DOJ Charges Federal Contractor With Leaking Classified Info To Media (thehill.com)
schwit1 quotes a report from The Hill: The Department of Justice charged 25-year-old government contractor Reality Leigh Winner with sharing top secret material with a media outlet, prosecutors announced in a press release Monday. Court documents filed by the government don't specify which media outlet received the materials allegedly leaked by Winner, but NBC News reported that the material went to the Intercept online news outlet. The Intercept published a top secret NSA report Monday that alleged Russian military intelligence launched a 2016 cyberattack on a voting software company. Details on the report published by The Intercept suggest that it was created on May 5, 2017 -- the same day prosecutors say the materials Winner is charged with sharing were created. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment on whether Winner is accused of sharing the report published by the Intercept. Last month, Winner allegedly "printed and improperly removed classified intelligence reporting, which contained classified national defense information" before mailing the materials to an unnamed online news outlet a few days later, according to prosecutors.
It's called smaller government and privatization of our national security. Thank the GOP for saving a buck or two somewhere.
You're blaming the GOP for the actions of a radical, racist "progressive"?
That's a new one.
" This was political activism " She leaked evidence that Russia hacked the election and lending credibility to the fact that Trump is a traitor.
It's beyond partisanship, unless a worthless partisan faggot like you would like to live IN RUSSIA. So? Get packing, packer.
TRUMP should hang. Republicans SHOULD want to string him up for what he did, IF they had ANY BALLS OR BACKBONE OR INTELLECT WHATSOEVER.
But they're too busy being precious partisan snowflakes too afraid to admit they've hitched their wagon to a treasonous wanna-be dictator with a tiny dick.
