Marvelous analysis, Louise. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to correct people who post the "free RW" dribble - so many otherwise well-meaning, blue check and even celebrity accounts. Thank you for laying this out for us.

I am/was one of the well meaning advocates of early release 4 Winner. Well, I've been educated now. Thank you.

Meh. It’s all bullsh*t. If this was such a “mole-traitor-treasonous-evil-satan-spy”, why was she let off so easily. Answer that.

So, where to from here? She's been released. Surely she's useless as a spy now. GRRRRRRR. What other kind of treason can she get into?

This was a fascinating read. I’ve always read that she was hung out to dry by G Greenwald and The Intercept as well as an unwitting pawn.

It never made sense. This makes much more sense. Thank you
