   In the summer of 2017, a 25-year-old government contractor   
   exposed detailed evidence of Russian interference in the 2016   
   election. Reality Winner printed out classified U.S.   
   Intelligence documents, hid the papers in her pantyhose as she   
   left work and then put them in the mail to The Intercept. The   
   report they published was the first piece of concrete evidence   
   shared with the public proving that the United States possessed   
   tangible evidence that Russians hackers attacked American voting   
   systems.   
      
   After The Intercept published the story — complete with scans of   
   the original papers — authorities immediately traced the leak   
   back to Reality Winner. She was arrested, denied bail and is now   
   serving five years in a federal prison. Kerry Howley wrote an in-   
   depth profile of Reality Winner for New York Magazine and joins   
   to share the compelling story of who Winner is, why she did it   
   and the severe treatment she's received at the hands of the   
   United States government.   
      
   KERRY HOWLEY: It's about, in the wake of 9/11, this massive   
   secret state that we build that's outside of democratic   
   processes. It's not accountable to anyone. We don't even know   
   what it costs necessarily. That's massively geographically   
   distributed and involves 100,000 of our fellow Americans who go   
   to work every day and can't tell their families what they do.   
   And it's like, who are those people, right? And we picture 60-   
   year-old white men who are grim in suits. But no, there are   
   people like Reality Winner. There are young people, people who   
   have been pulled into this world that's completely hidden.   
      
   CHRIS HAYES: Hello and welcome to Why Is This Happening? with   
   me, your host, Chris Hayes.   
      
   So, there's basically three prongs to Russian interference in   
   the 2016 election — two of which we basically have comprehensive   
   knowledge about (or a lot of knowledge about), and one of which   
   remains somewhat murky and occluded.   
      
   The first is the hacking of emails, right? They hacked the DNC   
   server, they hacked John Podesta's email — who's the campaign   
   chair, I think, for the Hillary Clinton campaign. Those emails   
   then were distributed via WikiLeaks and they drove huge amounts   
   of press coverage, were very damaging to the Clinton campaign.   
   We know about that thanks to both forensic reports from private   
   firms, from statements put up by the intelligence agencies, and   
   also most comprehensively the Mueller indictments that walk   
   through the hacking operation.   
      
   The lying whore stole government secrets.  She should have been   
   raped to death.
