Speaker 1: Twenty five year old Reality Winner served in the Air
Speaker 1: Force for six years as a linguist, and then she
Speaker 1: went to work for a federal contractor connected with the
Speaker 1: n s A. In May, a day after she started
Speaker 1: the new job, she's accused of using her top secret
Speaker 1: clearance to download an n s A analysis of Russian
Speaker 1: attempts to influence the election. She mailed it to a
Speaker 1: left wing online publication called The Intercept. She was arrested.
Speaker 1: She was charged with violating the Federal Espionage Act. This week,
Speaker 1: she was denied bond for the second time by US
Speaker 1: Magistrate Court Judge Brian Epps. The judge found that Reality
Speaker 1: Winner acted with premeditation. Before leaving the Air Force, she
Speaker 1: had researched what could happen if a thumb drive was
Speaker 1: inserted into a top secret computer and how to anonymously
Speaker 1: send information to drive by media outlets. Judge Epps also
Speaker 1: found that Reality Winner wasn't joking as she claimed she
Speaker 1: was when she expressed hatred for America, including wanting to
Speaker 1: burn the White House down. She was not kidding. He
Speaker 1: ruled that she presents an ongoing threat to national security
Speaker 1: and is a flight risk now under Obama leakers could
Speaker 1: simply ask for a government paid sex change operation. Now,
Speaker 1: the left wing public relations campaign got on a federal
Speaker 1: prison with a pardon h Bradley Manning. But times have changed,
Speaker 1: so for now Reality Winner will stay put in a
Speaker 1: secure lock up until her trial. Sometimes, folks, reality bites
Speaker 1: and it can hurt, you know, if it's in the
Speaker 1: wrong place.
