This page from a House Oversight document (Bates 020347) details the logistics and motivations behind Edward Snowden's flight from Hong Kong to Moscow in 2013. It argues that Snowden likely never intended to travel to Latin America (Ecuador or Cuba) because he feared CIA capture there, a sentiment he expressed to journalists like Katrina vanden Heuvel and Glenn Greenwald. The document recounts the media frenzy surrounding Aeroflot flight SU-150, noting that while reporters swarmed the plane based on a tip, Snowden was never on board.

This document is a page from a House Oversight report detailing the timeline and circumstances of Edward Snowden's flight from Hong Kong to Russia in 2013. It refutes Snowden's claim that he was trapped in Russia by the US, presenting evidence that his passport was revoked before he left Hong Kong and that the Russian government (specifically Putin and Aeroflot) facilitated his travel. It also implicates WikiLeaks in funding and assisting his escape and cites Russian officials claiming Snowden shared intelligence with Russian security services.
