Air Force Veteran Reality Leigh Winner

I have never been in Reality and I cannot stand a leaky Leigh, Winner has lost.  I doubt this poor girl had much of a chance from birth.

Prosecutors say a Georgia woman who pleaded guilty to mailing a secret U.S. report to a news organization faces the “longest sentence” ever for a federal crime involving leaks to the media.

Ex-National Security Agency contractor Reality Winner is scheduled for sentencing Aug. 23 by a federal judge in AugustaShe pleaded guilty in June.

Winner’s plea deal calls for a prison sentence of five years and three months. The judge isn’t bound by that agreement, and the charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.

Prosecutors said in a court filing Tuesday their recommended sentence is stiffer than punishments in prior leak cases.

Winner’s arrest last year was announced the same day The Intercept published a story on a classified NSA report on Russian hackers and the 2016 election. She is a former Air Force linguist who speaks Arabic and Farsi and had a top-secret security clearance.

I thought they stopped arresting people who leaked information to the press.  Link to story HERE

    ‘Reality’ check, nice.

    Stupid little fucking bitch cunt…

      So, how do you really feel about her?

      😉

        You know, he might need to start seeing a therapist to help him work on letting his feelings out.

        1. He told me he had a feeling once, said he didn’t much care for it.

          It’s probably best he does not “touch” things in public.

    2. Ex-PH2

      No, really, CH, how do you really feel about this person?

      Please remember: you’re among friends. No one is judging you. Do you need a tissue?

      1. Combat Historian

        Thanks to y’all’s concerns about me holding in my emotions; I’ll try to be more open and expressive in my future posts…///

        1. MSG Eric

          Dave says it’s okay, as long as you don’t touch anything. Is that why you’re not allowed within 500ft of a school? The feelings part? or the touching thing?

    They cannot revoke her Top Secret clearance.
    It is a first amendment right according ex CIA Director John Brennan.

      Guess I should check to see if my fundamental right to my TS clearance has been violated, even though it has been over 40 years since there was any reason to have it.

    3. Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

      I retired from Brink’s back in 2007, so now I will demand that they give me back my id card, S&W 4046 .40, uniforms and the codes for the ATM machines and combinations from the customers safes.

    4. Mason

      I’m still shocked they allow these people to retain them! I got the letter within a week of ETS-ing that my clearance was being withdrawn.

      I get that it helps to have them cleared to look at cases they were working before leaving, being able to be read into new/current cases to give advice to the next guy, etc.

      The problem I have with that is when you’ve got a guy with a TS/SC clearance like that working as a writer, political commentator, etc. Clearly they are profiting personally off their potential for access to TS information. This is totally anathema to a secure system.

      This is like when Missouri outlawed people using food stamps to buy liquor, cigarettes, lottery tickets, and tattoos. WHY IN GOD’S GREEN EARTH WAS THAT EVER LEGAL?!?! Same thing here, why do people indefinitely retain such clearances when they aren’t ever going to work in government again? Especially when they’ve been caught lying to congress, the courts, and the American people and have been fired for that.

      1. SaraSnipe

        Security clearances have a shelf life. I think they had to be renewed after eight years, and when I thought mine was going to expire prior to my ets, I was informed they were good for ten years now. I could be wrong.

        1. MSG Eric

          Top Secret: 5 years
          Secret: 10 years
          Confidential: 15 years

      2. USMC Steve

        There is no need for them to retain that access to classified material. Should the new guy need a classified briefing from the old guy, they could easily bring him or her in, read them back in, make them sign another nondisclosure agreement, have the meeting then debrief them again. There is NO need for standing access to classified for people not needing it on a regular basis to do their jobs.

    I’m hoping Chelsea Manning is not on Reality Winner’s approved visitor list in federal prison. Chelsea may conspire with Reality to pursue gender transition on the federal dime then a presidential commutation of her “longest sentence” ever for leaks to the media.

      pron movie there

    ‘Reality’ is about to be fed a big bucket of reality!

    I hope she likes bologna sandwiches that are prepared by a sex offender in some distant kitchen. She’ll be able to wash her lunch down with drinks that are described by their color, and not flavor. “We’re having brown again. I was hoping for yellow”.

    1. HMCS(FMF) ret

      “Reality” is gonna get a dose of reality when she sees “Strap On Sally” for the first time… and realizes that it’s the first day of prison life for a long, long time.

