 Winner admitted numerous details in an FBI interview, the transcripts of which were made public Wednesday night in a court filing. The 25-year-old is facing charges of leaking government information to the media outlet The Intercept about Russian interference in the 2016 election, including information on hacking into a voting machine software supplier. 
  
 She admitted in the FBI interview she had read reports of Russian efforts to compromise voter data and wondered why the information she possessed wasn't public. 
  
 "I saw the article and was like, 'I don’t understand why this isn’t a thing,'" she said. "It made me very mad. I guess I just didn’t care about myself at that point. Yeah, I screwed up royally. 
  
 "Seeing that [information] that had been contested back and forth in the public domain for so long, trying to figure out, like, with everything else that keeps getting released and keeps getting leaked -- why isn't this getting -- why isn't this out there? Why can't this be public?" 
  
 In the interview, Winner first says she had left the documents on her desk before putting them in a burn bag to dispose of them. After the agent presses her with specifics, including the location where she sent them, Winner admitted she took the documents out of the building and mailed them to the media. 
  
 Winner described the incredibly low-tech way in which she managed to abscond with the classified information. When asked by the FBI how she got the documents out of the office, she responded, "Folded in half in my pantyhose." 
  
 Winner told the agent there was no security stopping her from lifting the information. 
  
 "Let's be straight -- there's little to no security on documents," she said. "Nobody pats you down." 
  
 The FBI interviewers noted few people had printed out the document Winner lifted from the facility. 
  
 "The most likely candidate, by far and away, is you," the interviewer said. "Now, I don't think you are, you know, a big bad master spy, OK? I don't. ... Now, I'm not sure why you did it, and I'm curious as to that, but I think you might've been angry over everything that's going on, politics-wise." 
  
 CNN singled out a Twitter account believed to belong to Winner -- she used her own photo as an ID and posted selfies -- in which she complained about Donald Trump winning the presidency. 
  
 She is facing at least nine years in prison if the case goes to trial and she's found guilty. 
  
 Winner worked as a translator -- she speaks Farsi, Pashto and Dari -- at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia.

 A National Security Agency contractor accused of leaking a classified report on Russian hacking aimed at the 2016 election told FBI agents she smuggled the document out of a high security intelligence facility in her pantyhose. 
  
 That and other details appear in a transcript federal prosecutors filed in court Wednesday detailing the interrogation of 25-year-old linguist Reality Winner by the FBI as they carried out a search warrant at her home in June.

 After insisting for some time that she printed out the report and kept it on her desk for a few days before disposing of it in a burn bag, Winner caved and acknowledged she hid the document before sending it off to a news outlet, now known to be The Intercept. 
  
 "So how did you get it out of the office?" FBI agent Justin Garrick asked. 
  
 "Folded it in half in my pantyhose," Winner replied.

 The transcript — filed with a federal magistrate judge as part of the government's effort to keep Winner behind bars — also provides new details on Winner's explanation for why she allegedly took a copy of the document from the NSA facility at which she worked at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia. 
  
 Winner appears to say she believed the contents of the report — which described Russian spearfishing cyberattacks aimed at U.S. voter registration databases — should be in the public debate. 
  
 “I saw the article and was like, I don’t understand why this isn’t a thing,” she said. “It made me very mad ... I guess I just didn’t care about myself at that point. ... Yeah, I screwed up royally." 
  
 Winner told the agents that she knew the report implicated intelligence sources and methods. She said, though, that she thought it was likely the flood of leaks and disclosures on the topic — apparently Russian hacking focused on the U.S. election — had already exposed those techniques. 
  
 "Did you know that if that got out, that those sources and methods could be compromised?" Garrick asked. 
  
 "If they hadn't been already, then yes," Winner said. "I figured that ... that it didn't matter anyway. Umm, honestly, uh, I just figured that whatever we were using had already been compromised, and that this report was just going to be like a — one drop in the bucket." 
  
