Reality Winner: Woman charged with top-secret leak denied bond

AUGUSTA, Ga. – A judge has ruled that a woman charged with leaking secrets to a reporter will remain jailed until her trial after prosecutors argued that she might possess more stolen intelligence and could try to flee the country.

Winner worked for a U.S. government contractor in Augusta. She is a former Air Force linguist who speaks Farsi and Arabic. Prosecutors don't think Winner is a jihadist or terrorist sympathizer, they say that before she left the military, she inserted an external hard drive into a top-secret computer there. They say they don't know what happened to it or what it might contain.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian Epps denied bond Thursday for 25-year-old Reality Winner. Prosecutor Jennifer Solari says investigators seized a notebook from Winner's house in Augusta, Georgia, and in it, Winner made references about traveling to the Middle East. At one point she wrote, "I want to burn the White House down ... find somewhere in Kurdistan to live. Haha."

Thank goodness someone in government had some sense.

How did she pick up the Mideast languages? Did she live there, go to school there? Did she attend the Defense Language Institute?

What is her bio?

“Solari said Winner’s laptop also contained software that could enable her to access online black-markets and buy items — such as a fake ID or passport — without revealing her identity or location.”

U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian Epps is a PATRIOT!

Perhaps HE believes AS I DO that Reality Winner is a SPY FOR IRAN, ALONG WITH OBAMA, JARRETT, BRENNAN, ETC..

THIS THING COULD BUST WIDE OPEN. Be VERY careful in the prison showers, WINNER.

After graduating high school, Reality joined the military. She served as a linguist in the United States Air Force and was fluent in Farsi, Dari, and Pashto. Reality held top-secret security clearance. Most recently she had been working for Pluribus International Corporation in Augusta

Anyone using TOR at home to mask their identity WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HOLDING A TOP SECRET CLEARANCE is BEGGING to be watched.. NOT SMART.

SHE IS AN AGENT FOR IRAN. Mark my words and Team Obama is sweating bullets that they didn't get to her first. I'll BET they wished they had 'Seth Rich'd' her.

I suspect that after a lonnnnnng prison sentence she'll be a cunning linguist.
