An attorney for former National Security Agency contractor Reality Winner says that he laughed after reading President Trump's tweet calling his clients crime "small potatoes" and describing her prosecution as "so unfair" and evidence of a double standard for Hillary Clinton.
The jailed leaker pleaded guilty to providing The Intercept a copy of a report on Russian attempts to hack state election systems and was sentenced Thursday to more than 5 years in prison, one of the longest terms ever for releasing classified information to a news outlet.
I just laughed, because nobody really knows the reason why the president says what he does, defense attorney Titus Nichols told the Washington Examiner.

Didn’t his client get sent up for five years?
And he’s laughing?

Trump The Just.
As much as I disagree with Winner’s politica, she’s the smallest of small potatoes when it comes to leaking.
If what she did is worth 5 years, then what the Clinton Gang did is worth centuries.

More Trump Friday humor:
A U.S. Marine enters the Catholic Church confessional booth in Manitowish Waters, WI
He says, “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. Last night, I beat the ever living crap out of a flag burning, cop hating, anti-Trump protester.”
The priest says, “My son, I am here to forgive your sins, not to discuss your community service.” -

“And hes laughing?”
That was my feeling. Was trying to find something that made him so cynical, couldn’t find it in the article.
Apparently Left wing attorney’s feel like they are there to help convict their client.

How’s his client laugh in prison? Is she laughing at this moment?
You can bet he’s a Democrat.

Odd that a black lawyer would wear the Confederate flag on his lapel. I'm assuming that Miss Winner is the type of gal who might enjoy herself in a woman's prison. It'd be like sentencing me to three meals a day at Ruth's Chris.

Many had expected Reality to get at least five times as much jail time. Maybe the lawyer was laughing with startled relief at how easily it was all working out for his client.

Before her bust she said she intended to permanently MOVE to some part of Afghanistan.
That woman was a serious threat.

You make an excellent point. The justice system is only for the "little" people. This girl gets 5 years. Hillary, nothing. In a just system Hillary would get 50 years.

They deserve hanging.

She WAS “small potatoes” compared to Clinton, Obama and DNC.
