Summary
This document is page 177 from a book (likely 'Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales' based on the ISBN in the footer file name) included in House Oversight Committee evidence. The text details the legal complexities facing Edward Snowden, specifically the challenges his lawyer Ben Wizner (ACLU) faced in securing amnesty or a plea deal with the DOJ. It discusses the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, the strategic damage caused by Snowden fleeing to Russia, and Wizner's role as a gatekeeper for media access to Snowden.
