Extraction Summary
Document Information
This document appears to be page 69 from a book (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the ISBN in the footer filename 'Epst_9780451494566') that was submitted as evidence to the House Oversight Committee. The text details Edward Snowden's strategy for leaking classified documents, specifically his interactions with filmmaker Laura Poitras. It describes his insistence on revealing his identity to protect his associates, his use of religious imagery ('nailing me to the cross'), and his specific instructions for Poitras to recruit journalist Glenn Greenwald to utilize *The Guardian* for credibility. **Note:** While the filename contains 'Epst' (referring to author Edward Jay Epstein), the content is entirely about Edward Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein.
