Summary
This document is page 5 of a book prologue (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename 'Epst' and content) stamped with a House Oversight Committee number (019493). The text details the author's investigation into Edward Snowden's 2013 flight from Hawaii to Hong Kong and subsequently Russia, questioning Snowden's logistics, motives, and the security failures of the NSA. While the user query mentions Jeffrey Epstein, the content of this specific page deals exclusively with Edward Snowden; the 'Epst' in the filename likely refers to the author, Edward Jay Epstein.
