DOD Official Says Snowden Stole “Literally Everything”

An unnamed
“ranking Department of Defense official” has told The Daily Caller
that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden “stole everything — literally
everything.”

The Daily Caller’s reporting goes on to mention that
intelligence officials in the U.K. and the U.S. have considered the
possibility that Snowden may have a secret cache of information
that includes the locations of undercover intelligence workers,
which could act as an insurance policy against his capture.

From
The Daily Caller:

Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden stole
vastly more information than previously speculated, and is holding
it at ransom for his own protection.

“What’s floating is so dangerous, we’d be behind for twenty
years in terms of access (if it were to be leaked),” a ranking
Department of Defense official told the Daily Caller.

cache

Earlier this month, the editor of The Guardian said
that only
1 percent of the documents leaked by Snowden have been
published.
