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.”

It looks like feedburner and the new Google stats are looking at the same issue.
In that the numbers are not going to be accurate, and not accurate depending on where you are in their system, and how they read/rank the blog or site you are working from.
Here is how some of the RSS readers report subscriber numbers:
Bloglines will count anyone who is currently subscribed to your blog even if they have not viewed your blog feed ever as a subscriber.
Google will count anyone who is currently subscribed to your blog even if they have not viewed your blog feed ever as a subscriber.
Microsoft's Live.com does not appear to share subscriber numbers.
Netvibes will count anyone who is currently subscribed to your blog even if they have not viewed your blog feed ever as a subscriber.
NewsGator will count anyone who is currently subscribed to your blog even if they have not viewed your blog feed ever as a subscriber.
Pageflakes will count anyone who is currently subscribed to your blog even if they have not viewed your blog feed ever as a subscriber.
Rojo will count anyone who is currently subscribed to your blog even if they have not viewed your blog feed ever as a subscriber.
Yahoo requires that the subscribed user has viewed (logs into My Yahoo or Yahoo Mail) your feed within 30 days to be counted as a subscriber.
Here’s how Rick Klau answered the question of feed stats:
When we report a subscriber number, that represents the total number of individuals who had the feed requested on their behalf on that day.
Most of these subscribers fall into one of two groups:
those using a stand-alone feed reader
those using a web-based feed reader
In the case of stand-alone feed readers, that user has an application running on their computer which fetches the feed repeatedly throughout the day. We look at characteristics of those requests, and differentiate between repeated requests from the same person (as indicated by regular polling intervals, consistent IP addresses, and common user agents) and different requests (where one or more of the previous data points vary).
In the case of web-based feed readers (My Yahoo, Google Reader, Bloglines, Pageflakes, etc.), those services retrieve the feed repeatedly throughout the day, but do so on behalf of multiple people. Almost all of these services report to us how many of their users are subscribed to the feed. At the end of the day, we tally up how many stand-alone feed readers are subscribed, and add them to the web-based users. The end result is the total subscriber number we report.
The fluctuations are almost always due to people using stand-alone computers who do not turn their computer on, or do not load their feed reader on a given day. If their feed reader does not ask for the feed that day, we do not see them, and consequently do not include them as a subscriber.
Other explanations are when a site gets Dugg - large spikes in traffic, at least when some of the visitors are using older versions of browsers, may result in us being unable to differentiate between browser accesses of the feed and the browsers feed reader accessing the feed. A more detailed explanation of this phenomenon is here .
As you can see there is no "Standard" applied. Look at the variables here there are so many in this equation :
Your Page Rank
Different Services Count Differently
How your Feed is accessed
Each Service Submitting a "Grand Total" to Feedburner at the end of the day
Spikes From Digg
I can see why we have fluctuating RSS totals.
So, the final answer to the question we received :
"What's the average readership of most blogs out there ? "
I have no idea. Out of the 5 variables listed, any one of them could "Spike" your feed making it appear much higher than it actually is. This is going to be a topic , the net talks about for a while.
Even site owners, are not completely sure about their facts. I am sure everything posted here is correct, however, if you ask me for an average readership, your guess is as good as mine. This is after hours of research, and alot of reading, that I can say " I just do not know".
"(Biden’s) own chief of staff, Ron Klain, would say last year that it was pure luck, that they did ‘everything possible wrong’ (with H1N1). And we learned from that."
"There are estimates that by the end of the term of this administration, they will have lost more jobs than almost any other presidential administration."
That Rose Garden event — there's been a great deal of speculation about it — my wife Karen and I were there and honored to be there. Many of the people who were at that event, Susan, were actually tested for coronavirus, and it was an outdoor event, which all of our scientists r...
