This document appears to be a page from a book proof (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename prefix 'Epst') stamped as a House Oversight exhibit. It discusses Edward Snowden's (referred to as C4) communications with a journalist (implied Laura Poitras), contrasting Snowden's willingness to leak documents with William Binney's refusal to break the law. The text argues that Snowden misled the journalist regarding the scope of domestic surveillance in 2013, claiming the Stellarwind program had been terminated by President Bush and replaced by the more restrictive FISA Amendment Act of 2006.
