That is what real conviction and sentencing does: deters others from breaking those laws.
If people are not convicted, there is no deterrence.
If sentences are light, there is no deterrence.
If sentences are not carried out in a timely fashion, there is no deterrence.
If convicts are freed of their obligation to serve a sentence, there is no deterrence.
This woman has no regret except the regret of getting caught.
She will likely be able to bank off Leftist enthusiasm for as long as her fifteen minutes of fame lasts. Perhaps she should have talked to Cindy Sheehan to get a better handle on how long that lasts.

Unless federal sentencing law has been changed in the recent past, her lawyer's statement is completely bogus.
I’ve got to admit, “Reality Winner” is a great name.
Uh...but reality sucks, y’now.

She is not a whistleblower!
Other than that it seems there was no special treatment. She was sentenced to 5 years 3 months and was released in ~4 years. Seems like a standard good behavior release.
