This document is page 20 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (authored by Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename, though the content concerns Edward Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein). The text argues that Edward Snowden did not meet the CIA's academic or military minimum requirements for employment. It suggests, via a quote from former CIA station chief Tyler Drumheller, that Snowden was hired only because he 'had some pull,' likely stemming from his grandfather, Rear Admiral Barrett, who was a leader in a high-level interagency task force involving the CIA, FBI, and DEA. The page bears a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp.
