“I am not a traitor. I am not a spy. I am somebody who only acted out of love for what this country stands for.” Reality Winner explains why she leaked to the media classified information on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. https://t.co/OoCNsP9343pic.twitter.com/xz6xhK7emE
60 Minutes of course gave her sympathetic coverage. Would they give someone that leaked Top Secret information against the Biden administration the same sympathetic coverage? Bottom line is that personnel especially low level contractors like her cannot be allowed to make decisions on what Top Secret or Secret information can be shared with journalists. If she wanted to declassify something there is a process to do so.
What makes this even dumber for her is that the information she leaked CNN had already reported on back in October 2016. A federal official told CNN that Russia may have compromised the personal information of Florida, Illinois, and Arizona voters. Reality Winnner’s leak of the document just confirmed what was already known.
Putin interfered not only in the POTUS elections, Putin’s social media goons were bankrolled to bring on Brexit in a vain attempt to bring down NATO.
“The role of Russian money in the Brexit campaign has never been fully explained (as Johnson ordered a cover-up).”
Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic, July 7, 2022
All backfired. Finland and Sweden set to join NATO.
Um, yes you are a traitor.
That’s what a “proud” member of the Zagraditelnye Otriady would say.
Didn’t she have a 30 year sentence?
Skipping right to reading page 24- 26 should help folks who are not familiar with the case. She was definitely a traitor.
