Surprise! Another Deeply embedded progressive mole. On the Mueller Mob. Her face smacks of the same vacant dysfunction displayed by all the other "activists" who scream, harass and assault.

Another lib who should be prosecuted. Although Omarosa secretly recording meetings in the White House situation room was worse and nothing happened to her.

Hey guys. This person was not a leaker or scumbag. When the left leaks it's nothing but glorious patriotism. OK? Please repeat after me:
Lefties can do whatever they please because they are morally superior to us all. It's not that hard. Just watch CNN for more brain programming. But if you don't have the time,just remember:
Democrats=good and righteous (no mobs!!)
Republicans:evil racists and bigots

Apparently doing the Snowden thing. Had a flash drive to which she'd transferred over 24,000 files. Had it on her when she was arrested.
