HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019791.jpg
This document is a proof page (Epilogue, page 303) from a book, stamped by the House Oversight Committee. The file name 'Epst_9780451494566' indicates this is likely from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, rather than a document about Jeffrey Epstein. The text analyzes the public distrust in government following Edward Snowden's NSA leaks, specifically discussing Senator Dianne Feinstein's defense of intelligence programs regarding a 2009 New York subway plot.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019790.jpg
This document appears to be page 302 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by author Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename prefix 'Epst'), stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT'. The text analyzes the damage caused by Edward Snowden's 2013 intelligence leaks, specifically regarding the NSA's PRISM program and Department of Defense operations. It features quotes from Booz Allen Hamilton Vice-Chairman Michael McConnell stating that Snowden compromised more capability than any spy in U.S. history.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019789.jpg
This document is a scanned page (301) from the Epilogue of a book, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, stamped as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. The text analyzes the impact of Edward Snowden's leaks, crediting him with prompting Congress to modify the Patriot Act regarding domestic privacy while simultaneously criticizing him for damaging long-standing US intelligence methods used against foreign adversaries. It details the mechanics of NSA call chaining and the shift in how billing records are stored.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019786.jpg
This document appears to be page 298 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename 'Epst_...'). It details the operational fallout of the Edward Snowden leaks, specifically how terrorist targets using platforms like Xbox Live, Twitter, and Facebook ceased using these methods ('went dark') after the PRISM program was revealed in June 2013. The text cites NSA officials Richard Ledgett and Admiral Rogers confirming that the leaks resulted in a loss of surveillance capabilities against groups planning attacks in Europe and the US.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019785.jpg
This document appears to be page 297 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst' and ISBN), processed as part of a House Oversight investigation. The text discusses the negative impact of Edward Snowden's leaks on U.S. and allied intelligence capabilities, specifically citing former Paris prosecutor François Molins and CIA official Michael Morell. It details how terrorist groups like ISIS shifted to end-to-end encryption (specifically Telegram) to evade PRISM surveillance and mentions the 2014 discovery of ISIS plans to use biological weapons (bubonic plague) against Western targets.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019784.jpg
This page from the book "How America Lost Its Secrets" argues that Edward Snowden deliberately orchestrated leaks to compromise U.S. and British surveillance operations, including PRISM and NSA encryption capabilities. It details his coordination with journalists like Greenwald and Poitras and suggests that by recommending end-to-end encryption, Snowden compromised intelligence gathering on terrorist activities similar to how Robert Hanssen compromised operations in the 1990s.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019783.jpg
This document appears to be page 295 from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the footer filename and ISBN) included in House Oversight records. It details Edward Snowden's revelations regarding NSA and GCHQ surveillance programs, specifically XKeyscore and PRISM, and includes reactions from officials like Dianne Feinstein and Mike Rogers. The text explains how XKeyscore creates digital fingerprints for suspects and recounts Snowden's advice on evading surveillance by avoiding UK routing and U.S. internet companies.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019780.jpg
This page from "How America Lost Its Secrets" discusses intelligence failures regarding the Paris attacks, noting that physical evidence rather than electronic surveillance led to breakthroughs. It argues that secret communication monitoring is essential to prevent attacks on "soft targets" and describes how Edward Snowden's 2013 leaks compromised NSA programs, specifically the "215" program authorized by the Patriot Act.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019778.jpg
This document appears to be page 290 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (authored by Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename prefix 'Epst'). The text argues that Edward Snowden fits the definition of a 'defector' for providing intelligence secrets to a foreign power. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' production stamp and a print date of September 30, 2016.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019777.jpg
This page discusses the theory that Edward Snowden had an accomplice within the NSA to help him access sealed files. It also explores the mystery of his whereabouts during his first eleven days in Hong Kong, citing speculation by Mike Rogers about potential involvement with China versus U.S. intelligence's inability to track him.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019776.jpg
This document is page 288 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename and header). The text discusses Edward Snowden's motivations, rejecting the idea that he destroyed data before going to Russia, and analyzing his transition from whistleblower to espionage suspect. It details his work at Booz Allen Hamilton in Hawaii and his contact with journalists Greenwald, Poitras, and Gellman. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was produced as evidence in a Congressional investigation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019775.jpg
