The 25-year-old government contractor who was charged Monday with leaking top secret documents from the NSA is a self-described leftist whose idols include the likes of Michael Moore and Bernie Sanders. What's more, she was granted security clearance back in 2013 under President Obama.
Reality Leigh Winner’s social media posts speak for themselves, with conservative outlets pointing out her online support for groups and movements like the Islamic Society of North America. The Conservative Review summarizes:
A government contractor who was charged Monday with leaking top secret U.S. intelligence to the media appears to be a climate change activist and vociferous anti-Trump leftist who is sympathetic to the terrorist regime in Iran, according to her social media profiles.
Reality Leigh Winner, 25, was arrested by the FBI this weekend in Georgia and appeared in court Monday to face charges. Winner admitted that in early May, according to the Department of Justice affidavit, she “printed and improperly removed classified intelligence reporting” and sent that information to the media.
Also on Monday, The Intercept published a top-secret National Security Agency document related to Russian hacking efforts concerning the 2016 election. According to NBC News, Winner was the source of information for The Intercept, a far-left publication that supports American traitor Edward Snowden.
Why Winner had access to a top-secret document on Russian hacking initiatives remains a complete mystery. The DOJ affidavit did not specify how she accessed the information. [...]
Winner's Facebook profile showcases anti-Trump leanings and an apparent passion for climate-change activism.
In late January, shortly after Donald Trump became president, Winner changed her Facebook cover photo to an image of a tweet by “Rogue NASA” that stated: “Advocating for climate science and environmental protection is the most pro-life you can be. The future of the planet depends on it. #resist”
Another Twitter account reportedly belonging to Winner also reveals the leaker siding with the Iranian regime over the United States:
As a nation we must truly ask ourselves why those who commit acts of treason are so rarely subjected to the harshest penalties allowed under 18 U.S. Code § 2381.
