      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 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 …

      John Crane, who worked for DOD's IG, claims they intentionally destroyed exculpatory evidence about @Thomas_Drake1.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/22/how-pentagon-punished-nsa-whistleblowers …

      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.
