This document is a page (page 117) from a book titled 'The Great Divide' (likely referring to a chapter title within a book about Snowden), processed as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. The text discusses the legal precedents set by the Obama administration regarding government whistleblowers/leakers, specifically citing the convictions of Manning, Kiriakou, and others as warnings that Snowden likely ignored. It contrasts the legal view of these actions as lawbreaking with the moral view held by supporters and Snowden's lawyer, Ben Wizner, who frame the actions as civil disobedience against surveillance.
