This document is page 264 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the ISBN in the footer filename), which discusses Edward Snowden, the NSA, and Russian intelligence (SVR/KGB) tactics. The page analyzes why Russian intelligence would be interested in Snowden and compares him to historical spies like Hanssen and Ames. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a document production for a Congressional investigation.
This document is page 262 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets,' stamped by the House Oversight Committee. It details an interview with former KGB officer Cherkashin regarding the 1980 recruitment of former NSA employee Ronald Pelton, describing how Pelton was smuggled out of the Soviet embassy in Washington D.C. to avoid FBI surveillance. The text outlines the payment of $5,000 to Pelton and his subsequent transfer to Vienna to be debriefed by expert Anatoly Slavnov.
This document is a page from a House Oversight report detailing Edward Snowden's strategic employment shift from Dell to Booz Allen Hamilton to gain access to specific intelligence documents, including the 'black budget' and foreign intelligence lists (Level 3). It argues that Snowden's motivation went beyond whistleblowing to seeking documents that enhanced his power, referencing his ability to access allied intelligence (Britain, Israel, etc.) via 'Priv Ac' clearance. The text includes quotes from CIA Deputy Director Morell regarding the value of the stolen data to Russian intelligence.
This document appears to be a page from a book or investigative report (likely by journalist Edward Jay Epstein, given the reference to his book on Angleton) discussing KGB espionage tactics. It details the handling of NSA spy Ronald Pelton, including payments totaling $35,000 and debriefings in Vienna regarding 'Project A' (undersea cable tapping). The author uses the Pelton case to analyze Russian intelligence's probable interest in and handling of Edward Snowden, suggesting they would aggressively exploit his knowledge just as they did Pelton's.
This document appears to be a page (200) from a book or interview transcript included in a House Oversight file (stamped 020352). It details a conversation with a former KGB officer named Cherkashin regarding Cold War espionage. The text focuses on the definitions of 'mole' versus 'espionage source' and details the specific recruitment cases of Robert Hanssen and Ronald Pelton, including the tradecraft used to smuggle Pelton out of the Soviet embassy in 1980. There is no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein on this specific page.
This document is page 276 from a book, presenting endnotes for a chapter titled "Through the Looking Glass." The notes cite sources related to espionage and intelligence, including an interview with Snowden, a Chicago Tribune article about spy Pelton, and an author's interview with Victor Cherkashin. A key entry describes the author, Edward Jay Epstein, giving his book on James Jesus Angleton to Russian intelligence officer Victor Cherkashin, noting that Cherkashin's recruitment of moles Ames and Hanssen validated Angleton's theories.
