Speculative timeline of Edward Snowden’s alleged recruitment by Russian intelligence and CIA/NSA internal decisions

Summary

Speculative timeline of Edward Snowden’s alleged recruitment by Russian intelligence and CIA/NSA internal decisions The passage outlines unverified scenarios linking Snowden to Russian intelligence and mentions high‑level officials (Michael Morell, Gen. Keith Alexander) discussing counter‑measures. It provides dates and possible recruitment windows, which could guide further inquiry, but offers no concrete evidence, documents, or transactions. Key insights: Three possible periods when Snowden may have been under Russian control (pre‑NSA, post‑Hong Kong, post‑Russia arrival).; Reference to CIA’s aborted 2009 investigation of Snowden and his resignation.; Allegation that Snowden’s speculative losses in Geneva attracted foreign intelligence interest.
