Event Details

This document page (labeled House Oversight) is a narrative analysis focusing on the impact of Edward Snowden's intelligence leaks. It details how Snowden communicated with journalists Laura Poitras and Jacob Appelbaum in 2013 and cites officials like Michael Morell and Admiral Rogers confirming that the leaks caused terrorist targets (specifically ISIS and those on the PRISM watch list) to go dark or change communication methods. The text references the November 2015 Paris attacks but concludes that while specific events can't be solely blamed on Snowden, his actions purposefully compromised intelligence operations.
