HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019514.jpg
This document is page 26 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, processed as a House Oversight document (Bates: HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019514). It details Edward Snowden's time at the CIA in Geneva, alleging he was forced to resign due to adding unauthorized code to the CIA system, rather than being fired, to avoid a scandal ('necessary containment'). It contrasts the CIA's public narrative with internal accounts suggesting Snowden was a disgruntled employee with a 'not stellar' career who felt victimized by his superiors.
