With a name like Reality Winner, it didn’t take long for people to track down the social media accounts of the 25-year-old woman charged with providing classified materials from the NSA to The Intercept.
The Daily Beast’s Kelly Weill, who in a tweet described Winner as “brave as hell,” talked to Winner’s mother Monday and tracked down her Twitter account by linking it to other social media accounts, where she was friends with her mom.
She's 25. Brave as hell. https://t.co/gTBgGn2wL3

It certainly didn’t take much of a survey of the @reezlie feed to figure out that the person it belong to was virulently anti-Trump, but to what degree exactly?

Sure, there are plenty of hashtags among her posts that could have come from Cher if not for her policy of not spelling out the name Trump, but one tweet that raised eyebrows showed the U.S. Air Force veteran apparently dedicating her loyalty to Iran were Trump ever to declare war.

There are many Americans protesting US govt aggression towards Iran. If our Tangerine in Chief declares war, we stand with you!

That could be problematic for Winner, as they say.

Wait, did you just declare that if America goes to war with Iran, you stand with Iran? Seriously?

Wow!! I feel bad for the brothers and sisters in our military fighting for you to even tweet your alliance with Iran

Uh, I think a U.S. citizen declaring allegiance to Iran does not look good on one's resume.

There are so many tweets in that timeline to sift through and treasure now, like this one:
@AnonymousPress what happened to the Feb 28th call for Trump to resign?
— Sara Winners (@Reezlie) March 6, 2017
Looks like YOU are going to have to "resign" to the fact that you're going to be spending quite some time in a prison cell.

Tweet from the woman that leaked the NSA document to @theintercept where she writes to the Foreign Minister of Iran. Evidence of treason? https://t.co/5ZWEbGbk5n

Nah. Hold up on the prison fantasies, everyone; The Smoking Gun says she’s no traitor.
Sorry, she's just a leaker, not a traitor. And this guy remains the most despicable reality winner… pic.twitter.com/dxxJLKUfJH

No. She is a traitor.

Leaking classified material to undermine the administration you represent is the definition of being a traitor…
— Thufir (@thufir0) June 5, 2017
By definition, she is in fact a traitor.
