This document appears to be page 90 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename 'Epst_'), stamped as a House Oversight exhibit. It details the clandestine meeting in Hong Kong between whistleblower Edward Snowden and journalists Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald at the Mira Hotel. The text describes the specific tradecraft instructions Snowden provided, including the use of a Rubik's cube for identification, and Greenwald's initial impression of Snowden.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020250.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a narrative account or report (labeled Chapter Twelve) regarding Edward Snowden's initial meeting with journalists in Hong Kong in June 2013. It details the distress of his girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, back in Hawaii, noting she discovered their house flooded and her memory cards missing. Simultaneously, it outlines the specific 'tradecraft' instructions Snowden gave to journalists (including Poitras and Greenwald) to meet him at the Mira Hotel using a Rubik's cube as a signal.
