Summary
This document is page 179 from a book proof (stamped House Oversight Committee, dated 9/29/16) titled 'The Keys to the Kingdom Are Missing,' likely authored by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by filename 'Epst'). The text critically analyzes Edward Snowden's claim that he destroyed all NSA documents in Hong Kong before traveling to Russia. The author argues this narrative is self-serving and illogical, citing statements by Anatoly Kucherena and interviews Snowden gave to various journalists (Bamford, Rusbridger, vanden Heuvel, Williams). NOTE: The 'Epst' in the filename refers to author Edward Jay Epstein, not Jeffrey Epstein.
