Reality Winner, 26, is the whistleblower accused of releasing an NSA document on Russia’s attack on U.S. voting systems to reporters at The Intercept.
She has been charged under the Espionage Act for leaking information that led to unresponsive government officials taking notice, and then taking action, to protect the integrity of America’s elections.
Today, news broke that she is expected to plead guilty in court on Tuesday.

I'll admit, I don't understand why the Reality Winner case has gotten so much less attention than other whistleblower prosecutions. Especially given the relevance to other Russia news and the impact of the release. https://t.co/mfAvM6lykN
