HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019769.jpg
This document appears to be a page (281) from a book manuscript, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (inferred from the filename 'Epst' and ISBN 9780451494566), bearing a House Oversight Committee stamp. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's motivations, arguing that he sought fame rather than just whistleblower status, as evidenced by his refusal to remain anonymous despite offers from editors and his specific request for Laura Poitras to film him.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019767.jpg
This document is page 279 from a book proof, stamped 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019767'.

While the filename includes 'Epst' and the ISBN corresponds to the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, the text content concerns Edward Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein. It appears this document may be part of a larger discovery production where the author's name triggered an 'Epstein' keyword association.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019765.jpg
This document page discusses Edward Snowden's calculated move from Dell to Booz Allen Hamilton, arguing that the transition was motivated by a desire to access specific intelligence documents unavailable at Dell, such as the 2013 "black budget." The text suggests that Snowden's actions went beyond whistleblowing and provided significant value to foreign adversaries like Russia and China by exposing sensitive information and intelligence sources.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019764.jpg
This excerpt from "How America Lost Its Secrets" analyzes Edward Snowden's decision to leave his job at Dell for a lower-paying position at Booz Allen Hamilton. The author argues that this move was unnecessary for whistleblowing purposes, as Snowden already had access to critical documents like FISA court orders and Presidential Policy Directive 20 while at Dell, and suggests the job switch actually increased his risk of detection.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019743.jpg
This document appears to be page 255 of a book or report included in a House Oversight investigation file (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019743). The text details Edward Snowden's time in Moscow, explaining that his rumored travel to Ecuador was a cover story orchestrated by Julian Assange because Snowden feared CIA rendition in Latin America. It describes the media frenzy surrounding Aeroflot Flight SU150 to Cuba and quotes a July 1, 2013, statement from Snowden criticizing the Obama administration.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019740.jpg
This document is a page from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, not Jeffrey Epstein), stamped by the House Oversight Committee. It details an interview with filmmaker Oliver Stone, who admits to paying Edward Snowden's Russian lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, $1 million. While officially for book rights, Stone confirmed the payment was actually to secure 'total access' to Snowden and to successfully block a competing Sony film project produced by the James Bond franchise producers.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019735.jpg
This document is a page (247) from a book draft titled 'A Single Point of Failure,' likely authored by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename. It discusses Edward Snowden's motivations, suggesting he took secret materials to Russia that were not shared with journalists in Hong Kong. It mentions Snowden's lawyer Kucherena confirming the possession of these materials and notes the author visited Moscow in October 2015 to investigate. The page bears a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019731.jpg
This document is page 243 from a book, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst' and ISBN), which was produced as evidence for the House Oversight Committee. The text details the critical timeline leading up to June 3 (2013), covering Edward Snowden's flight to Hong Kong, his communications with journalists Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald, and the delays caused by 'The Guardian's' due diligence. It speculates on Snowden's motivations for staying in Hong Kong to produce a video, noting that Greenwald and Poitras arrived only hours before Snowden would be marked as missing by the NSA.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019727.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename) included in a House Oversight investigation. The text details the pervasive surveillance capabilities of Chinese intelligence in Hong Kong around 2013, noting that the U.S. State Department required personnel to use altered phones to avoid data theft. It argues that Edward Snowden, having arrived in May 2013 with NSA secrets, would have been aware of these capabilities and relied on the Chinese presence to protect him from the CIA.
