HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019659.jpg
This document is page 171 from a book, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by ISBN in footer '9780451494566' and file prefix 'Epst'). The text discusses the dispute over the number of documents Edward Snowden stole from the NSA, referencing interviews with James Bamford and claims by Glenn Greenwald. It mentions a Defense Intelligence Agency report regarding 900,000 compromised Pentagon documents revealed via a Vice FOIA request. While the file bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, the content relates to the Edward Snowden leaks, not Jeffrey Epstein.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019658.jpg
This document is page 170 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (ISBN 9780451494566), authored by Edward Jay Epstein. While the document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, the content is unrelated to Jeffrey Epstein; it details the 2013 NSA data breach by Edward Snowden. The text analyzes the volume of data stolen (1.7 million documents touched, 1.3 million copied), Snowden's employment at Booz Allen and Dell, and compares the incident to Cold War-era espionage.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019657.jpg
This document appears to be page 169 from a book (Chapter 17: 'The Keys to the Kingdom Are Missing') discussing Edward Snowden and the NSA leak. It references journalist Greenwald describing the stolen documents as an 'instruction manual' for the NSA, and NSA official Ledgett confirming the loss of the 'keys to the kingdom.' The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, suggesting it was used as an exhibit in a congressional investigation. Note: The file slug 'Epst' refers to the author Edward Jay Epstein (author of 'How America Lost Its Secrets'), not Jeffrey Epstein.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019656.jpg
This document is page 168 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets'. While the file name includes an Epstein reference ('Epst_...'), the text details Edward Snowden's asylum in Russia, his relationship with his lawyer Kucherena, his cooperation with the FSB, and his appearance on a telethon with Vladimir Putin. It argues that Snowden received sanctuary and perks in exchange for cooperation and intelligence.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019655.jpg
This document is page 167 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the ISBN in the filename). It details Edward Snowden's time at Sheremetyevo Airport and the pressure applied by the FSB for him to cooperate. It highlights quotes from former US intelligence chief Michael Hayden regarding the inevitability of Snowden being exploited by Russian intelligence, and introduces Anatoly Kucherena, a lawyer linked to Putin who took Snowden on as a client. The document bears a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019654.jpg
This document appears to be page 166 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets', likely included in a House Oversight production file (Bates HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019654). The text details Edward Snowden's time in the Moscow airport transit zone, the control exerted over him by the Russian FSB, and commentary from Russian officials and former KGB agents asserting that Snowden likely shared US intelligence with Russia. While the file name includes 'Epst' (possibly referring to Epstein), the text content is exclusively about the Snowden intelligence leak.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019653.jpg
This document appears to be page 165 from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename, though the content is about Edward Snowden) stamped with House Oversight markings. It details the geopolitical maneuvering surrounding Edward Snowden's flight from Hong Kong to Moscow on June 23 via Aeroflot, arranged by Sarah Harrison. The text discusses the leverage Russian officials held over Snowden, his lack of travel documents, and the 'special operation' used to detain him upon arrival in Russia, preventing him from traveling to other nations like Cuba or Ecuador.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019652.jpg
This document appears to be a page (164) from a book titled 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename 'Epst...'). The text analyzes Edward Snowden's defection, suggesting Vladimir Putin allowed Snowden into Russia not out of kindness, but to exploit him as an intelligence asset to disrupt US interests, similar to Cold War tactics. It also notes Snowden's awareness of the legal consequences he faced, citing his interest in the Bradley Manning trial. The page bears a House Oversight Committee stamp.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019651.jpg
This document appears to be page 163 from a book proof (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename) titled 'The Question of When,' produced as part of a House Oversight investigation. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's flight to Hong Kong, speculating on whether Russian or Chinese intelligence steered him there or recruited him based on his dissatisfaction with the NSA. It discusses the strategic value of Snowden's leaked documents and the timeline of when foreign adversaries became aware of his actions.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019650.jpg
This document is page 162 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, bearing a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp. The text discusses the 'Hong Kong Scenario,' suggesting that Edward Snowden may have been brought under Russian intelligence control during his stay in Hong Kong, citing Vladimir Putin's admission of engagement. It also details Snowden's communications with activists like Runa Sandvik and Laura Poitras, noting that NSA sources believed Russian intelligence could bypass their encryption methods.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019649.jpg
This document appears to be page 161 from a book manuscript (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein based on the filename ISBN) produced during a House Oversight investigation. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's actions, questioning whether he was a Russian asset or a whistleblower. It argues that Snowden's contact with journalists Greenwald and Poitras contradicts the behavior of a controlled Russian intelligence asset, as it risked exposing the operation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019648.jpg
This document appears to be page 160 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, implied by the filename 'Epst_...'), produced as part of a House Oversight investigation (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019648). The text discusses the timeline of Edward Snowden's potential recruitment by Russian intelligence, citing General Alexander's concerns about manipulation. It details the 'NSA Scenario,' suggesting Snowden may have been compromised as early as 2009 after leaving the CIA and incurring financial losses in Geneva.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019647.jpg
This document appears to be page 159 from a book (likely by author Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename code) included in a House Oversight investigation. It analyzes intelligence tradecraft regarding 'walk-ins' and defectors, discussing the strategic value of turning them into moles versus exfiltrating them. Specific cases discussed include the rejected asylum request of Chinese police chief Wang Lijun in 2012 and the flight of Edward Snowden to Russia.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019646.jpg
This document is page 158 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename 'Epst_...'), stamped with a House Oversight Committee production number. The text details the history and significance of 'walk-ins' (self-generated spies) in Cold War espionage, citing examples such as Alexander Poteyev, Robert Hanssen, and Anatoliy Golitsyn. It discusses the motives for espionage, ranging from financial gain to ideology, and mentions a 1990 PFIAB review regarding U.S. spies.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019645.jpg
This document is page 157 (Chapter 16) from a book proof, stamped 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019645'. 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_019644.jpg
This document is page 156 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, bearing a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019644) dated September 29, 2016. The text discusses Edward Snowden, speculating that even if his motives were idealistic, he may have been manipulated by intelligence services. Note: While this document appears in an 'Epstein' related search, it is authored by Edward Jay Epstein (a journalist) regarding national security, and does not appear to be related to Jeffrey Epstein.
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. The text speculates on whether Edward Snowden had a hidden collaborator within the NSA, drawing parallels to historical Russian moles like Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames. It includes details of an interview the author conducted with KGB handler Victor Cherkashin in Moscow in 2015 regarding the ability of intelligence services to hide moles.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019642.jpg
This document is a page (154) from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets', marked with a House Oversight Bates stamp and an 'Epst' filename prefix, suggesting inclusion in the Epstein/Maxwell discovery materials. The text discusses theories regarding Edward Snowden's NSA breach, specifically exploring the possibility that he was unwittingly used as an 'umbrella' by an existing Russian/KGB mole within the NSA to hide their own activities. It references comments by former CIA station chief Tyler Drumheller and details a 2010 warning about a potential mole at Fort Meade.
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_019636.jpg
This document appears to be page 148 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the ISBN in the footer), included in a House Oversight Committee production. The text discusses the blurred lines between whistle-blowers and spies, citing historical examples such as Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, the 1971 FBI office burglary in Media, PA, and Philip Agee's defection to the KGB. It concludes by introducing the Edward Snowden case.
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.
