HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019672.jpg

This document is page 184 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, stamped as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. The text discusses the timeline of Edward Snowden's leaks, specifically questioning how documents released in 2016 (via The Intercept) regarding Israeli drone intercepts were distributed if Snowden supposedly destroyed his files. The author cites a former KGB officer who suggests that Snowden's continued release of documents while in Russia was likely orchestrated or approved by Russian intelligence services.

This document is page 179 from a book proof (stamped House Oversight Committee, dated 9/29/16) titled 'The Keys to the Kingdom Are Missing,' likely authored by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by filename 'Epst'). The text critically analyzes Edward Snowden's claim that he destroyed all NSA documents in Hong Kong before traveling to Russia. 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.

This document is page 142 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, stamped as a House Oversight Committee exhibit. It analyzes Edward Snowden's flight to Russia, comparing it to Cold War spies like Kim Philby to suggest a potential prior intelligence connection. The text disputes Snowden's claim that he was 'trapped' in Russia, detailing how the State Department attempted to facilitate his return to the U.S. to face felony charges, including a specific detail about a typographical error regarding his middle name (James vs. Joseph) in communications with Hong Kong authorities.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019629.jpg

This document is page 141 from a book or report (identified by ISBN in the footer as Edward Jay Epstein's 'How America Lost Its Secrets') marked with a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's theft of NSA documents in April and May 2013, arguing that employment records from Booz Allen and the NSA show he lacked the necessary passwords and training for the access he claimed. The author suggests, using a metaphor about a diamond heist at Tiffany's, that it is logical to suspect Snowden had an accomplice, though the FBI chose to investigate under the assumption that the NSA's security was simply flawed.
