This document is page 11 (Prologue) of a book, likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename prefix 'Epst', produced during a House Oversight inquiry. It details the investigation into Edward Snowden's movements in Hong Kong in 2013, specifically noting a mysterious 11-day gap between May 20 and June 1 where he left no digital or paper trail (no credit card usage, ATM withdrawals, or phone calls) before checking into the Mira Hotel. The text argues that Snowden's failure to acquire visas for Latin American countries suggests his plan was always to go to Moscow.
