attended many Communist and far left meetings, and Alinksy and all anti-Chicago Dem machine groups in 1968 and after. The BI activities of the FBI and Red Squad were a total joke. The undercover agents had no understanding of the personalities and motivations of the people in the groups they were infiltrating.
They had no freedom to choose which groups to infiltrate. They infiltrated what upper level bureaucrats told them to infiltrate. Of course, during that period, it was popular to be the most left of any group. So groups were constantly spitting and new groups forming more left than the old group (6 months old) that they rejected as a sellout to the Daley machine.
The approach of the BI bureaucrats was so slow and bureaucratic that they were always years behind what was the real extremist group.
The article from The Intercept (which I have never heard of) contains a diagram of the supposed connection to the “GRU” which is supposedly the Russian government spy agency. The diagram says a green line connects parties based on “confirmed information” and a yellow line connects parties based on “analyst judgement”. There is a yellow line between the GRU and the source of the supposed hacking. So this whole article is saying that someone has a hunch about a connection to the Russian government. So it is speculation, why is this news? More likely this NSA document is a fake which was intentionally leaked to this “Winner” to see if she would make it public, and she did.

The winner here is Trump, as usual.
FYI, the GRU is Russian (and former Soviet) military intelligence (DIA plus Army, AF, Navy Intel)...as opposed to the NKVD / KGB / FSB...which is the civilian (CIA) version.
I have no doubt she'll be getting a thorough background investigation of her entire work history, as a contractor, an AF Airman and beyond. If they discover she had any culpability in what happened to Navy SEAL Owens, she'll be looking at the death penalty.
Two things to keep in mind: 1) This is now Trump's administration; 2) She's the first rat caught and they'll be sure to make an example of her.
The clearance was for her career field in the AF. She likely didn't have a history before she was 18 when it would have been investigated/adjudicated. That's one of the problems with kids coming in and going directly to Top Secret/SCI jobs - they haven't had time for a history to be documented.
Stuff like this...really from either direction needs to be grounds for REVOKING SECURITY CLEARANCES. These people are compromised...there simply is NO WAY they can be trusted.
Until we start doing just that, expect more of this crap.
This is so odd. Could it be they arrested this person to create a case law against Hillary, I remember hillary on TV talking about the emails there was no case law about the emails to prosecute her. Anyone out there know
She's not a kid. She's a 25 year old adult and she received her clearance as a linguist in the Air Force.
Yet NBC had no clue as to what her possible motivation could be.
Sara Winners should change her name to Ima Loser.
Gotcha, thanks.
One down, ten thousand to go.
If convicted in a federal court she will do almost all the time. There is no “good time” in federal prison system.
LOL!
Well...this chick’s life is over.
I just heard she served in the Air Force. It must’ve been connected somehow.
It’s obvious that the left hates this country and the principles upon which it was founded. As a way of showing its hatred for Christianity it pledges its undying love for *slam, an ideology which hates Christianity and this country.
