Summary

This document appears to be a page proof (page 73) from a book manuscript, evidenced by the filename 'Epst_9780451494566...' and the chapter header 'String Puller'. While the document metadata suggests a connection to an Epstein-related publication produced to the House Oversight Committee, the text on this specific page discusses Edward Snowden, his anonymous emails to journalists, and his theft of NSA documents regarding foreign intelligence gathering versus domestic spying.

ment. In addition, the information was in line with what they had
previously investigated or written about. None of these journalists
had any reason to doubt at this point that their anonymous source
was anything but the sincere whistle-blower he claimed to be. They
could not have known from his anonymous e-mails that aside from
the whistle-blowing documents he promised them, he was in the
process of stealing a large number of other documents that con-
cerned the NSA’s sources and methods in foreign countries. These
documents, to which Snowden never referred in his correspondence
with them, had little if anything at all to do with domestic spying on
American citizens.
