According to his Guardian interview, he claimed to have "full access to the rosters of everyone working at the NSA, the entire intelligence community, and undercover assets all around the world, the locations of every station we have, what their missions are and so forth".
Most of this information was not given to the journalists. It could be he was bluffing about what kind of access he had (was very likely). But he claimed to have much more information than he showed the journalists in Hong Kong.
FWIW (obviously taken with a grain of salt) - the intelligence community themselves at least believed and acted as if he took a bunch of classified documents with him - despite not believing him that he actually had lists of undercover assets and stations: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-33125068 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-33125068
- Dah00n 3y agoWe have a claim from the US government – which is clearly an unreliable source – and we have Snowden himself who says he didn't share more than he felt he had to. The GP said “he haded files to the Russians” which is a claim I still have seen no proof of.