      1. A Proud Infidel®™️

        I hope “Rotten Rhonda”, “Wicked Wanda” and “Strap-on Sally” wipe that smug smirk off her face in no time clay!

  6. J.R. Johnson

    The press stopped covering these kind of stories, but there are about to be a lot more of them. She was wrong and she knew full well what she was doing. Manning at least thought he (not she or it) was a whistle blower. She was trying to pull a Snowden. Hopefully they won’t stop at 10 years!

    1. MSG Eric

      Bullshit. If Manning thought anything it was, “After I do this I’m gonna be ‘L337’ (ELITE) on the internet, bow down noobs!!!!” He wanted to be famous and wanted to get back at the Army for being so cruel to him: giving him a job, feeding him, training him, all those mean things.

      She even was heard saying something to the effect of “I’m a pretty white girl, they won’t be harsh to me!”

      1. Ex-PH2

        Y’know, Master Sergeant, I DO wish you’d post a warning when you write up a comment like that.

        Fortunately, I had not yet imbibed the ice tea and did not spray my monitor screen.

        ‘…pretty white girl…’ okay, sure.

        1. MSG Eric

          If I knew when I was going to be funny enough to offer a spew alert, I’d probably go be a professional comedian.

          Sometimes people laugh at what I say and I don’t even understand why until I think about it. (I’m blonde and sometimes I don’t even get my own jokes….)

      2. SFC D

        “I’m a pretty white girl, they won’t be harsh to me!”

        Who said that, Reality or Bradley??

        1. MSG Eric

          In Reality, Both said it I’m sure….

          I do recall they had audio of Reality saying that to her parents though.

      3. desert

        Too damn bad, “pretty white girl” in her whole pathetic life wasn’t taught just a smiggen of patriotism! hang the traitor, why feed them…they are bad seeds imho!

  7. Veritas Omnia Vincit

    So who exactly does the law apply to these days?

    Turds like Brennan walk free, officers are given golden parachutes to retirement and the rest of us mere peons serve prison time.

    At some point if history is any indicator the peons get really tired of being the only ones treated like criminals while their betters walk for the same offenses. Here’s hoping that day comes sooner rather than later.

    I’m not saying what she did is right, but it seems of late the concept of equal treatment under the law is more of lie than it’s been historically.

    Comey changes the wording of a report from grossly negligent to careless changing the nature of the report from criminal to merely stupid, no big deal and Clinton gets a free pass to run for president…some idiot gets a DUI and gets tossed from the military while a general uses taxpayers funds to fuck his subordinate in nice hotels and is allowed to retire with pay and benefits. Interesting times we live in indeed.

    1. Mason

      This has been the way of the world for thousands of years. The Magna Carta was supposed to make even Kings beholden to the rule of law. Doesn’t seem to have worked.

      1. MSG Eric

        Well, from what I’ve read about it the Magna Carta was signed to make the Barons feel like they had more say in how things work. King John signed it to appease them and didn’t follow it anyway?

        Maybe she made out with Chelsea Clinton in a white house closet once which is why she thinks she’s special and exempt from the law?

    2. desert

      Han ’em all and let God sort them out!! 😉

  8. 2/17 Air Cav

    “I’m not saying what she did is right, but it seems of late the concept of equal treatment under the law is more of lie than it’s been historically.” As someone once told me when I was a kid, “It is a crime here to sleep inder a bridge.” He then asked me, “Who sleeps under bridges?” I didn’t get it at the time, but it wasn’t too long before i did.

    As for Missy Moo-Moo, she was a linguist but not a cunning one. She was easily caught. They say prison makes many people worse. Perhaps she will learn to become a cunning linguist there.

    1. Veritas Omnia Vincit

      Nah she’ll just become a better a predator, that’s what our prisons do. They teach people how to be better predators, they don’t reform or rehabilitate anyone these days.

      The concept of a prison serving the dual purpose of punishment and training to re-integrate into society seems long lost as we have decided that prison for profit is a good thing.

      Once we as a society decided prisoners were a commodity that created a profit center it was clear we would need a continuing stream of revenue to maintain profitability. It’s not surprising as a consequence that rehabilitation is no longer a concern and no one cares about recidivism because they make money off of recidivism.

      For revealing secrets I’m good with her being hung until dead. Don’t misunderstand my position here, but I’m sick and tired of low level fucktards taking the brunt of the law when the actual criminals in the hierarchy walk free among us.

