zerohedge | May 5th - the date the leaked document was allegedly
created, detailing what the NSA claims are the results of an
investigation into Russian election hacking based on new information received in April. The report is weak sauce -
spend 5 minutes and read it... There is zero evidence of Russian
hacking or influence - only a thinly supported narrative about an
alleged spear phishing campaign and it's potential victims.
On May 9th, four days later - Winner printed, removed, and snail mailed this top secret classified intel which offerings absolutely zero proof to support its claims to The Intercept.
May 30th - The Intercept contacts a 'government agency' to let them know about the documents mailed
to them by the rogue NSA contractor. The online magazine then proceeds
to throw Winner under the bus by giving the NSA / FBI information which
they used to easily identify her.
June 4th - Suddenly retiring rising star family man) Jason Chaffetz says he wants to see leakers 'in handcuffs.'
June 5th - The Intercept publishes a report 'confirming' Russia hacked the election.

An hour after The Intercept publishes - the FBI arrests Winner
Let's look at what Winner's 'leak' accomplishes:
- Shifts the 'Russian Hacking' narrative away from the alleged DNC server breach and the report by 'tainted' cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. It allows the 'deep state' to maintain the assertion that Russia literally 'meddled in the election' with an actual hack via phishing scam.
- The leak addresses the growing credibility problem with 'anonymous sources.'
- Conservatives are tearing Reality Winner apart; from her SJW online footprint to her tattoos to her autographed Anderson Cooper photo - the right is showing no mercy, and the MSM will likely spin this as the 'hypocritical and abusive right denigrates Bernie Sanders supporting leaker.'
- Perhaps by design, Trump supporters may turning Winner a hero to the left - legitimizing her leak in the process.
- Seth who? Rising nationalism in response to terrorism where?
