Let's talk about Reality Winner
She was not very smart.
She did not win at reality.

What the fuck kind of name is that? I'm assuming she changed it?

Let's talk about use /overuse of contractors like Snowden and this woman rather than hiring full time permanent positions that would put the vetting in the hands of the agencies they work for. Quit making these folks temps.

In my opinion as a close follower of the news, this was not new enough information to risk your freedom over.

The other thing is that The Intercept was completely inept in protecting its source. They released the actual document she gave them which had marks on it that can trace exactly when and where the document was printed. They could have transcribed it, or better yet, written a story that didn't cite the actual document and was just good journalism. That would have slowed down the process, although Winner was one of only 5 in the whole NSA that printed the document, and any story about the information would probably have getten her caught. She was dumb, Intercept was dumb, they got busted fast. No potential leaker should ever trust them again.

It doesn't rival Ellsworth pentagon papers and if she leaked this, she should go to jail. But remember the Pentagon papers turned Ellsworth into a local folk hero. I wonder if she was thinking along those lines? Probably not. Daman Millenials
