November 8th 2016 the United States of America elected their 45th president; Donald Trump. In the years that followed, the talk about Russian interference in those elections dominated the news and got its own very detailed (over thirty-thousand words, seventy pages) Wikipedia article.
Reality Winner in 2017 through the Intercept disclosed a secret NSA report that detailed how: ‘Russian military intelligence executed a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials just days before last November’s presidential election’.
She became the signature whistleblower case under the Trump administration, however there is no reference on that Wikipedia page about Reality Winner at all, nor is there any mention about what was in the report. The report can still be found online on the website of the Intercept (here).
Bailey Lamon and Rico Brouwer are writing a book called ‘the Book of Courage’ about -and with- Whistleblowers like Thomas Drake and John Kiriakou. One of the red threads they found through those accounts is the way those that come forward to speak truth get silenced, smeared and intimidated once they become a whistleblower.
Through people like Drake and Kiriakou we were able to learn about that from a first hand perspective. But there are whistleblowers that have not yet gotten their voice back. Reality Winner is one of those. She was silenced from day one and convicted under the espionage act to a 5 year and 3 month prison sentence. The longest to date for any US whistleblower.
In this 90 minute interview we talked to Reality Winners mom, her sister and her friend. They tell us about what happens when someone dares tell the truth about Russian interference in the American elections, and what happens to their loved ones.
