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.”

Microsoft Calls for Verb to be Erased From Dictionary

Microsoft Calls for Verb to be Erased From Dutch Dictionary
Using the verb 'MSN-ing' as a synonym for sending messages through an instant messenger will no longer be allowed by the Microsoft Corporation. One day before the lawsuit against Carola Eppink (Unicaresoft), Microsoft Corporation requested the Dutch dictionary 'Van Dale' remove the verb 'msn-ing' from the latest edition.
The marketing machine Microsoft Corporation has succeeded in making MSN a generic term. In common slang 'msn-ing' became a synonym for sending messages through an Instant Messenger. Microsoft are now demanding the removal of this verb from the 'Van Dale' in order to stop the term MSN from being used by other companies as a brand name.
It hasn't been easy for Microsoft during this lawsuit. When Microsoft was confronted with existing msn domain names such as; msncam.com, msntest.com, msn-beta.com and 62 others they tried to convince the judge that they were not familiar with this list. The judge was astonished with this statement and pointed out that Microsoft should 'Google' more.
Unicaresoft confidently pleaded the necessity of registering the domain name MSNLOCK to be able to appropriately inform parents about their solution for the excessive use of Chat and Internet among children. According to Dutch legislation this is only permitted by means of 'referring to trademark' and in cases when there are no other alternative possibilities.
Gerard Ghazarian from Unicaresoft comments: "How can we consider an alternative name for our product when 90% of internet chat takes place through MSN?"
According to Carola Eppink this defense of Microsoft confirms her belief that this lawsuit is not particularly about the registration of a domain name, but more about her product Benzoy. With Benzoy parents easily can regulate the use of MSN and other chat programs. Carola says: "This lawsuit will not have a positive effect on the advertisement income of Windows Live Messenger and handing over the domain MSNLOCK will strongly decrease the possibility of reaching the concerned parents who are searching for the solution."
Nevertheless it seems to be that the judge has a difficult task. On the 7th of May the judge will pronounce the sentence regarding MSNLOCK.
"(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."
