They figured it out because the person had emails on their *work* terminal to the Intercept -- nm* - decline Jun 5, 15:02 1
- Also they BCCd [email protected]. -- nm - Reagen Jun 5, 15:23
she used her work computer to email the news org. durr. -- nm - b. Jun 5, 14:57 1
- Not the smallest hole in the plumbing, as they say. - Beryllium Jun 5, 15:01
Hoo boy. -- nm - David Jun 5, 14:51 11
- Has The Intercept retracted? -- nm - David Jun 5, 14:56 10
  - They won't retract. In fact, I expect they hurried to publish (once they had confirmation) after learning of her Saturday arrest -- nm - ty97 Jun 5, 15:15 6
    - Well, that makes things interesting. -- nm - David's iPad Jun 5, 15:17 5
      - I'm guessing here of course, but they wouldn't publish without confirmation. And news doesn't retract if their source is busted. - ty97 Jun 5, 15:26 4
        
        Your IM is what makes the whole thing so interesting. - David's iPad Jun 5, 15:32 3
        
        With the arrest known, the presence of OpSec activities known, I'm guessing The Intercept went to a trusted source for confirmation - ty97 Jun 5, 15:34 1
        
        I like the potential knottiness of this - the intercept's story from earlier this year about wikileaks disclosing the cia's use of false flags - b. Jun 5, 15:41
        
        otoh, Reality Winner sounds like an operation's code name. -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 15:33
  - what would they be retracting? -- nm - b. Jun 5, 14:58 2
    - If it's OpSec, the information could be totally fake. It could also be 100% accurate. - David Jun 5, 15:01 1
      - ah, missed that. the story looks to be the same as it was when I skimmed it earlier, fwiw. -- nm - b. Jun 5, 15:02
WINNER! -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 14:50 3
- Tomi Lahren! -- nm - ty97 Jun 5, 14:51 2
  - since we're naming folks who don't exist, Jack Bauer -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 14:53 1
    - don't think derek zoolander would be that dumb -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 5, 15:00
NBC reporting same -- nm - ty97 Jun 5, 14:49
(based on the charges that is, of course) -- nm - ty97 Jun 5, 14:48
