This document appears to be page 298 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename 'Epst_...'). It details the operational fallout of the Edward Snowden leaks, specifically how terrorist targets using platforms like Xbox Live, Twitter, and Facebook ceased using these methods ('went dark') after the PRISM program was revealed in June 2013.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019628.jpg

This page from a book titled "How America Lost Its Secrets" details the logistics of how NSA documents stolen by Edward Snowden were transported between journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras via David Miranda, leading to the NSA obtaining a copy during Miranda's detention at Heathrow. It further analyzes the timeline of Snowden's theft, noting that he downloaded documents for nine months before acquiring the specific whistle-blowing materials (like the Verizon order and PRISM presentation) released to the media, suggesting his initial motives may have differed from his public claims.

This document appears to be page 45 from a book (identified by the filename 'Epst_9780451494566' as Edward Jay Epstein's *How America Lost Its Secrets*) stamped as a House Oversight exhibit. The text details how Edward Snowden exploited a lack of auditing software at the NSA's Kunia base in Hawaii to steal classified data while working for Dell in 2012. It explains that post-9/11 reforms to eliminate 'stovepiping' created a shared network (NSANet) that allowed system administrators like Snowden access to CIA and Defense Department documents without detection.

This document is page 44 from a book (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename/ISBN) included in a House Oversight Committee production. It details Edward Snowden's activities in late 2012, specifically how he used his position as a Dell contractor to transfer files from Fort Meade to Hawaii. The text explains that this authorized transfer provided 'perfect cover' for him to steal unencrypted NSA data by exploiting security flaws he had previously identified in Japan.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019207.jpg

This document is a House Oversight report page (ID 019207) detailing the damage assessment of Edward Snowden's data theft. It contradicts Snowden's narrative, stating he took 1.5 million documents—mostly military secrets rather than whistleblower evidence—including 'Level 3' NSA tools and a 'road map' of global surveillance targets. The report outlines his movement from Hong Kong to Moscow and cites testimony from Gen. Martin Dempsey and NSA executive Richard Ledgett regarding the severity of the intelligence compromise.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_018624.jpg

This document appears to be a page from a manuscript, diary, or personal narrative (marked as House Oversight evidence) describing a summer birthday in Chicago. The narrator recounts an evening with her partner, 'Mr. Ambition,' and a tense but intimate encounter with a former flame named Richard, whom she describes as untrustworthy and complicated. The text explores the emotional dynamics between the three characters.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023358.jpg

This document is a chain of emails from October 2015, likely written by Jeffrey Epstein to Melanie Spinella (assistant to Leon Black). The sender aggressively critiques the recipient's family office ('Elysium'), suggesting a 'heart operation' to restart it from scratch due to incompetence, poor IT, and financial mismanagement. The text details specific financial disputes, including a $2 million payment to the sender and a $5 million foundation contribution, while discussing assets like Apollo stock, Phaidon publishing, a private plane (partially owned by 'Debra'), and various staff members.

2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023335.jpg

This document is a contentious memo or email draft, likely from Jeffrey Epstein to Leon Black (inferred from family names and business entities like Phaidon/Apollo). The text begins with urgent estate planning and financial advice, suggesting specific executors (Suydam), trust changes, and tax strategies. The second half shifts to a dispute over advisory fees; Epstein claims he was promised $50-60 million for a transaction but was later told by lawyer Brad Karp he would only receive $20 million, a reduction he finds 'remarkably unfair' given his detailed work and their close friendship.

2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023327.jpg

This document appears to be a draft memo or email from Jeffrey Epstein to Leon Black (implied by context of family names and business deals). It outlines a series of estate planning and financial directives, including restructuring trusts, wills, and business assets like Phaidon and Artspace. The second half of the document is a grievance regarding unpaid consulting fees, where Epstein claims he was promised $50-60 million for his services but was ultimately offered only $20 million, expressing that this breach of agreement has left him 'uneasy' despite their close friendship.

Email draft / memo
2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023284.jpg

This document contains a series of emails, culminating on October 26, 2015, from Jeffrey Epstein (implied by context and tone) to Melanie Spinella and Brad Wechsler. The emails aggressively advise on the restructuring of Leon Black's family office ('Elysium'), recommending the firing of almost all staff except Heather, selling the publishing company Phaidon, and addressing significant financial issues regarding a private jet and art loans. Epstein criticizes the current management as a 'failed experiment' and a 'mess,' specifically mentioning Leon Black's decisions and suggesting Brad Wechsler replace a manager named Richard.

Email thread / correspondence
2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023232.jpg

This document is a printed email (dated Jan 29, 2016) seemingly from Jeffrey Epstein to Melanie Spinella (likely an intermediary for a high-net-worth individual, possibly Leon Black given the context of 'Athene', 'Phaidon', and 'Brad Karp'). The sender aggressively critiques the recipient's family office management, specifically a CEO named Brad, citing accounting errors and missing documentation. The sender disputes a payment of $20 million, claiming an agreement of 37% was established, and references 'Athene or Rothschild' transactions.

Email correspondence / printed document
2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023230.jpg

This document contains an email thread (likely a draft forwarded to himself by Jeffrey Epstein) addressed to Leon Black regarding a dispute over financial compensation for complex tax and estate planning services. The writer expresses frustration that an agreed-upon fee range of 50-60 million was reduced to 20 million despite saving the recipient over 600 million in taxes.

Email/correspondence
2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023229.jpg

This document is a printed email from a close associate (likely a financial advisor) to Jeffrey Epstein, expressing deep frustration over a fee dispute regarding a tax strategy that allegedly saved Epstein $600 million. The sender criticizes Epstein's staff, specifically Eileen Alexandersson and Brad Wechsler, for incompetence and mismanagement, while reminding Epstein of verbal and written agreements regarding compensation that Epstein has allegedly ignored. The email highlights the tension between their personal friendship and their professional financial dealings.

Email (printed)
2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023227.jpg

A letter, likely from Jeffrey Epstein to Leon Black (inferred from context regarding family and business holdings), critiquing Black's financial management and staff. The author advises on estate planning, including trusts (GRATs), wills, and executor appointments, while highlighting significant financial mismanagement in entities like Regan Arts and Artspace. The letter also details a dispute over advisory fees regarding a 'Phaidon payout' and mentions a complex tax issue involving 'Rowen' (Marc Rowan) and 'Athene' potentially involving 2 billion in taxes.

Letter / email printout (house oversight committee evidence)
2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023212.jpg

This document contains a chain of emails from November 2015 involving Jeffrey Epstein, Melanie Spinella, and an unidentified advisor (likely legal or financial).

Note: While the user prompt requested Epstein-related data, this specific page is exclusively focused on the Snowden/NSA leaks.
