A US government contractor has been arrested on suspicion of leaking top-secret information to a news outlet.
Reality Leigh Winner, 25, allegedly removed classified material from a federal site in the state of Georgia.
The charges were announced shortly after news website The Intercept published a National Security Agency briefing about alleged Russian meddling in last year’s election.
The Trump administration has been seeking to fight leaks to the media.
Ms Winner was arrested on 3 June, the justice department said.

She is a contractor with Pluribus International Corporation and had been employed at an NSA facility in Georgia since February.
The accused faces a count of “gathering, transmitting or losing defence information”.
Ms Winner was vocal in her opposition to President Trump on social media, using the hashtag #NeverMyPresident in one post and an expletive in reference to his plans for a border wall.

Told ya a couple years ago.
Pictures of words speak words too.
Good Lord Almighty! Look at that doorway behind old Jake Fisher! That was right after Dad got home from Japan and bought that Willys Jeep and a real camera instead of the one he made when he was a kid.
See Mo Booty people love this one… especially the Fishers.
It looks like there is some message on a wall behind where the man is standing.
I cannot quite make it out.
Is that, “Epstein did not…”?
That is the doorway leading into Jake Fisher’s old store which was across the road from my Uncle Tyree’s home. Dad was standing beside my uncle when he took that photo. Both of them just home from World War II.
I thought it said Epstein was here.
I’m a bit out of practice with the videos. JC was/is right about the editing being the hardest part. I contacted one of my old co-editors and asked her if she would like to live in my barn and edit the Coonskin Chronicles.
She would, but Oklahoma is already locked down, as is Missouri, technically, with the governor rolling over like France.
But, I have a bunch of old maps my father hand drew that show all the roads and bridges that are no longer maintained because he was on the Road District Board for almost 60 years. So, with a Jeep and an ATV, I can pretty much go anywhere I want to go and nobody needs to know.
Dos Boot (that I collected money for my son’s college fund in?) dropped and broke on Valentine’s Day. Weird.
It is the day I promoted the Coonskin to red rope.
OK, If printers are adding these dot codes to track a printed document back to the printer that produced it, how can you detect them and where are they concealed on the document? Lets have more in depth information rather than simple accusation. If that can’t be supplied then I would like to suggest the blood in your body is really green and not red.
I like the old photo and the song MG!
Nice Jeep! I really like that model.
Since 2004 it’s known printers are doing so. A quick Google search brings it up. But details are as the newspaper from yesterday. Possibilities are endless to hide information in thousands of dots. No additional printing needed, the pattern of the dots is just slightly altered. Every printer will be different. A Firmware update may implement the feature remotely over night. As a user, you can’t know. Your digital cameras may produce watermarked images too. If someone is busted, he may never know such technology has been used to track him.
How about the dot matrix printers? Even though the printer could add a dot randomly on the page they would be easier to detect. The bottom line is there is nothing as safe as a good old face to face.
B. I. N. G. O.
I am so glad I established meet and greet places with people at a few isolated locations a few weeks ago.
The Patriot’s Paddle is on my father’s grave.
The Go Away sign is beneath the Welcome sign, but you have to be on the porch to see it so if I really want you to go away, you already heard the gunshot by then.
It is why one should use a hosting service to post pictures, but you are right. Digital cameras do it too.
That is why you use cash. And place in a sealed room so no wifi connection can send info. Same with the laptop. Buy it used from nobody you know. Wipe it clean then use it. Never get on line and never be near wifi etc. Or buy an old typewriter…Paper also has coding imbedded into it….
Mr. Galt? I discovered last year that chipped hundred dollar bills are easy to track and find in postal packages AND by policemen who are overly interested in your boxes and containers in the cars.
I told people here. I suppose they may have paid attention but they were distracted by a hideous dead animal I was carrying around with me as if I were a troglodyte.
As a matter of fact, I was told by three people here that “people” here at TBP were not one bit happy about my coonskin idea. Not one bit.
And, this is where the “what this particular rant is about” gets tossed out with rolled eyes because that is the deflection gesture that says “ignore her.”
I said I know.
I asked about leverage and that issue was never addressed either.
LOL… did you see the poster to the right of Prince Albert? Did you ever prank call about Prince Albert in a can? Now, we can prank about Prince Harry in Canada.
L.A. now.
Haha. Then let him out!
Is L.A. in complete lockdown? The state of Missouri supposedly is and I’m absolutely shocked at how people are just accepting it. My neighbor would not walk with me even on the other side of the road because her daughter wants her to be completely safe. I honor that.
However, it became a good opportunity to walk alone and meet some of the “new” neighbors. One is a 30ish woman with two children, age 7 and 10 months. We are on a first-name basis and I’ve decided to be Mizz Martha now.
I think a bunny ministry is in order for local churches.
Cali is in lock down, whole state. Colorado is through the 11th. My county is more restrictive. I’ve been outside house 6 times in last month due to an injury. Wife of home depot worker posted on neighborhood site that we should all stay home and keep from being a vector to infect her hubby. only emergency shopping to fix a toilet, etc. 42 replies agreed with her. today was warm. We took car to custard drive thru for a treat. I put on mask as I approached window to reassure window girl.
When I was active duty, I received, tracked, filed, updated and destroyed classified documents as an “additional duty” SEFE (Stan Eval Flight Examiner). I was, in fact, the publications manager for the 28th Air Division before they downgraded us to a wing.
Lets have more in depth information rather than simple accusation. If that can’t be supplied then I would like to suggest the blood in your body is really green and not red.
There are many, many ways to hide information in printed documents. It is why I shredded some, then carefully bagged the shreddings, then took them to the burn facility where a strange little man would give me certified papers that gave me great relief to file with the boss, who was field grade officer who knew only to berate me if it wasn’t done, not why I was doing it.
It is highly classified and I was told to forget it all.
So I did.
Our navigator supervised radioman burning microfiche in coffee can stop sub in port. he ordered topside watch to shoot any crew that approached. Overkill.
MG, Have you ever seen this version?

i will check it out
I love it. And, guess what? I think we just got punched by China.
I just learned the Post Office is asking people to print their own labels at home and the post office will pick up the packages at your home.
Of course, we all know certain things cannot be mailed via US Post Office without declaration.
I know I am glad I mailed to packages to Maryland and my stepson last week. I had a feeling it was the last Post Office run outta Vietnam.
I realize you really smart fuckers think it will all be okay once the market settles down, but I got news for you. We are under Martial Law and it ain’t gonna end by itself.
You Tube has already switched over to the STAY HOME protocol.
So has the US Post Office who will come to your home to get your labelled package.
Soon, grocery and big box store items because Walmart is going to limit the number of people in their stores and which days which people can come into the stores.
and what for!
I’m trying to upload the videos but the connection out here in nowhere is slow.
Someone should give EC a login and i’ll send him links and he can decide if they are TBP-worthy. He’s been here a lot longer than I. It was that El Coyote moniker that invited this cowgirl in the door and that lumberjack dude who made me want to stay.
Where the hell is Bea Attitude? I am gonna need a good Kentucky Moonshiner!
Oh, I don’t attend any of these churches, but somehow, they don’t mind me just walking in. I seem to be part of the family.
and Odin…
