You know...................the name of the person they filed charges on kinda makes me wonder................Reality Winner? Really?
From the link......................
A criminal complaint was filed in the Southern District of Georgia today charging Reality Leigh Winner, 25, a federal contractor from Augusta, Georgia, with removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Section 793(e).
Winner was arrested by the FBI at her home on Saturday, June 3, and appeared in federal court in Augusta this afternoon.
“Exceptional law enforcement efforts allowed us quickly to identify and arrest the defendant,” said Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein. “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.”
good catch
Well, unlike most on here, I like to actually read the links posted just to see if there is something strange in the story, and well..............you gotta admit, the FBI arresting someone called Reality Winner for passing state secrets kinda sounds like it came from the Onion.
She is a contract worker, who signed an agreement not to share information.
She lied, and she committed treason. The fact that goobers like you think it's funny or acceptable, or nothing to worry about, are the reason our country is such a mess.
