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

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 …

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.
