An Independent Contractor for the National Security Agency
(NSA) has been busted as a leaker of classified unmasked data to the press. The
leaker has been identified as Reality Leigh Winner (what a name for a
Lefty Trump-hater).
Because of her access to classified data, I am unsure just
how much of her prosecution will be public knowledge. She apparently has
confessed, so I hope she is made an example of by sending to a Federal
Penitentiary for a number of years. Maybe even give her a bit of the old Guantanamo try.

The Trump administration is
plugging leaks! Reality Leigh Winner, 25, is
facing charges after she leaked highly classified National Security Agency document to
a media outlet in May.
The Georgia government
contractor in Georgia, who works for Pluribus International Corp, was arrested
by FBI at her home this weekend. She was able to access the information due to
her top secret security clearance.

Washington D.C. is slowing
starting to reek of sweet justice.
The
charges against Reality Leigh Winner came about an hour after the publication
of a story based on an NSA document
detailing Russian attempts to hack American voting systems in
2016.
President
Trump has been pushing Justice to go after leakers inside the federal
government, which he has identified as “the big story” when it comes to
Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election. Winner’s arrest could
signal the federal government is going to aggressively investigate and
prosecute individuals who send classified intelligence to news organizations.
Trump
and other Republican allies in Washington have made pursuing leakers one of
their top priorities, but Winner is the first to face charges for releasing
classified intelligence.
According to HuffPost, the NSA figured out
it was Winner when they conducted an internal audit. From the audit they
determined that the report had been printed by six people. Then when they
audited the competes of those six desktop computers, they found that only
Winner “had email contact” with the news outlet.
Winner,
who had worked for Pluribus since February, reportedly admitted to government
agents Saturday that she had printed the report, removed it from her office and
mailed it to the news outlet from Augusta. Winner also
allegedly “acknowledged that she was aware of the contents of the intelligence
reporting and that she knew the contents of the reporting could be used to the
injury of the United States and to the advantage of a foreign nation,” the FBI
affidavit said.
DOJ’s Rod Rosenstein stated,
“Exceptional law enforcement efforts allowed us quickly to identify and arrest
the defendant,” he continued, “Releasing classified material without
authorization threatens our nation’s security and undermines public faith in
government. People who are trusted with classified information and pledge to
protect it must be held accountable when they violate that obligation.”
Boom. One by one, we
will plug all the leaks. No more will America sink!
