The FBI thinks it's found the person who leaked top secret intelligence about Russia.
'NBC News confirmed that 25-year-old Reality Leigh Winner was arrested on charges involving the leak
of a top-secret National Security Agency document to The Intercept that detailed a Russian hacking
operation targeting US voting systems.
Winner was hired by Pluribus International Corporation in early February and held top secret security
clearance, the Justice Department said. The company's clients include the Defense Intelligence Agency,
US Army, and US Central Command.

The FBI special agent who wrote the affidavit in support of Winner's arrest alleges that she printed out
the document from her work computer on May 9, 2017, and mailed it to a "News Outlet."
The outlet then showed the document to the NSA -referred to as "the Government Agency" -in order to
confirm its authenticity.
"The U.S. Government Agency examined the document shared by the News Outlet and determined
the pages of the intelligence reporting appeared to be folded and/or creased, suggesting they had
been printed and hand-carried out of a secured space," the agent, Justin Garrick, wrote.
"The Government Agency conducted an internal audit to determine who accessed the intelligence
reporting since its publication," he wrote. "The U.S. Government Agency determined that six individuals
printed this reporting. WINNER was one of these six individuals.
A further audit of the six individuals' desk computers revealed that WINNER had e-mail contact with the
News Outlet. The audit did not reveal that any of the other individuals had e-mail contact with the
News Outlet."..'

'...Winner’s posts on social media over recent months suggest, however, that she, like many
other Americans, had become increasingly agitated over some extraordinary developments
in national politics.
She posted disparagingly on Facebook about Donald Trump’s pledge to build a wall along
the Mexican border, about his draconian criminal justice plans, and about his assault on the
Environmental Protection Agency. In February, she referred to the president as “piece of shit..'
It makes you wonder when Trump says 'Loser' which is the opposite of the word 'Winner'... what was
he really saying?!!!