This page discusses the handling of Edward Snowden by Russian intelligence services, suggesting he was likely debriefed extensively rather than just passing through. It details the geopolitical consequences, including the cancellation of a summit between Obama and Putin, and asserts that despite Snowden's self-image as a whistleblower, Russian services viewed him as an espionage source to be exploited.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019774.jpg
This document is page 286 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (which likely explains the 'Epst' filename and inclusion in this search, rather than a connection to Jeffrey Epstein). The text details Edward Snowden's movement from Hong Kong to Moscow, alleging direct involvement by Russian intelligence and personal approval by Vladimir Putin. It argues that Snowden possessed critical NSA data that Russian services had sought for decades.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019773.jpg
This document appears to be page 285 from a book titled 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename prefix 'Epst' and ISBN in the footer), produced as evidence with a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp. The text, Chapter 28 titled 'The Espionage Source,' analyzes Edward Snowden's relationship with Russian intelligence, arguing that the Putin regime exfiltrated Snowden from Hong Kong because they viewed him as a valuable 'espionage source.' The author contends that Snowden's disillusionment with the NSA made him a prime target for exploitation by Russian services.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019771.jpg
This document is page 283 from a book (indicated by the filename 'Epst_...' likely referring to author Edward Jay Epstein) titled 'Snowden's Choices,' bearing a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's motivations, characterizing him as a calculating defector who used stolen NSA secrets on thumb drives as 'bait' or currency to secure protection from Chinese and Russian intelligence services. It details his CIA training at Fort Peary and argues that his choice of Russia contradicts a desire for civil liberties, suggesting his primary goal was escaping American retribution.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019770.jpg
This document is page 282 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets', stamped as evidence by the House Oversight Committee (file 019770). It details Edward Snowden's departure from Hong Kong to Moscow on June 23rd, following the unsealing of a U.S. criminal complaint. The text analyzes the geopolitical tensions involving the U.S., China, and Russia, noting that China likely allowed Snowden to leave to avoid complications during a scheduled meeting between Presidents Xi and Obama.
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_019767.jpg
This document is page 279 from a book proof, stamped 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019767'. The text details Edward Snowden's strategic decisions regarding his theft of NSA and GCHQ documents, his awareness of the risks (prison/assassination), and his decision to flee to Hong Kong rather than Brazil or remaining in the US. 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_019766.jpg
This document details Edward Snowden's deliberate transition to a position at Booz Allen Hamilton to gain "Priv Ac" clearance, allowing him to access and steal secret documents from allied intelligence services like Britain's GCHQ and Israel. The text argues that his actions constitute "expanding penetration" rather than whistleblowing, as he targeted lawful foreign operations and knew the damage his leaks would cause.
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_019763.jpg
This document is the first page of Chapter 27, titled "Snowden's Choices," likely from a book analyzing Edward Snowden's actions. The text discusses the ambiguity of Snowden's motives for stealing state secrets in 2013, noting his adaptability and the conflicting reports surrounding his activities. It sets up an analysis of four specific choices Snowden made during a nine-month period, using a chess analogy to decipher his strategy.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019759.jpg
This document appears to be page 271 from a book (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the ISBN in the footer), which was included in House Oversight Committee records. The text details the author's investigation into Edward Snowden, specifically focusing on Snowden's finances in Moscow and the assertion by his Russian lawyer, Kucherena, that Snowden brought secret NSA materials to Russia that were not given to journalists in Hong Kong. The page concludes with Ben Wizner denying the author's request for an interview with Snowden in March 2016.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019758.jpg
This document is a page from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, produced as part of a House Oversight investigation (stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019758). The text details an interview between the author and Snowden's Russian lawyer, Kucherena, discussing Snowden's potential possession of CIA files, the division of labor between his legal teams (Kucherena in Russia, Ben Wizner/ACLU in the US), and Snowden's financial state upon arriving in Russia. The document clarifies that media access to Snowden was controlled by Ben Wizner.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019757.jpg
This document is page 269 of a manuscript or book (likely titled 'The Handler' based on the header) produced by the House Oversight Committee. It details the events surrounding Edward Snowden's request for asylum in Russia, describing a bizarre 'press conference' with no press allowed. The text focuses on the author's conversations with Snowden's lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, regarding Snowden's 'dossier,' his interviews with Russian intelligence (FSB/SVR), and the confirmation that Snowden brought secret materials with him to Russia.
