Unsurprising that HPSCI's report is rifled with obvious falsehoods. The only surprise is how accidentally exonerating it is. 1/x

Claim: I took a trip to trip to the PRC while in Japan. Never happened -- not even transit. And USG knows this, because of passport control.
-
Claim: I went to a hacker conference, met Chinese hackers, then told people at NSA how great China is (seriously?). False and insane.
-
Moreover, I never went to any hacker con during my time in government, IIRC. Think my first was HOPE, speaking alongside Ellsberg-- in 2014!
-
I could go on forever. It is an endless parade of falsity so unbelievable it comes across as parody. Yet unintentionally exonerating:
-
They document me going, again and again -- over years, despite punishments -- to superiors to report complaints of waste, fraud, and abuse.
-
They characterize many of the best things I ever did -- standing up for co-workers, reporting XSS vulns in TS/SCI systems -- as wrongs.
-
Not one page mentions this journalism won the Pulitzer Prize for Public service, reformed our laws, and changed even the President's mind.
-
Yet they argue at length I should have gone to NSA's Inspector General. That he would end these abuses and protect whistleblowers.
-
But George Ellard, the NSA Inspector General, was just fired for retaliating against a whistleblower just like me.http://www.pogo.org/blog/2016/12/intelligence-community-landmark.html …

John Crane, who worked for DOD's IG, claims they intentionally destroyed exculpatory evidence about

Bottom line: this report's core claims are made without evidence, and are often contrary to both common sense and the public record.
-
Was I a pain in the ass to work with? Perhaps; many technologists are. But this report establishes no worse.
-
Final note: HPSCI's report admits I purged and abandoned hard drives rather than risk bringing them through Russia. Glad it's settled.

memo to self: trust random guy's opinion over the provable integrity and beneficial disclosures of

Provable integrity? Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security and Defence Commission openly stated Snowden is theirs!

You yawn because you know damn well you're bandwagonning. Try looking at reality, fool. It isn't a game

the whole world sees his deeds as heroicly self appointed, except those who have sh!t on their shoes.. Surprise?

You're wrong, they don't. It's mostly people who haven't got a clue that keep saying he's a hero. He betrayed us.