 She added: "Seeing that [information] that had been contested back and forth in the public domain for so long, trying to figure out, like, with everything else that keeps getting released and keeps getting leaked — why isn't this getting — why isn't this out there? Why can't this be public?" 
  
 Winner later acknowledged she didn't know for sure that the sources used for the report were already disclosed. 
  
 The transcript hints at possible political motivations for the leak. Winner says she objected to her workplace tuning the TV to Fox News. She also had a signed photo of CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper, although she said the signature was fake. 
  
 "I wasn't trying to be a Snowden or anything," Winner said, referring to NSA leaker Edward Snowden and his massive disclosures of details on U.S. government surveillance. "I guess it's just been hard at work because ... I've filed formal complaint about them having Fox News on, you know? Uh, at least, for God's sake, put Al Jazeera on, or a slideshow with people's pets. I've tried anything to get that changed." 
  
 Despite Winner's statement to the FBI agents, prosecutors say that in a Facebook chat in March with her sister, Winner said she was on the "side" of both Snowden and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. 
  
 The transcript made public Wednesday also contains some surprises. 
  
 While the government has been cagey about which agency Winner worked for, the document makes clear she worked at an NSA facility unveiled to the media under tight security in 2012. It also says she was assigned to "the Iranian Aerospace Forces Office." 
  
 Those kinds of details are usually considered classified, although the transcript is marked as having been downgraded from "Secret" to "Unclassified." The Justice Department news release and charging documents made public in June do not mention the NSA or Winner's specific assignment there. Officials have also declined to confirm that the report Winner is charged with leaking was produced by the NSA, but the transcript seems to confirm that fact. 
  
 The transcript filed publicly with the court Wednesday initially included Winner's social security number and date of birth, information excluded from public court filings under court rules. The password for the computer she had at home at the time of the search was also included. 
  
 Some information detailing the nature of the specific intelligence report Winner is accused of leaking was blacked out from the transcript placed in the court record. Quotes from portions of the transcript were included in previous court filings. 
  
 After POLITICO inquired with a Justice Department spokesman about the appearance of Winner's social security number and date of birth in the publicly filed document, prosecutors refiled the transcript with that information removed. 
  
 U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian Epps has scheduled a hearing for Friday on Winner's request to be released pending trial, currently set for March 1. 
  
 Prosecutors say federal sentencing guidelines call for her to receive at least a nine year prison term if she goes to trial and is convicted. 
  
 Cory Bennett contributed to this report. ||||| SAVANNAH, Ga. -- A young woman charged with leaking U.S. secrets to a news organization told FBI agents she was frustrated with her job as a government contractor when she tucked a classified report into her pantyhose and smuggled it out of a National Security Agency office in Georgia, according to court records. 
  
 Prosecutors are using Reality Winner's own words against her as they urge a federal judge to keep the former Air Force translator jailed until her trial. In a court filing Wednesday, prosecutors attached a 77-page transcript of Winner's interview with FBI agents before her arrest in June. 
  
 "Yeah, I screwed up royally," Winner, 25, told the agents in a transcript that makes public the details of her confession, which prosecutors have alluded to in prior court hearings. 
  
 Did NSA leak suspect expose other state secrets? 
  
 In their latest filing Wednesday, prosecutors also included a partial transcript of a Facebook chat between Winner and her sister in February. 
  
 "Look, I only say I hate America like 3 times a day," Winner wrote. "I'm no radical. It's mostly just about Americans obsession with air conditioning." 
  
 Her sister asked: "But you don't actually hate America, right?" 
  
 Winner replied: "I mean yeah I do it's literally the worst thing to happen on the planet. We invented capitalism the downfall of the environment." 
  
 Winner faces up to 10 years in federal prison if she's convicted on charges that she printed a classified U.S. report and mailed it to an online news outlet. 
  
 Her mother told CBS News in June that Winner was "scared that they would make her disappear" following her arrest.

