HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019535.jpg
This document appears to be page 47 of a book manuscript (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename ISBN) produced as part of a House Oversight Committee investigation. The text analyzes the psychological motivations of leakers, referencing Edward Shils' work on the 'torment of secrecy,' and details Edward Snowden's mindset and access levels at the NSA in 2012.

It details Edward Snowden's theft of NSA documents starting in Winter 2012, his motivations, his employment at Dell, and his eventual communications from Moscow with journalists like James Risen. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, suggesting it was part of a document production for a congressional investigation, likely included due to the author's last name (Epstein) matching search criteria, though the text concerns Edward Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein.

This document appears to be page 45 from a book (identified by the filename 'Epst_9780451494566' as Edward Jay Epstein's *How America Lost Its Secrets*) stamped as a House Oversight exhibit. The text details how Edward Snowden exploited a lack of auditing software at the NSA's Kunia base in Hawaii to steal classified data while working for Dell in 2012. It explains that post-9/11 reforms to eliminate 'stovepiping' created a shared network (NSANet) that allowed system administrators like Snowden access to CIA and Defense Department documents without detection.

This document is page 44 from a book (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename/ISBN) included in a House Oversight Committee production. It details Edward Snowden's activities in late 2012, specifically how he used his position as a Dell contractor to transfer files from Fort Meade to Hawaii.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019529.jpg
This document is page 41 of a book (likely 'Filthy Rich' based on the file metadata) that was produced as evidence to the House Oversight Committee. The text details the life of Edward Snowden and his girlfriend Lindsay Mills in Hawaii during June and July 2012, focusing on Mills' unhappiness, her blog posts, and Snowden's reclusive behavior. While the document is part of a larger file likely related to Epstein (indicated by the filename prefix 'Epst'), the content of this specific page concerns Snowden exclusively.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019528.jpg
This document is page 40 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (indicated by the ISBN in the footer), authored by Edward Jay Epstein. It details Edward Snowden's ideological alignment with Libertarian Ron Paul, his disillusionment with the CIA and NSA, and his rationale for leaking government secrets.

The text also mentions comments Snowden made to The Guardian and Ars Technica regarding his work and political views.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019526.jpg

The text details Edward Snowden's life in Hawaii in 2012, his $120,000 salary from Dell, and his work at the Kunia Regional Security Operations Center (NSA). It also describes the history of the facility ('the tunnel') and the author's own experience being detained there in 2016.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019524.jpg
This document is Page 36 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (hence the file prefix 'Epst'). It details Edward Snowden's background check failures by USIS, his girlfriend Lindsay Mills' blog activities, and his 2012 transfer by Dell to the NSA's Kunia base in Hawaii. The text highlights security lapses that allowed Snowden to maintain clearance and access sensitive systems alone. While the file metadata suggests a connection to 'Epstein,' the content refers to the author Edward Jay Epstein and his subject Edward Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019523.jpg
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.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019519.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a book (possibly 'The Snowden Files' based on the ISBN in the footer filename) included in House Oversight Committee records. It details Edward Snowden's life in Japan in 2009, specifically his relationship with Lindsay Mills and their friendship with a military couple, Jennie and Joseph Chamberlin, stationed at Yokota base. The text recounts a failed hiking trip to Mount Fuji on August 17, 2009, and notes Snowden's enrollment in a University of Maryland (UMUC) online course.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019518.jpg
This document appears to be page 30 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst_...'). The text details Edward Snowden's transition from the CIA to private contractor Dell, noting a security clearance loophole that allowed him to retain clearance despite CIA concerns. It describes his assignment to the NSA complex at Yokota Air Base in Japan in June 2009, where he trained military personnel on cyber security. The document bears a House Oversight Bates stamp.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019517.jpg
This document is a page from a book manuscript (likely by Edward Jay Epstein based on the filename prefix 'Epst' and ISBN) discussing Edward Snowden's transition from the CIA to private contracting for the NSA. It details how intelligence agencies outsourced IT work to companies like Dell to bypass budget limits, and how Snowden's existing top-secret clearance made him a valuable recruit for Dell's operations in Japan in 2009. The page bears a House Oversight Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a congressional inquiry.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019516.jpg
This document appears to be page 28 from a book proof (likely by author Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename prefix 'Epst') regarding Edward Snowden. It details Snowden's return from Geneva at age 25, his financial losses in the options market, and his disillusionment with the CIA, specifically citing an incident where the agency compromised a Swiss banker. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a congressional record or investigation.

The page bears a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019514.jpg
This document is page 26 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, processed as a House Oversight document (Bates: HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019514). It details Edward Snowden's time at the CIA in Geneva, alleging he was forced to resign due to adding unauthorized code to the CIA system, rather than being fired, to avoid a scandal ('necessary containment'). It contrasts the CIA's public narrative with internal accounts suggesting Snowden was a disgruntled employee with a 'not stellar' career who felt victimized by his superiors.
