This document is page 127 of a House Oversight report analyzing intelligence failures and defectors. It contrasts the rejected asylum request of Chinese official Wang Lijun with the case of Edward Snowden, detailing concerns that Snowden may have been recruited by Russian intelligence as early as 2009 or during his financial troubles in Geneva. The text outlines three possible scenarios for when Snowden came under Russian control and cites assessments by CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell and NSA Director General Keith Alexander.
