Reality Winner, the NSA contractor who pleaded guilty to mishandling government secrets, is transferred to halfway house

Devlin Barrett 26 mins ago

Reality Winner, a former National Security Agency contractor who pleaded guilty to mishandling government secrets about Russian election interference and who has long sought a pardon, has been transferred from federal prison to the custody of a halfway house to serve the rest of her sentence, her attorney said Monday.

Winner’s transfer came on June 2 and was not part of any commutation or special treatment but a scheduled shift due to good behavior, said her attorney, Alison Grinter Allen.

While she finishes her sentence, she is likely to have the option of home confinement.

“She is in the custody of the halfway house, and the halfway house can use home confinement as part of it, but it’s all at the discretion of the halfway house,” her attorney said. “She has begun the reentry process.”

6. While I wish that she was given a commutation on her sentence when Joe came into office,

this is a positive thing.

7. No way this woman should have remained in prison

I'm glad for her release. She shouldn't require any "reentry process."

9. She was one of the easiest spies ever caught...

Fortunate to be released so soon.

11. She is not a SPY. She is a whistleblower!

13. She wasn't a spy

Good God.

10. YAY!

It's a start. One of the wrongest of the wrong convictions and disproportionate consequences.

12. My guess is that she will get a full pardon later

... when the hot spotlight isn't directly on her. Joe will pardon her as quietly as possible, when everything is settled down. That's my guess.
