we are asked to believe a HS grad is a triple linguist, named Reality Winner, and within first few months on job ever with NSA was allowed to print and email a TS doc. and that she was arrested on same day within hours
so yes, there is at least circumstantial evidence this was not a "real" thing that happened. either a plant or make believe
Air Force Cryptolinguist training is up to 480 days[0]. So, someone out of high school can sign up to the Air Force and complete the training in a little under 2 years. Her first job as a cryptolinguist would be working at a DoD related agency working on TS material. So yes, you are asked to believe this because this is a common occurrence.
One of the smartest people I've met had this exact job immediately after HS. If this is the type of career you want it's actually a very good path. It gets you relevant experience while most of your HS classmates are still in college, you can get a degree either during your tour or immediately after, debt free, and by the time you're done you've been pretty extensively vetted.
A guy has two sons. He names one Winner and the other Loser. Winner leads a life of crime and Loser becomes a NYPD detective.
This is a true story from the book Freakonomics [0]. Reality Winner could be a real person.

Or this whole thing is all completely fabricated...
The way politics are now I'd believe anything at this point.
