Billie Winner-Davis, Reality Winner's mother, told Business Insider on Tuesday that President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, is attempting legal representation to aid the former Air Force language analyst contractor and Kingsville native Reality Winner with her case.
Winner pleaded guilty in 2018 to leaking classified National Security Agency information on Russia's alleged efforts to interfere with the 2016 election. She was found guilty of violating the U.S. Espionage Act and sentenced to five years in prison at the Federal Medical Center-Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas.
In 2016 following her separation from six years of active duty, Winner was hired by Pluribus International Corporation under an NSA contract to work out of Fort Gordon, Georgia.
According to ABC News, Winner printed a classified report detailing how Russian hackers allegedly “executed cyber espionage operations” on local election systems and mailed the documents to The Intercept.
She was arrested on June 3, 2017.
Amazing! Thank you. My daughter Reality Leigh Winner is yet another victim of this admin. Doing hard time for bringing the truth to light. #FreeRealityWinnerhttps://t.co/wU0sg3LeRs
Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to campaign violations and tax fraud in 2018, began serving his sentence in May 2019 at the federal penitentiary in Otisville, New York.
He has been under house arrest since July over coronavirus concerns.
Military.com stated that Reality’s mother sent a Twitter message that said “Cohen has asked another attorney to look at the case and for opportunities to help.”

A while ago, I wrote about sandboxie. The Website describes this program much better than I could, so let's read what they had to say, and we will continue our report.
Think of your PC as a piece of paper. Every program you run writes on the paper. When you run your browser, it writes on the paper about every site you visited. And any malware you come across will usually try to write itself into the paper.
Traditional privacy and anti-malware software try to locate and erase any writings they think you would not want on the paper. Most of the times they get it right. But first the makers of these solutions must teach the solution what to look for on the paper, and also how to erase it safely.
On the other hand, the Sandboxie sandbox works like a transparency layer placed over the paper. Programs write on the transparency layer and to them it looks like the real paper. When you delete the sandbox, it's like removing the transparency layer, the unchanged, real paper is revealed.
Our Report :
As I indicated earlier, there was a problem with Firefox. I went from a nice 4-13% utilization to a whooping %100 , and it stayed there (pinned), everytime Firefox was started. Memory was okay, and did not appear to be a problem.
After installing the Firefox extensions Flashblock 1.5.5a & FasterFox 2.0 , I did notice a little improvement in my speed, however it was barely noticable. I was also able to confirm that it was flash addon that was causing Firefox to act strangely. I can not live without my Flash Player, so we looked into this even further ...
Some how I came up with the idea to Search for 'MacroMedia' , and get the computer to tell me where in the Hard Drives it was used or mentioned. It looked like I needed to re-install my flash at this point, but I wanted to see what exactly was going on here.
This is where it get's interesting :
I did find MacroMedia Player , and the sub-directories were they were suppose to be.
I also saw some (not all) entries in my Sandbox Directory ! -- Wooh ! This can not be !
I told my sandbox to release all the programs to the system before, it shutdown, but I must have missed a step here someplace !
In the past it worked great. I really believe this one was a human error. [argh.....]
The easiest way to fix this problem was to un-install MacroMedia and all it's products. So I did. My snitch program said, 13 files out of my system32 were deleted when I rebooted.
Do I wish to restore ?
No. Then I got online again, and had Firefox 2.0.0.6 automatically install the missing plugins. It went in, without a hitch.
My Blog uses flash in the header. The very 1st thing you see. So I could easily see if it was working correctly. It was, but I did notice a change.
My CPU monitor now shows from %51 - 69% , which sounds about right, since I have other jobs in the background, and all went back to normal. When I am not pounding on the keyboard we are at a very nice %26 utilization.
My point, this is my first line of defense. Sandboxie is good for : Files, Disk Devices, Registry Keys, Process and Thread objects, Driver objects, etc .....
If you are not using this program , I highly recommend it. Just becareful to the questions it ask's you !
[hahahaa, I shoud talk right ?]
Note : Firefox 2.0.0.6 Never gave me any indication something was wrong.
