Read from the HPSCI report here: https://www.lawfareblog.com/hpsci-releases-full-snowden-report https://www.lawfareblog.com/hpsci-releases-full-snowden-repo... > Again, any evidence besides some half-baked government PR? He didn't have any documents with him by the time he left HK. What evidence do you have that he didn't? His public denials? Do you think someone in his position would have any reason to lie about such a thing? But let's say he didn't take any materials with him to Russia. What was stopping Russia intelligence services from debriefing him? Here is the quote from a member of Russian parliament (deputy chairman of the defense and security committee, Frants Klintsevich) "Let's be frank," he says. "Snowden did share intelligence. This is what security services do," adds Klintsevich. "If there's a possibility to get information, they will get it." That was in a NPR interview transcript: https://www.npr.org/2016/06/29/483890378/during-tenure-in-russia-edward-snowden-has-kept-a-low-profile https://www.npr.org/2016/06/29/483890378/during-tenure-in-ru... Maybe there's something missed in the translation there, but it seems pretty plainly stated there. And in the HPSCI report they claim ongoing contact with Russian intelligence services by Snowden. Now maybe they were just acting as chaperones for him and expected absolutely nothing in return. But that to me seems hard to believe.
