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

Our last site review today is Save Our Forest. But before I go into this , I want to take a moment to talk for 1 second ...
I just got done reading about Whaling , polar bears and climate changes from the major news networks. Although they were interesting they did not satisfy my apatite for news, so I decided to try another source of information I could get some quality information and research fromSave Our Forest.
When I got there I was shocked. Everything I just spent time looking up, was laid right out in front of me all on the Homepage. Why I did not stop by sooner is beyond me (GRIN). The last 3 topics I searched for where complete in detail , and all available to me in 1 click.
As Twinsherry never ceases to amaze me with the quality of her postings, I find her site quite relaxing to visit for both my eye's and ears.
Now on to the Goodies I found. One thing I was not aware of was that in eight years are left to curb catastrophic climate change. This was a real attention grabber, as sometimes I forget the simple things in life.
Along with an excellent stories she provides information of where her research comes from, adding to her impeccable credentials. As I find myself reading her entire homepage, I am left with the feeling of wanting more information on top of an already excellent read fueling my appetite even more.

This site is a bookmarker for sure. If you can not visit Save Our Forest as much as you like, get her feeds as this quality of information you need not miss. OS9USER
