This document appears to be page 35 from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename and content style) stamped as a House Oversight document. It details Edward Snowden's hypocrisy in 2010-2011, where he criticized corporate cooperation with the NSA on Ars Technica under the alias 'TrueHooHa' while simultaneously seeking renewed security clearance to work for Dell. It also discusses the privatization of government background checks initiated in 1996, specifically focusing on USIS (owned first by Carlyle Group, then Providence Equity Partners) and its profit-driven approach to NSA vetting.
