A leaked document shows that the NSA investigated apparent Russian attempts to take control of some US voting systems before the 2016 election.

Assuming this document was not intended as a red herring, it means that the NSA is sincere about suspecting Russian sabotage attempts.

The person who leaked the document is Reality Winner, who will probably be imprisoned for 10 years for it.

If it takes the knowledge and careful planning of a Snowden to leak documents to the public and not be imprisoned, we won't have enough whistleblowers, and that turns democracy into an empty shell.

Snowden: prosecution of an alleged source for journalism on a charge of "espionage" is a threat to the free press.

Maybe that's why the troll did it. He is against almost everything that protects Americans from his own power.

I think The Intercept showed bad practices in handling the letter it received. It should have shredded the envelope before reading what was inside.
