Reality Winner sentenced to more than 5 years over classified report leak
Fox News ^ | 8/23/18 | Brooke Singman

Former National Security Agency contractor Reality Winner on Thursday was sentenced to more than five years in prison after pleading guilty to leaking a classified report with information on Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election.

Winner, 26, was sentenced to 63 months, with no fine in a Georgia courtroom on Thursday. She received an additional three years of supervised release. Winner appeared in court Thursday wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Winner pleaded guilty in June after being held in prison at the Lincoln County Jail near Augusta, Georgia. Winner was arrested in June 2017, and charged under the Espionage Act for removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet, according to the Justice Department.

Winner’s 2017 arrest was announced shortly after the Intercept website published a story detailing how Russian hackers attacked at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent so-called “spear-phishing” emails to more than 100 local election officials at the end of October or beginning of November 2016.

The rosetta stone to this article is realizing that Reality Winner is a person’s name. Until you distill that the whole thing’s confusing.

Sentenced today - that's extremely fast moving her through. One could speculate on how this happened when others take years and years.

And no one bothered to ask how she got the job or who her references were.
I guess its easy to become head of the FBI.
Stand around and blame others for your mistakes.
