This document is page 149 from a book manuscript (likely Edward Jay Epstein's 'How America Lost Its Secrets', indicated by the ISBN in the footer) stamped by the House Oversight Committee. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's 2013 theft of NSA secrets, contrasting the 'whistle-blower' narrative with counterintelligence perspectives that suggest he acted like a 'penetration agent.' It details the FBI's findings on Snowden's unauthorized access methods and discusses the methodology of 'scenario building' in counterintelligence investigations.

This document appears to be page 47 of a book manuscript (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename ISBN) produced as part of a House Oversight Committee investigation. The text analyzes the psychological motivations of leakers, referencing Edward Shils' work on the 'torment of secrecy,' and details Edward Snowden's mindset and access levels at the NSA in 2012. It describes Snowden's SCI clearance and his rhetorical questioning of colleagues regarding the potential impact of leaking secret data.

This document appears to be page 163 from a book proof (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename) titled 'The Question of When,' produced as part of a House Oversight investigation. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's flight to Hong Kong, speculating on whether Russian or Chinese intelligence steered him there or recruited him based on his dissatisfaction with the NSA. It discusses the strategic value of Snowden's leaked documents and the timeline of when foreign adversaries became aware of his actions.

This document appears to be page 223 of a House Oversight report (stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020375) detailing the impact of Edward Snowden's leaks on NSA surveillance capabilities. It describes three specific programs compromised by Snowden: the '215' phone record program, PRISM (Section 702) which intercepted internet data, and XKeyscore which tracked digital fingerprints. The text also details Snowden's warnings regarding British GCHQ surveillance and the interception of data passing through the UK.

This document appears to be 'Chapter Eleven' of a report or book regarding Edward Snowden, filed under House Oversight records. It details Snowden's flight from Hawaii to Hong Kong via Narita on May 20th, his logistics (carrying cash, avoiding credit cards, carrying NSA keys/documents), and his initial concealment in Hong Kong with the help of a 'carer' and lawyer Albert Ho. It specifically mentions his possession of TS/SCI/NOFORN documents.

This document is page 217 of a book (identified by the filename ISBN as 'Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales') included as an exhibit in a House Oversight Committee investigation (Bates stamped). The text details systemic cybersecurity failures within the U.S. intelligence community's vetting process, specifically focusing on contractors USIS and Booz Allen Hamilton, and the OPM's e-QIP system. It highlights how these vulnerabilities allowed foreign actors (China and Russia) and hacker groups (Anonymous) to access sensitive personnel data, noting that Edward Snowden used these compromised systems to update his clearance in 2011.

This document page, marked with a House Oversight footer, discusses theories surrounding Edward Snowden's removal of documents from the NSA. It speculates on the possibility of a hypothetical accomplice within the NSA and suggests that even if Snowden acted as an idealist, he may have been entangled by Russian intelligence services. Note: The text contains a likely typo in the second paragraph ('it does exclude' likely meant 'it does not exclude').

This document appears to be page 187 of a narrative report or book submitted to the House Oversight Committee (Bates stamp 020339). The text details the 2013 flight of Edward Snowden from Hong Kong to Russia, the inability of US intelligence to capture him, and the strategic fallout of the NSA leaks. It discusses intelligence tradecraft (referencing James Angleton) regarding how foreign adversaries (Russia/China) would likely obscure their involvement or the intelligence gained from the leak. Note: This specific page contains no references to Jeffrey Epstein, despite the user's prompt context.

This document appears to be page 145 from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename 'Epst') discussing the investigation into Edward Snowden's theft of NSA documents. It details the intelligence community's concerns about how a civilian contractor could steal vital secrets without detection and the implications for national security. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a congressional review or investigation.

This document, page 119 of a House Oversight production, analyzes the distinction between whistle-blowers and spies through the historical examples of Philip Agee and Edward Snowden. It details Agee's 1969 departure from the CIA and subsequent provision of secrets to the KGB and Cuban intelligence. It parallels this with Snowden's 2013 theft of NSA data, arguing that Snowden's behavior—specifically taking a job to access secrets—aligns more with 'penetration agents' than whistle-blowers, and discusses the counterintelligence investigation into how he breached secure systems.
