Snowden’s April 2013 NSA Legal Inquiry and Pre‑Exit Communications
Snowden’s April 2013 NSA Legal Inquiry and Pre‑Exit Communications The passage provides specific dates, internal NSA correspondence, and Snowden’s pre‑departure actions that could be pursued for evidence of internal legal guidance and possible cover‑ups. While it adds detail to known events, it does not introduce new high‑level actors or undisclosed financial flows, limiting its impact. Key insights: Snowden asked NSA General Counsel whether agency directives supersede Acts of Congress on April 5, 2013.; The General Counsel replied that congressional acts take precedence, addressing Snowden as “Dear Ed.”; Snowden completed orientation on April 12, 2013, then traveled to Hawaii on April 13.