 Authorities haven't described the report or named the news outlet. But the Justice Department announced Winner's arrest as The Intercept reported it had obtained a classified NSA report suggesting Russian hackers attacked a U.S. voting software supplier before last year's presidential election. The NSA report was dated May 5, the same as the document Winner is charged with leaking. 
  
 Winner told the FBI she was frustrated at her civilian contractor job, which involved translating documents from Farsi to English for the NSA in Augusta, Georgia, where the federal agency has facilities. 
  
 "I've filed formal complaints about them having Fox News on, you know?" Winner told the agents. "Uh, just at least, for God's sake, put Al Jazeera on, or a slideshow with people's pets." 
  
 Winner's attorneys have asked a judge prohibit the FBI interview, conducted at Winner's home in June as agents executed a search warrant, from being used as evidence. Defense attorneys say agents never read Winner her Miranda rights. She had not yet been formally arrested, but Winner's attorneys say she had every reason to believe she was in custody. The judge has not ruled on that motion. 
  
 U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian K. Epps has scheduled a hearing Friday on Winner's renewed request for bond. Her lawyers say it's unfair to keep her locked up pending trial, considering Winner has no prior criminal record and prosecutors have filed no new charges months after warning Winner may have stolen other secrets. Winner has pleaded not guilty in the case. 
  
 Prosecutors say Winner poses a flight risk if released and her knowledge of government secrets makes her "an extremely attractive recruitment target for foreign intelligence agencies" and others seeking classified information.

 In the interview, Winner at first denied several times that she leaked any secret documents. She said she had been trying to get an assignment working with U.S. forces in Afghanistan. 
  
 First she acknowledged printing a report that "looked like a piece of history." She told the agents "I thought it would be cool if I had it on my desk for a couple of days." But she insisted she dropped the report in a bin used for papers that were to be destroyed. 
  
 "I mean, I'm trying to deploy," Winner said. "I'm not trying to be a whistleblower. That's crazy." 
  
 She changed her story after an agent asked bluntly how she got the document out of the office. 
  
 "Folded in half in my pantyhose," Winner replied. 
  
 "OK. And what did you do with it?" the agent asked. 
  
 "Put it in an envelope and sent it to (redacted)," Winner said. 
  
 Winner said she dropped the report in a mailbox located in a shopping center parking lot. 
  
 Any details of the report's contents and to whom Winner mailed it were redacted from the transcript. She said she asked herself: "Why isn't this out there? Why can't this be public?" 
  
 "I saw the article and was like, I don't know why this isn't a thing," she told the FBI. "It made me very mad. ... I guess I didn't care about, like, myself at that point." |||||
What is a summary?
Answer: – Reality Winner wasn't happy about the work environment at the high-security NSA facility in Georgia where she served as a linguist. "I've filed formal complaint about them having Fox News on, you know?" Politico quotes the 25-year-old as telling FBI agents in June. "At least, for God's sake, put Al Jazeera on, or a slideshow with people's pets." Prosecutors filed a transcript of Winner's FBI interrogation Wednesday in hopes of convincing a judge to keep her locked up until her trial, CBS News reports. She's facing up to 10 years in prison for allegedly sending a classified report on Russian hacking connected to the 2016 election to the media. The now-public FBI transcript sheds light on how and why Winner allegedly leaked the document. "I wasn't trying to be a Snowden or anything," Winner told FBI agents. She said she wanted to know why reports of Russian attempts to hack voter data ahead of the election weren't public knowledge, ABC News reports. "It made me very mad ... I guess I just didn't care about myself at that point," she told the FBI. "I screwed up royally." In the transcript, Winner initially denies smuggling the report out of the facility before admitting she "folded it in half in my pantyhose" to sneak it out. "There's little to no security on documents," she told agents. "Nobody pats you down." The former Air Force translator said she figured anything in the document that could be compromised by its release had already been compromised through other leaks—that it was going to be "one drop in the bucket."
