This document is page 142 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, stamped as a House Oversight Committee exhibit. It analyzes Edward Snowden's flight to Russia, comparing it to Cold War spies like Kim Philby to suggest a potential prior intelligence connection. The text disputes Snowden's claim that he was 'trapped' in Russia, detailing how the State Department attempted to facilitate his return to the U.S. to face felony charges, including a specific detail about a typographical error regarding his middle name (James vs. Joseph) in communications with Hong Kong authorities.
