In 2018, Rosie heard about a case involving a woman named Reality Winner, who was arrested and charged with sending a classified document anonymously to the news outlet The Intercept. The leaked document confirmed Russian interference in the 2016 election. In the immediate aftermath of her arrest, Winner was vilified in the press and by the sitting president and his administration. And that propelled Rosie to work even harder to find out the truth. After Rosie eventually connected with Winner's mother, and then Winner herself, a friendship of trust and support blossomed between all 3 of them. Now, with Winner out of jail —though still under the terms of parole and house arrest, Winner and Rosie share a conversation to help clarify what really went on and why.
