Document Summary

This document appears to be page 178 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (authored by Edward Jay Epstein, which explains the 'Epst' filename). The text details Edward Snowden's legal and media strategy orchestrated by Ben Wizner regarding the release of NSA documents. It highlights contradictions in Snowden's narrative regarding the possession and destruction of classified files, contrasting his claim to journalist Barton Gellman that his drives were blank with his admission to former CIA officer Ray McGovern that he had stored data on external drives.
