      After "two years of investigation," the government charges... I faked a sick day and have a GED? Did they not watch the Guardian interview?

      Their report is so artlessly distorted that it would be amusing if it weren't such a serious act of bad faith. Let's take examples:

      The claim I exfiltrated data for journos 8 months prior to Clapper? False. That was HEARTBEAT (see film), an approved data handler.

      HEARTBEAT, which seems to be the source of their 1.5m number, was explicited authorized by two levels of my management. I built it.

      The committee seems to intentionally conflate my authorized government work with my unauthorized whistleblowing. Diminishes them.

      That NSA's programs were legal and I just didn't understand the nuance? The courts disagree:http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/08/us/nsa-phone-records-collection-ruled-illegal-by-appeals-court.html …

      Claim: I reported a critical problem (software updates taking field sites offline) to senior management, and was reprimanded. True!

      That doesn't say good things about going through "proper channels" at NSA. Not sure they understand how this hurts their case.

      The claim I "doctored performance evaluations?" This one is amazing: I reported an XSS (hacking) vulnerability in CIA annual review system.

          This was authorized by management in Geneva. I submitted a proof of concept to demonstrate the vulnerability. Deceptive framing.

          Army held me for weeks in a special unit for convalescence before separation. I left on crutches. They don't do that for "shin splints."

          That Russian guy? Speculation presented as fact. NPR accidentally omitted the speaker's "Ya dumayu" (English: "I think") in the translation.

          The original audio, which includes the "Ya dumayu," is available at the same link as the source article.

          I could go on. Bottom line: after "two years of investigation," the American people deserve better. This report diminishes the committee.
