Summary

This document is Page 36 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (hence the file prefix 'Epst'). It details Edward Snowden's background check failures by USIS, his girlfriend Lindsay Mills' blog activities, and his 2012 transfer by Dell to the NSA's Kunia base in Hawaii. The text highlights security lapses that allowed Snowden to maintain clearance and access sensitive systems alone. While the file metadata suggests a connection to 'Epstein,' the content refers to the author Edward Jay Epstein and his subject Edward Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein.
