Sen. Warner just said yesterday that efforts to safeguard our election systems have been hampered by secretiveness and that more of the reports about hacking into election systems should have been declassified and made public sooner and that too much info is still being withheld from public. So yes, Reality Winner seems to have had good intentions and thought she was a whistleblower trying to provide warning to the public about Russian hacking. But her involvement with Glenn Greenwald and Intercept to release the classified info was serious mistake and she should have known that revealing that info could have compromised our ongoing investigations into Russian interference.
