HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019670.jpg

This document is page 182 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the footer 'Epst' and ISBN), stamped as evidence for the House Oversight Committee.

The author argues this narrative is self-serving and illogical, citing statements by Anatoly Kucherena and interviews Snowden gave to various journalists (Bamford, Rusbridger, vanden Heuvel, Williams). NOTE: The 'Epst' in the filename refers to author Edward Jay Epstein, not Jeffrey Epstein.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020295.jpg

This document, marked as House Oversight material, analyzes the Snowden leaks specifically regarding the surveillance of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The text details James Bamford's forensic analysis of the drive, which found no mention of Merkel, leading to speculation about how *Der Spiegel* obtained the information.
