      An indicator of HPSCI's slant is the knowing omission of my strident, well-documented criticisms of Russian policy:https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-09-08/snowden-is-turning-into-a-liability-for-putin …

      Despite this, they claim without evidence I'm in cahoots with Russian intel. Everyone knows this is false, but let's examine their basis:

      This is the standard of evidence the worst claims they level are based on, after three years and millions of dollars. But it goes on.

      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!

      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.

          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.
