This document is page 283 from a book (indicated by the filename 'Epst_...' likely referring to author Edward Jay Epstein) titled 'Snowden's Choices,' bearing a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's motivations, characterizing him as a calculating defector who used stolen NSA secrets on thumb drives as 'bait' or currency to secure protection from Chinese and Russian intelligence services. It details his CIA training at Fort Peary and argues that his choice of Russia contradicts a desire for civil liberties, suggesting his primary goal was escaping American retribution.