    2. Mayhem

      Ha ha ha I get it! Cunning linguist ….cunnilingus? Okay maybe I don’t get it after all. Someone? Anyone? Hello! is this thing on?

      1. 5th/77thFA

        She’d best become a “smart interpreter” very quickly. Also practice your muff diving, and breathing thru your ears skills. Might be needed on cell block 69.

  9. Ex-PH2

    That wry twist of her thin lips demonstrates clearly that she ain’t too bright to begin with.

    I hope she enjoys her time in her soon-to-be permanent environment and makes use of it to contemplate her failures as a human bean.

    1. Roh-Dog

      BLUF: screw her, she should see her 60’s behind bars, BUT…
      She ain’t stupid.
      I bet it’s the case where she believes she far more intelligent than the people she was sworn to take orders from. Memory serves she made statements as such.
      Reality is just a self-absorbed little c-word.

  10. JURASSICHM

    The Obama administration prosecuted more people for leaks than all prior administrations combined. The so called transparency advocates were silent. This schlong sock gets busted,rightfully so and people go nuts. Her Mom whines and complains that they are making an example of her. Duh!

    1. SFC D

      Yes, mom, they ARE making an example of your darling daughter! That’s how this works. Your daughter commits a crime, gets caught, goes to jail. People see this, and most of them think to themselves “Self, this is a bad thing. Do not do as she hath done, for it shall end badly”.

      Here endeth the lesson.

    2. USMC Steve

      Jurassichm, where did you get that information?

    1. 5JC

      Guess she will be losing all those guns.

  11. 100E

    I’m a believer that the name given us by our parents helps steer our lives. If you name your daughter Diamond, don’t complain if she becomes a stripper. With a name like “Reality”, her parents helped make her the foolish felon she became. I wonder if she has siblings, and if so, what their names are? My money is on some name like ‘Verisimilitude’

    1. RGR 4-78

      In a previous post on TAH about miss winner, I believe it was said that she changed her name to reality after she reached the age of consent.

  12. Just An Old Dog

    My wife was sitting on the couch the other night, do some reflecting and she said ” Honey you know we have some smart, good looking kids.”
    I told her ” That’s because I made you swallow all the stupid ugly ones..”

    The couch is not hat bad to sleep on…

    1. BlueCord Dad

      Thanks for the laugh JAOD!! Luckily I was not drinking my coffee when I read your post…

      1. 5th/77thFA

        snort and giggle out loud.

    2. UpNorth

      Great post, I’m thankful I had finished my coffee before I got to your post, Dog.

    3. Wireman611

      This is why we need the “like” button.

  13. Skyjumper

    “She is a former Air Force linguist…….”

    Well, since she was caught, I’ll wager that she wasn’t a very good “cunning…..linquist” (groan)

    1. MSG Eric

      my guess is she’ll become an expert cunning linguist in federal pound me in the ass prison though…..

  14. The Other Whitey

    Break the law, go to prison. Who knew?

    This twat always did sound like a retard with delusions of genius.

    1. Fyrfighter

      “This twat always did sound like a retard with delusions of ADEQUACY.”

      There, FIFY…

      BTW, how the hell do you do the “strikethrough”?

  15. Carlton G. Long

    It’s a shame she turned out badly. Silly name aside, she obviously had something going for her at some point to be able to successfully pass training in two languages that probably aren’t easy to master.

    1. 2/17 Air Cav

      Yes. She was from a shitty background and seemed to have succeeded beyond expectations…only to chuck it all away stupidly. Now, after a stint in prison, she can aspire to spraying bedbugs in a fleabag motel somewhere.

      1. 26Limabeans

        “in a fleabag motel somewhere”

        Hopefully in a country where her language skills would be useful.

        1. SFC D

          All she needs to learn is “fucky-sucky, five bucks. Me love you long time”.

          1. UpNorth

            So, you guys think that Reality is going to work for the DNC when she gets out of prison?

            1. 2/17 Air Cav

              Could be. It’s a definite yes if, somewhere along the way she has a penis implant. No name change required. Reality is pansexual.

              1. SaraSnipe

                It is a surgical procedure known as an “addadiktomy”.

  16. Green Thumb

    I am sure she will have a career in porn….

    1. MSG Eric

      That’s reality for you. Sometimes certain people can become such winners….

  17. 2/17 Air Cav

    She got five (5) years.
