President Trump - Pardon Whistle-Blower Reality Leigh Winner!
We Will Not Leave Reality Leigh Winner Behind – On her birthday December 4
th
join the call of Stand
with Reality, Veterans for Peace, Courage to Resist, Code Pink, About Face, Roots Action, Freedom
of the Press Foundation and many other organizations for a pardon by President Trump.
Ms. Winner had been charged under the Espionage Act, a 100-year-old statute originally designed for
spies and saboteurs aiding foreign governments in time of war,
with leaking a document about
Russian interference in the 2016 election
to
The
Intercept
, an on-line news organization.
On June 26,
2018 Ms. Winner, in agreement with her defense attorneys, entered a guilty plea to the espionage
charge in the Federal District Court of Georgia in Augusta and on August 23, 2018 she was
sentenced to sixty-three months in jail and three years of supervised probation thereafter. That leaves
a presidential pardon or commutation of sentence as the only serious remedies left.
This is the stiffest sentence ever given to a civilian whistle-blower.
We believe the sentence against
Ms. Winner is grossly disproportionate to her offense and is designed to create a chilling effect on
investigative journalism by dissuading sources from sharing information that is critical to the public
interest.
Under Article II, Section 2, The President...
shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for
Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
We urge you to add your signature to the pardon campaign. Timing is important: Pardon Reality
Winner
