Ok so now let's talk about the recently released NSA documents. If you're not familiar with the situation so far, a NSA contractor employee leaked documents from the NSA that detailed the """Russian Hacking Effort Days Before 2016 Election""" to The Intercept.

theintercept.com/2017/06/05/top-secret-nsa-report-details-russian-hacking-effort-days-before-2016-election/

The absolute cunts at The Intercept in an attempt to verify the legitimacy of the documents literally gave the documents to an NSA employee who denied their legitamacy at first while turning around to contact the authorities that The Intercept had these confidential documents. The Intercept then went to get a second opinion from another official source who affirmed that these NSA documents were real. (twitter.com/wikileaks/status/871924646148534273) The sloppiness in the OPSEC in pursuit to verify the documents easily gave away the identity of Reality Winner who is now in the hands of the FBI. Apparently she admitted everything without a lawyer present and is properly fucked.

As to the content of the documents, you can read them yourself but I urge you to take note of the section that clearly states, once again, this could be huge against Russia or this could be absolutely nothing. Wikileaks also has a $10k bounty out for exposure of the retarded """journalist""" who was responsible for this.

Somehow I can't help but find this whole thing suspicious. I can't put my finger on why.

Wasn't this girl a completely inflammatory retard?
Why should I believe her?

Actually I think it's that she 'leaked' a report with practically nothing in it before immediately confessing to doing it.

I also want to remind everyone of the Wikileaks CIA release from earlier this year that exposed that the CIA is more than capable of creating and distributing attacks while falsely attributing them to any entity they please. The software is there to prove it along with test examples they ran in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi.

If you couldn't tell there are a few things I'm very passionate about and this is one of them. This whole ordeal has me in a bad mood.

there's definitely some shit going on

unless I missed something she just seemed like a Bernie supporter turned "resistance" normie

I see the idpol has already been activated.

I just have so many questions. Did the reporter she released this to act on their own? I feel like The Intercept or at the least Glenn Greenwald would know better and have better channels for obscuring the identity of the leaker.

Why The Intercept and not Wikileaks? Has the media fear mongering of Russia/Wikileaks collusion made her second guess that Wikileaks would publish them out of bias?

I want to strangle PJW.

wtf Intercept. I'd expect a lot better from you and your reporters with the good shit you pump out daily. I am so mad right now. SO FUCKING MAD RIGHT NOW.

I assume kanye deleted the tweet she was responding to months ago but you can tell he's reaching
