WikiLeaks also tweeted a link to what appears to be her Twitter account. It's filled with a lot of anti-Trump content, so there's the motivation for the leaks, I suppose...

Quote:A US government contractor has been arrested on suspicion of leaking top-secret information to a news outlet.

Reality Leigh Winner, 25, allegedly removed classified material from a government facility in the US state of Georgia.

The charges were announced shortly after the Intercept published a National Security Agency briefing about alleged Russian political meddling.

The Trump administration has been railing against leaks to the media.

Ms Winner was arrested on 3 June, the justice department said.

She is a contractor with Pluribus International Corporation and had been employed at an NSA facility in Georgia since February, reports NBC News.

The accused faces a count of "gathering, transmitting or losing defence information", according to the network.

I think the press will do a better job of investigating the feds than the feds. More power to her! She has a nice name too.

Indeed.

Also, this entire Trump debacle reminds me too much of a government espionage action movie, the precise type of genre I abhor viewing.

Furthermore, this woman is a prime example of what I meant in my thread regarding morality. Sometimes, one must do something wrong in order to ensure that something right is accomplished in the end. After all, we cannot rely upon our own government to properly handle certain situations and keep us adequately informed. Therefore, those who leak pertinent information to the public are heroes, as far as I am concerned.

Quote:Michael Moore: Why I’m Launching a Site for Trump Whistleblowers
Patriotic Americans need an outlet to help protect their country from tyranny.

Donald Trump thinks he’s above the law. He acts like he’s the above the law. He’s STATED that he’s above the law. And by firing Sally Yates, Preet Bharara and James Comey (3 federal officials with SOME authority to hold him accountable) he’s taken the first few steps to make it official.

And yet, we keep hearing the same reaction to President Trump that we heard with candidate Trump after every new revelation or screw up - “He’s toast!” “He can’t survive this!” “He’s finished!”

Make no mistake - Donald J. Trump has NO intention of leaving the White House until January 20, 2025. How old will you be in 2025? That's how long he plans to be your president. How much damage will have been done to the country and the world by then?

And that is why we must act.

Yes, yes we all know how Nazis react to those who love their country and look to make it better. Go back to Stormfront.

Why would Trump supporters/voters be charged with treason? I doubt that even Trump himself would be charged with something like that, or even impeached in the first place.
