HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019819.jpg

This document is page 331 of a 'Selected Bibliography' from a book or report, likely produced on September 30, 2016, and stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT'. The content lists journalistic sources regarding Edward Snowden, the NSA, and espionage, citing publications like The New York Times, The Guardian, and Vice. The footer filename 'Epst_9780451494566...' corresponds to the ISBN for the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, suggesting this document is related to the journalist Edward Jay Epstein rather than Jeffrey Epstein.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019666.jpg

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.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019663.jpg

This document appears to be a page (175) from a book manuscript, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst_' and ISBN). It details the diplomatic fallout between the US and Russia caused by Edward Snowden's defection, specifically the cancellation of a summit between Obama and Putin. It also discusses the intelligence value Snowden provided to Russia and his subsequent changing narrative regarding whether he brought classified files with him. The document bears a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019605.jpg

This document is a page (page 117) from a book titled 'The Great Divide' (likely referring to a chapter title within a book about Snowden), processed as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. The text discusses the legal precedents set by the Obama administration regarding government whistleblowers/leakers, specifically citing the convictions of Manning, Kiriakou, and others as warnings that Snowden likely ignored. It contrasts the legal view of these actions as lawbreaking with the moral view held by supporters and Snowden's lawyer, Ben Wizner, who frame the actions as civil disobedience against surveillance.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019534.jpg

This document is page 46 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the ISBN in the footer filename). It details Edward Snowden's theft of NSA documents starting in Winter 2012, his motivations, his employment at Dell, and his eventual communications from Moscow with journalists like James Risen. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, suggesting it was part of a document production for a congressional investigation, likely included due to the author's last name (Epstein) matching search criteria, though the text concerns Edward Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019514.jpg

This document is page 26 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, processed as a House Oversight document (Bates: HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019514). It details Edward Snowden's time at the CIA in Geneva, alleging he was forced to resign due to adding unauthorized code to the CIA system, rather than being fired, to avoid a scandal ('necessary containment'). It contrasts the CIA's public narrative with internal accounts suggesting Snowden was a disgruntled employee with a 'not stellar' career who felt victimized by his superiors.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013408.jpg

A March 2011 article from the Palm Beach Daily News reporting that attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein's victims filed court papers seeking to invalidate his non-prosecution agreement. The attorneys argue the U.S. Attorney's Office violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by concealing the deal and sending false notifications to victims.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013629.jpg

This document appears to be page 129 of a memoir or manuscript, stamped with a House Oversight Committee identifier. The text describes a Jewish narrator attending a Charismatic Christian church with their sons, witnessing a sermon about forgiveness involving a pastor who had accidentally killed a child, and subsequently experiencing speaking in tongues. While part of the Epstein document cache (likely related to the Maxwell family history), this specific page details personal religious experiences rather than criminal activity.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020364.jpg

This document appears to be page 212 of a House Oversight Committee report detailing the actions of Edward Snowden. It characterizes his move to contractor Booz Allen as a calculated 'expanding penetration' designed solely to steal sensitive NSA, GCHQ, and other allied intelligence files. The text discusses his awareness of the damage he caused, his communications with journalists (Risen, Lam, Poitras, Greenwald), and his strategic decision to flee to Hong Kong rather than face trial in the U.S. or flee to a non-extradition country like Brazil.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020342.jpg

This document is a 'Chronology 3' from a House Oversight report detailing Edward Snowden's movements and activities in Russia between June 2013 and August 2014. It tracks his arrival from Hong Kong, his asylum process, meetings with lawyers (ACLU) and journalists (NY Times, Gellman), and his association with Sarah Harrison. While the user prompt requested an analysis of an 'Epstein-related' document, the text of this specific page pertains exclusively to the Edward Snowden timeline.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020291.jpg

This document discusses the implications of Edward Snowden's arrival in Moscow, suggesting he likely shared NSA documents with Russian intelligence, which outweighed the diplomatic cost of a cancelled summit between Obama and Putin. It details the geopolitical tension involving Sergei Lavrov and Hillary Clinton's State Department, and notes a later narrative shift where Snowden claimed he brought no secret files to Russia during an interview with James Risen.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_018373.jpg

This page appears to be an excerpt from a manuscript or book (possibly written by Epstein or a ghostwriter given the context of the file dump) discussing the sociology of technology, specifically 'MapReduce' and the concept of 'time compression' in modern economics. It draws parallels between historical liberty and future technological speed, arguing that entities capable of 'velocity' will dominate those that are slow. The document is marked with a House Oversight footer, indicating it is part of a congressional investigation evidence file.
