Speculative Theory of a Pre‑Existing Spy Mole Facilitating Snowden’s Leak

Speculative Theory of a Pre‑Existing Spy Mole Facilitating Snowden’s Leak The passage suggests a possible insider mole at NSA/Fort Meade who may have aided Snowden, citing a prior CIA warning about a Russian‑linked KGB mole. While it names former CIA station chief Tyler Drumheller and references a CIA mole warning, it provides no concrete names, dates, or evidence of transactions, making it a speculative lead. It is moderately controversial because it implicates U.S. intelligence agencies in a potential cover‑up, but the lack of verifiable details limits its immediate investigative utility. Key insights: Claims a CIA mole warned NSA of a possible Russian KGB mole at Fort Meade before Snowden’s 2013 leak.; Suggests the mole could have acted as an “umbrella” to protect Snowden and hide other espionage activities.; Quotes former CIA station chief Tyler Drumheller on the possibility Snowden carried more documents than known.
