This document is page 216 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename and content). It details the privatization of U.S. government background checks initiated by the Clinton administration in 1996. The text criticizes the private firm USIS (owned by Providence Equity Partners) for failing to access CIA records during Edward Snowden's 2011 background check and for fraudulently 'flushing' over 665,000 incomplete investigations to maximize profit, leading to a 2014 lawsuit.
This document appears to be page 35 from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename and content style) stamped as a House Oversight document. It details Edward Snowden's hypocrisy in 2010-2011, where he criticized corporate cooperation with the NSA on Ars Technica under the alias 'TrueHooHa' while simultaneously seeking renewed security clearance to work for Dell. It also discusses the privatization of government background checks initiated in 1996, specifically focusing on USIS (owned first by Carlyle Group, then Providence Equity Partners) and its profit-driven approach to NSA vetting.
