A woman accused of leaking classified information on Russias role in spreading misinformation during the 2016 election told FBI agents that her frustrations over Fox News prompted her to print out an intelligence report, stuff it in her pantyhose, and sneak it out of the National Security Agency office where she was working.
Reality Winner told FBI agents she had repeatedly complained about Fox News being on the TV at the NSA office she worked in, according to a transcript of the interview submitted to court on Wednesday, Politico reported.
According to the transcript, the 25-year-old linguist told the FBI she asked that the channel be changed to Al Jazeera a news organization that has come under scrutiny for acting as pro-Islamist agitprop.
Ive filed formal complaints about them having Fox News on, Winner told FBI agents in the transcript. Just, at least, for G-ds sake, put Al Jazeera on, or a slideshow with peoples pets. Ive tried everything to get that changed.
(TWEET-AT-LINK)
In the transcripts Winner said she wasnt trying to be a Snowden or anything when she allegedly decided to leak the classified information to the press. She said she thought it should be public information, regardless of the consequences.
I saw the article and was like, I dont understand why this isnt a thing, she said. It made me very mad.
I guess I just didnt care about myself at that point, Winner said. Yeah, I screwed up royally.
When the FBI agent asked if she understood her actions would compromise intelligence sources and methods, she said she figured it didnt matter anyway.
If they hadnt been already, then yes, she said. 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.

Ah, the Hillary excuse again. “It’s not my fault!” Unfortunately, this excuse on criminal activities doesn’t work for the little people.
Enjoy prison.
I think you can drop the “alleged.”
Once she says she put the docs in her garbage place . . .
The confession is complete.
I hope Fox news is broadcast in her cell!!
They ought to really trigger her after she is convicted with bullets from a firing squad.
I hope Fox news is broadcast in her cell!!
Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Loop Hannity 24x7 in her cell. And give her a few feet of rope.
If she’s that easily influenced, she must be an easy lay, too.
I don’t get that drunk anymore.
... 25-year-old linguist
Not a very cunning linguist, although she may become one in prison.
She’d be a solid 2 with the right makeup.
I suggest that all televisions in her prison block all be locked on Fox.
Something she may be about to find out the hard way.
Neither do I.
I turned the channel back to Fox and she came storming in cursing me and demanding I change the channel back. I smiled and asked her how far she wanted to take it up the line. She hated my guts for the rest of the time she was there but never tried to ban a channel because they didn't properly cater to racist minorities....these days she might have backing up-chain....
