The text discusses the history of intelligence moles, comparing John Le Carré's fictional character 'Gerald' to the real-life KGB mole Heinz Felfe. The file name 'Epst_...' and the ISBN indicate this is likely from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, which investigates Edward Snowden (quoted at the top of the page), and should not be confused with Jeffrey Epstein despite the abbreviation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019643.jpg
This document is page 155 from a book (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename 'Epst' and ISBN 9780451494566), marked as a House Oversight exhibit.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019641.jpg
This text explores the theory that Edward Snowden may have had a "witting accomplice" inside the NSA to assist in stealing documents, arguing that such a scenario fits Occam's razor by simplifying how he bypassed security measures. It discusses the potential motivations within the "geek squad" culture and the possibility of technical assistance from insiders who shared his views but were unwilling to flee. However, the text concludes that despite a six-month FBI investigation questioning all co-workers, no such accomplice was ever identified.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019640.jpg
This document is page 152 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein), marked as evidence for the House Oversight Committee. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's theft of NSA data, arguing that technical barriers (sealed USB ports, PKI card requirements) and timeline discrepancies suggest Snowden must have had an accomplice inside the NSA/Booz Allen to succeed. It details communications between Snowden and Laura Poitras in April 2013.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019639.jpg
This document is page 151 from a book proof, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by ISBN in footer), stamped by the House Oversight Committee. The text analyzes the technical and social feasibility of Edward Snowden stealing NSA passwords, discussing theories involving social engineering versus hardware key loggers. A former Booz Allen executive argues it is 'inconceivable' that co-workers shared passwords and notes the technical difficulty of using a key logger in an EMP-hardened facility. Note: The 'Epst' in the filename refers to author Edward Jay Epstein, not Jeffrey Epstein.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019638.jpg
This document is page 150 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT'. It discusses theories on how Edward Snowden obtained passwords to secure NSA vaults, specifically 'Level 3 documents.' The text details his employment transition from Dell to Booz Allen and explores the possibility that he unwittingly or deceptively used co-workers to gain access, noting that the NSA informed Congress in 2014 that three colleagues spoke to the FBI about potential deception.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019637.jpg
This document is page 149 from a book manuscript (likely Edward Jay Epstein's 'How America Lost Its Secrets', indicated by the ISBN in the footer) stamped by the House Oversight Committee. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's 2013 theft of NSA secrets, contrasting the 'whistle-blower' narrative with counterintelligence perspectives that suggest he acted like a 'penetration agent.' It details the FBI's findings on Snowden's unauthorized access methods and discusses the methodology of 'scenario building' in counterintelligence investigations.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019634.jpg
This document is page 146 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by journalist Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the ISBN in the footer), which was produced as evidence in a House Oversight investigation (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019634). The text discusses the security failures at the NSA that allowed Edward Snowden to breach their systems, specifically criticizing the outsourcing of technical work and the removal of 'stovepiping' safeguards after 9/11. It also mentions an unprofessional culture within the NSA where agents exchanged lewd photos of suspects.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019633.jpg
This document appears to be page 145 from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename 'Epst') discussing the investigation into Edward Snowden's theft of NSA documents. It details the intelligence community's concerns about how a civilian contractor could steal vital secrets without detection and the implications for national security. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a congressional review or investigation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019632.jpg
This document appears to be page 144 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, included in a House Oversight Committee file. It details the logistics of Edward Snowden's defection from Hong Kong to Moscow, asserting that Vladimir Putin personally approved the flight and that Aeroflot waived standard passport protocols. The text also discusses the NSA's interception of Russian communications confirming foreknowledge of Snowden's arrival.
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.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019628.jpg
This page from a book titled "How America Lost Its Secrets" details the logistics of how NSA documents stolen by Edward Snowden were transported between journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras via David Miranda, leading to the NSA obtaining a copy during Miranda's detention at Heathrow. It further analyzes the timeline of Snowden's theft, noting that he downloaded documents for nine months before acquiring the specific whistle-blowing materials (like the Verizon order and PRISM presentation) released to the media, suggesting his initial motives may have differed from his public claims.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019626.jpg
This document is page 138 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets', included in an evidentiary production (likely House Oversight regarding Epstein, based on the file name 'Epst...' and Bates stamp).

It highlights the friction between the NSA and CIA regarding information sharing about the breach.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019624.jpg
This document is page 136 from Edward Jay Epstein's book 'How America Lost Its Secrets,' bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp. It details the FBI's initial response to Edward Snowden's 2013 theft of NSA secrets, including tracking him to the Mira hotel in Hong Kong, freezing his assets, and forensic analysis of his workspace in Hawaii. The text highlights a lack of inter-agency communication, noting that the DIA was not informed until July 10 that Snowden had also stolen a 'staggering' number of military documents related to Cyber Command.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019622.jpg
This document is the first page of Chapter 14, titled "The Crime Scene Investigation."
