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.”

Is MPD INTEL any good? Did they know about the Looting on So Willow before it Happened ?
June 03, 2020
The MPD is aware of social media posts regarding upcoming protests. Other than an Alarm at the Mall of N.H., it remained relatively mostly quiet on So. Willow St last night. Protestors just set a few dumpster fires and threw objects at Police Cars. Now, here's to the part not everyone knows. There were rumors that there was going to be a protest on So. Willow St Yesterday afternoon. However, since we were unable to confirm any of the reports, we held the story. (NO FACTS, NO STORY) Reports (Vivid) came in yesterday around Noon, that a group of protestors was going to Loot South Willow Street stores yesterday. We believe Gov Sunu was also notified of possible hostile actions that were brewing in Manchester. We did receive an Email stating that MPD was monitoring all Social Media Sites & MPD posted something similar on Twitter yesterday.
"We are closely monitoring all social media & we are working with our federal partners, the State EOC & our local counterparts. We take this seriously & we will do everything that is needed to protect our community."
1:36am The S Willow Street crowd has left the area. A couple dumpster fires were taken care of by MFD. We want to thank all of the agencies that assisted us tonight. NHSP, Southern NH Spec Operations Unit, Nashua PD, National Guard, Hillsborough Sheriff & the FBI.

What was interesting is each side gave a tip of what was going to happen, but neither side showed there hand. What a poker face! Up to 10 or more people were arrested on South Willow Last Night. The violence started around 11 pm. As a decoy, there were small gatherings on Elm & Auburn and smaller ones around the City. Here is what is Surprising ! The Time: It appears they waited until 11 pm to start gathering. Normally, at this hour the city is very quiet, so any gatherings would be a sitting duck for Manchester Police. And the Location: If looters got into the Mall of N.H. they would have a field day, to say the least. Other than an alarm at Macy's at 1500 So Willow, there were no other problems at the Mall (as far as I can tell). My guess is when the Alarm went off at Macy's, MPD responded in a sizable force. They must have shown the protesters there hand (resources) they had in the area. This served as a deterrent, while only a hand full of people actually broke the law. How good is MPD Intelligence? Well anyone can monitor social media. That's easy. But to gather actual (usable) INTEL is harder. I suspect they had an informant (or possibly) a tip to the events that where suppose to happen last night. Manchester doesn't have the resources to drop all its eggs in one basket. Meaning if the entire force is on (or patrolling) So Willow St, the rest of the City would be left un-guarded from hungry Looters. But with the aid of NHSP, Southern NH Spec Operations Unit, Nashua PD, National Guard, Hillsborough Sheriff & the FBI they can effectively cover the entire street while safeguarding Manchester's Vital business's as well. To answer the Question, Manchester's Police has the most advanced Cyber Division in the State. They can track your EFP (Electronic Finger Print). Once they have it, its just a simple phone call to get a location. If looter's used this as a means of communication, it would have been intercepted easily by Manchester Police. In addition, the amount of resources dedicated to this task indicates they knew it was coming. They probably just did not know when. Well Done MPD OS9USER
