2/ What Gellman documents aren't small errors. They are distortions, fabrications & lies on key points. Epstein's book has so many more.
1/ @BartonGellman destroys that Epstein/WSJ op-ed on Snowden, calling it "bad faith work" filled w/"distortions"https://twitter.com/bartongellman/status/815672306169212929 …

3/ Epstein is a WSJ neocon & ex-Breitbart writer who's long spun wild theories on Snowden being a spy. My favorite: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304831304579542402390653932 …pic.twitter.com/EA9fl4oi9d

4/ Like so many who began calling Snowden a Chinese spy, Epstein seamlessly shifted to "Russia Spy" when events disproved his first theory.
-
@ggreenwald Did Epstein write about Snowden as Chinese spy anywhere? I remember that too, but can't find. -
@SamAdlerBell He said from the start that he was either a Russian spy, a Chinese spy, or both.pic.twitter.com/Q2v7IzOvU5
-
@ggreenwald yes I remember this shit. repeated in his book. but did he switch from emphasizing China to Russia? -
@SamAdlerBell Yes. His new book is all about Russian spy theory. Little to no China. -
@ggreenwald So I've noticed. -
@ggreenwald was trying to see if there was a more stark "he's 100% a Chinese spy" to "he's a Russian spy" from before/after asylum. -
@SamAdlerBell I do have a vague recollection of him saying China before the Moscow trip but so many were - could be wrong, will check. - Show more

5/ As Gellman says, Epstein's claim Snowden "removed" 1.5 million docs is baseless. Even Keith Alexander admits that http://www.afr.com/technology/web/security/interview-transcriptformer-head-of-the-nsa-and-commander-of-the-us-cyber-command-general-keith-alexander-20140507-itzhw …pic.twitter.com/zgGoCZMY7m

6/ As for Snowden working with Russia, even top US NatSec officials- who hate him-reject this. Ex-CIA chief Morrell: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/06/cia-s-ex-no-2-says-isis-learned-from-snowden.html …pic.twitter.com/axM90fQt7f

7/ And even NSA officials have rejected Epstein's idea that Snowden ever worked with Russia. Ex-DepDir John Inglis:https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/742285301947596800 …
