Thing is Rachel got the fake doc with those markings before Greenwald printed it.
So someome with access to it used it to doctor up a fake document that was sent to Rachel.

In the long song of history - having someone with the name Reality Winner involved in the Trump takedown...you just can't make that up.

(19,569 posts)And before the Intercept published their article the following Monday. Forged from the same document the Intercept used.
It would be deeply irresponsible for TRMS to directly point to The Intercept. Instead she laid out what they have, what they believe to be true, and what may possibly be true as far as they can tell at this point in time.
She then left it up to us to connect the dots without any legal implications on them.

(19,569 posts)I have a post a few above which points out her technique decently. She drew the map and left us to find our way from point A to point B.

(967 posts)I absolutely hate making that type error. But, it happens.
If you are not referring to that, then I have no idea what you are talking about.

(2,897 posts)I don't think Greenwald is one of his/her heroes. He was, however, a personal fave of many here during and before the primary. "Seeing what they are really made of?" seems more like "I told you all that this guy was shit"

(24,354 posts)While the Intercept does post some good things, it's mostly a tabloid style rag that has the same Putin fixation that Trump has

(967 posts)It pisses me off to no end that so many allowed him to sucker so many, contaminating our party even more. A lot of forces cloak in all kinds of manner to disrupt the strength of the Democratic Party.

(29,740 posts)and she was jailed, so that leaves the Intercept. I wouldn't put that one past them at all. Glad Rachel is too smart for them. Now I understand what happened to CNN as well. I hope they all get swept up in the net cast by Mueller.

(29,740 posts)and it's to make Trump look good or at least okay.
Gothmog
(146,202 posts)The leaker was in jail and she gave her only copy to the Intercept.
SweetieD
(1,660 posts)called in some favors from some people he knew in fbi to see if it was real. After some discussion they determined it was real and ntercept went with the story. It was in those interactions that nsa was tipped off that a leak occurred.
Greenwald had the document for at least a month before he published the story. So a lot of people who were in the know could have seen it during that time.
Gothmog
(146,202 posts)I also believe that the only person who could have forged the letter sent to Rachel was greenwald. Greenwald is Putin supporter and is pond scum
BootinUp
(47,260 posts)That's a clean description.

(7,142 posts)but I saw it posted as a possibility;
Original document shipped to Greewald who shows it to Wikileaks who show it to Russian IC who generate a forgery to discredit Rachel as fake news. Just a thought.
