This document page, bearing a House Oversight stamp, details the legal maneuvering surrounding Edward Snowden's NSA leaks. It focuses on the involvement of ACLU lawyer Ben Wizner, who was brought in by journalists Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald to represent Snowden. The text outlines the legal challenges Wizner faced in seeking amnesty for Snowden, particularly distinguishing Snowden's actions from previous whistleblowers and managing the narrative regarding whether classified documents were taken to Russia.
