NSA Blame Game: The Russians Call it "Maskirovka".

Russia may have helped the former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden to reveal details of surveillance programmes and escape US authorities last year, the chairman of the House intelligence committee claimed on Sunday.

Mike Rogers, a Republican representative from Michigan, interviewed by NBC’s Meet the Press, said Snowden was “a thief whom we believe had some help”, and added that there was an “ongoing” investigation into whether Russia had aided Snowden.
Rogers is right up there with DiFi, they're both stalwart defenders of our national police state, as well as all things NSA and CIA. Neither one of them have been for any substantive reforms, at least until a groundswell of public opinion arose for reforms. So they're not exactly what one could call unbiased. If a NSA spook whispered this shit in Rogers's ear, you can bet your bippy that he'd be blabbing it to the press in a femtosecond.

More to the point of this post, you'd have to be naïve as all hell to not entertain the possibility that any so-called evidence that the Russians aided Snowden has been forged by the NSA (or the CIA or DIA). Given that those fuckers have been having wet dreams about whacking Snowden, it's completely plausible that their claims of Snowden getting Russian assistance are false and supported by false documents.
