HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019819.jpg

This document is page 331 of a 'Selected Bibliography' from a book or report, likely produced on September 30, 2016, and stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT'. The content lists journalistic sources regarding Edward Snowden, the NSA, and espionage, citing publications like The New York Times, The Guardian, and Vice.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019818.jpg

This document is page 330 of a selected bibliography from a book, likely produced as evidence for the House Oversight Committee (marked HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019818). The page lists various articles published between 2010 and 2015, primarily focusing on Edward Snowden, the NSA leaks, WikiLeaks, and cybersecurity. While the document bears a file name starting with 'Epst' (possibly referring to Epstein in a larger production batch), the text itself is entirely focused on the Snowden saga and intelligence leaks.

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. It details the timeline of his communications with journalists Gellman, Greenwald, and Poitras in 2013.

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 text analyzes the timeline of the 'Merkel document' (NSA spying on Angela Merkel), arguing that this specific document was not in the cache Snowden gave to journalists in Hong Kong but was likely provided to *Der Spiegel* after Snowden arrived in Moscow. It cites expert James Bamford, who searched the Hong Kong archive and found no mention of Merkel, suggesting Snowden or another party released it from Russia.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019574.jpg

This document appears to be page 86 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely authored by Edward Jay Epstein, given the footer filename 'Epst_'), produced as part of a House Oversight investigation. The text details the interactions between journalist Glenn Greenwald and Guardian editor Janine Gibson regarding the Edward Snowden NSA leaks. It covers Gibson's reluctance to publish Snowden's manifesto (comparing it to the Unabomber's), her authorization of Greenwald's trip to Hong Kong, and the assignment of veteran journalist Ewen MacAskill to accompany him.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020366.jpg

This document is an excerpt from a House Oversight report analyzing Edward Snowden's 2013 decision to publicly reveal his identity as the NSA leaker. The text argues that Snowden's choice to be filmed by Laura Poitras in Hong Kong, rather than remaining anonymous like Bradley Manning, was a calculated move to achieve fame and transform himself into a public advocate, despite offers from editors like Ewen MacAskill to keep his identity secret. It highlights his coordination with journalists Greenwald, Poitras, and Gellman.

2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020295.jpg

This document, marked as House Oversight material, analyzes the Snowden leaks specifically regarding the surveillance of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. It argues that the document revealing the spying on Merkel was not part of the original cache Snowden gave to Greenwald and Poitras in Hong Kong, suggesting it was released later from Moscow or via another source. 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.

This document (page 103, file HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020255) details an interview between journalist Lana Lam (South China Morning Post) and Edward Snowden, facilitated by Laura Poitras in Hong Kong. The text describes the security measures taken for the interview (TOR laptop, phone confiscation) and Snowden's revelation that he specifically took a job at Booz Allen Hamilton in March 2013 to access lists of machines hacked by the NSA globally. It also notes Snowden's claim that the US government committed crimes against Hong Kong and China, and mentions his subsequent flight to Russia around June 24, 2013.

The text also notes Greenwald's subsequent departure to Brazil and the founding of The Intercept.

It recounts the release of the Verizon and PRISM stories by the Guardian and Washington Post, followed by Snowden's decision to reveal his identity through a video interview to define his own narrative before the government could demonize him.

2025-11-19

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020252.jpg

This page from a House Oversight report details the initial meetings between Edward Snowden and journalists (Greenwald, Poitras, MacAskill) in a hotel room on June 4th. It describes Snowden's security rituals (the 'magical cloak'), transcriptions of his introduction to Ewen MacAskill, and critically analyzes discrepancies between Snowden's claims about his career/salary ($200k vs $133k) and the official records from the CIA, DIA, and Booz Allen. The report attempts to discredit Snowden's truthfulness regarding his authority to intercept presidential communications.
