Fluent in Farsi and other languages spoken in Iraq and Afghanistan, she was, in 2017, a decorated Air Force veteran working as a contractor for the National Security Agency.
She was more than smart enough to see something significant, and alarming, in a classified document on Russias efforts to hack into election-related websites and voter-registration databases in the United States. She thought it was something the public should know about.
But she also made some unwise decisions.'

Ive actually thought about how to do this because I think some Lakers are real patriots and shouldnt be punished

(15,325 posts)Who she did it for was the other questionable matter.
With her background, heisting a doc like the one she took, & on behalf of who she did it for is the issue that deserves an answer.
Assange, agent of RU, should be in prison with her.
"Oh look. Here's a damning doc outing Russia. I better give it to....ummm...Julian Assange!"
That's what happened to Ms Winner.
Ya think, if so concerned, she should have taken it to someone other than THE INTERCEPT?
Assange & Glenn Greenwald's 'The Intercept'.
Court documents filed Monday by the government did not outline which media organization the documents were leaked to, but a senior federal official told NBC that Winner is the alleged leaker of documents published by The Intercept, which described Russian attempts to hack U.S. voting systems before the 2016 presidential election.

The fking Intercept, no less.
