Book Excerpt / House Oversight Committee Document • 1.62 MB
View

This document appears to be page 143 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the footer 'Epst' and the ISBN), which is part of a House Oversight Committee production. It details Edward Snowden's departure from Hong Kong on June 23, the legal maneuvering by his lawyer Jonathan Man, and the U.S. government's frantic efforts—led by FBI Director Mueller and Obama adviser Lisa Monaco—to prevent him from reaching Russia. It concludes with Vladimir Putin admitting in a September 3 press briefing that Snowden had made prior contact with Russian diplomatic representatives in Hong Kong. NOTE: While the author is Edward Jay Epstein, the content is about Edward Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein.

Book Manuscript / Report Page (House Oversight Committee Production) • 1.53 MB
View

This document is page 269 of a manuscript or book (likely titled 'The Handler' based on the header) produced by the House Oversight Committee. It details the events surrounding Edward Snowden's request for asylum in Russia, describing a bizarre 'press conference' with no press allowed. The text focuses on the author's conversations with Snowden's lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, regarding Snowden's 'dossier,' his interviews with Russian intelligence (FSB/SVR), and the confirmation that Snowden brought secret materials with him to Russia.
