Y’all got sources?

yeah so more information about this woman who leaked important information pertaining russia’s involvement in the election: 

Her name is “Reality Leigh Winner” and she was a NSA Contractor. She passed a top secret NSA document to a news source (an article from The Intercept) that contains information about a Russian cyber-attack with one voting machine DAYS before the 2016 presidential election. This is considered the most detailed piece of proof regarding Russia’s interference with the elections to date. 

Here’s how the NSA document described how the Russians did the hacking: 

“As described by the classified NSA report, the Russian plan was simple: pose as an e-voting vendor and trick local government employees into opening Microsoft Word documents invisibly tainted with potent malware that could give hackers full control over the infected computers.

But in order to dupe the local officials, the hackers needed access to an election software vendor’s internal systems to put together a convincing disguise. So on August 24, 2016, the Russian hackers sent spoofed emails purporting to be from Google to employees of an unnamed U.S. election software company, according to the NSA report. Although the document does not directly identify the company in question, it contains references to a product made by VR Systems, a Florida-based vendor of electronic voting services and equipment whose products are used in eight states.

The spear-phishing email contained a link directing the employees to a malicious, faux-Google website that would request their login credentials and then hand them over to the hackers. The NSA identified seven “potential victims” at the company. While malicious emails targeting three of the potential victims were rejected by an email server, at least one of the employee accounts was likely compromised, the agency concluded. The NSA notes in its report that it is “unknown whether the aforementioned spear-phishing deployment successfully compromised all the intended victims, and what potential data from the victim could have been exfiltrated.”

So instead of having Trump and his entire party removed, they gon throw home girl in jail and try to act like none of this happened.

Her name, Reality Winner, is ironic in this context.

Why do millennials keep leaking government secrets? Because they are brave and information matters.

Seriously, why the HELL is this woman in prison for doing the right thing?

Because the fuckheads in power want to stay in power.

Another key detail: she leaked this information to The Intercept because she was upset at how much they and other Leftist Media sources were covering for Trump and downplaying the Russian interference, especially their editor Glenn Greenwald.

The Intercept was incredibly sloppy in handling the leak, basically sending the documents immediately to the NSA itself, asking them to confirm them. Instead, the NSA and FBI uses the unredacted personally-identifying information on the documents to quickly identify and arrest Ms. Winner.

While The Intercept has been glad to use Winner as a martyr, they’ve rarely even tried to reckon with their direct role in her arrest. Worst of all, they continue to downplay Russian interference. Greenwald himself is a regular guest of Fox News when they want to parade out a Leftist to defend Trump over the Russian interference. Those Reality Winner was trying to plead to listen remain the least willing to hear.
