Remember her? Yeah, she's going to stay in jail for a while. Maybe a long while. Judge denies bail for woman accused of leaking US secrets
This is the first I've ever heard of her. Naturally, I thought the title was referring to someone who had won an elimination based reality show.
Yeah, maybe she had some sort of romanticized Julian Assange fantasy about what would happen if she leaked this stuff. She certainly wasn't very smart about it because, if I remember correctly, they caught her within 24 hours of the leak. Orange is the new black.
Blue is the new red. Assange has been too effective to be dubbed a fantasizer. To what effect is at your discretion.
What does that even mean? Anyway, Winner pleads guilty. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/26/us/reality-winner-nsa-leak-guilty-plea.html

This is, ladies and gentlemen, the only known case of a "deep state" operative trying to undermine Trump. She is guilty, and sentence is fair, but I cant help it feeling some sympathy. Her deed was more justified than what Chelsea Manning did (half of the country still think Russian meddling was this joke, rather than a serious attack it actually was) , but no Obama in office to commute the sentence.
