What a very ethically thinking young lady!!!!

Thank You for this great interview, excellent questions and thought provoking answers- lots to think on, glad I found it here so I can rewatch!! Reality, I'm convinced that if you (or someone else)(*crickets*) hadn't spoken up when you did, Trump would have won 2020, and Ukraine would be fighting the Russian Army alone. Trump would be gearing up for a third term. Thank You, Reality, for your Action of conscience. The world thanks you.

All service members retain a human right to turn professional journalist. Restorically, the only way to address atrocities is with immediate and direct action when their moral compass steers one into corruption. We are obligated to bring awareness. It is literally written.

How do I reach her. I am air force vet. Many years in, i worked on my own to undermine, expose suicides, successful and 2 unsuccessful I took on to expose what the additude, how people were being treated as not human with no soul, feeling from the show the witnesses in Iraq, Afghanistan,and many secrets they did not want me exposing it all i did up the chain up to senators on the intelligence committee. Heads rolled( not mine)

It's a compromised interview. Not because of the interviewer or anything, but because she's been beaten down by the incessant weight of an overpowering government. She's be frankly foolish to not play ball and basically say what the government wants her to say. She either still has her prior convictions (which would frankly make the most sense, given just how strong they were in the past), or she has been bludgeoned into submission. Either way, it's hardly as if she can be open about this.

What information did she release?

[@pldean]

Reality released an NSA report of verified evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

Released classified documents to a news source about Russia attempting to help elect Trump

[@philmccracken2534]

Info that proved Russian bots were influencing the election or perception of the election results.
