If true...is the assertion that Snowden waved a magic wand and made the air-gapped information in VA grow wings and fly to Hawaii?

Or is the assertion that some separate (and never caught?) source operating in VA was passing out copies of air-gapped data, and Snowden just happened to be one of the recipients of that?

Or - far more plausible, in light of details we've heard recently about the Teixeira leak - the actual practices in VA were so shoddy that the whole "...air-gapped...not internet enabled..." claim is just CYA BS?



Well, in likelihood he never actually had that data or that access. He just thought he did at the time of the interview.
