Reality Winner, N.S.A. Contractor Accused in Leak, Pleads Guilty
WASHINGTON — Reality L. Winner, a former Air Force linguist who was the first person prosecuted by the Trump administration on charges of leaking classified information, pleaded guilty on Tuesday as part of an agreement with prosecutors that calls for a sentence of 63 months in prison.
Ms. Winner, who entered her plea in Federal District Court in Augusta, Ga., was arrested last June and accused of sharing a classified report about Russian interference in the 2016 election with the news media.
Ms. Winner had been “mad about some things she had seen in the media, and she wanted to set the facts right.”
Ms. Winner-Davis said of her daughter’s willingness to plead guilty, “She wouldn’t have made this decision if she wasn’t ready to accept the consequences and to accept responsibility.”
----------------------------------------
I never even heard about her before.
And Republicans cry that Obama should have done something.
Well, it looks like someone did. Her love for the country has cost her a lot. She actually tried to help the country Trump is dividing and trying to destroy on orders from Vladimir Putin.
Pitiful,
just
pitiful.
