Good question. What we already know. Snowden worked for CIA and was loaned out to NSA then stole and leaked NSA information gathering programs. Now we learn he also leaked CIA Vault7 program. This seems to go against his original mission of taking down the NSA. His mission was to "infiltrate" NSA? "Centralize" make the leaks all about NSA? Secure? Secure what? Expose to HARM? Not sure what this means exactly. Expose what to HARM? Snowden himself? The data? The organizations (NSA, CIA.)
I have a feeling that CIA may have returned fire due to Snowden double crossing them by releasing Vault7? That's why Snowden took refuge with the Russians. He had both NSA and CIA after that ass. Now I believe our guys (NSA) are trying to bring him in from out in the cold.
I'm not sure what Q is trying to tell us here, exactly. I think HARM is significant and doesn't mean harm as in "to hurt." Also White House interference is most likely referring to Obama White House and how they reacted to Snowden.
I believe Fiddler is important to understanding a lot of this.
Expand your thinking.
Who leaked Vault7 to WL?
Who returned fire?

Mara for reply in morning. Gotta watch a fishing video before I go nuts.
HARM = High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile
The AGM-88 can detect, attack and destroy a radar antenna or transmitter with minimal aircrew input. The proportional guidance system that homes in on enemy radar emissions has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile's nose. A smokeless, solid-propellant, booster-sustainer rocket motor propels the missile at speeds over Mach 2. HARM, a U.S. Navy-led program, was initially integrated onto the A-6E, A-7 and F/A-18 and later onto the EA-6B. RDT&E for use on the F-14 was begun, but not completed. The USAF introduced HARM on the F-4G Wild Weasel and later on specialized F-16s equipped with the HARM Targeting System (HTS). The HTS pod, used by the USAF only, allows F-16 to detect and automatically target radars with HARMs instead of relying on the missile sensor alone.

Who played the fiddle while Rome burned? Nero.
Who was the director of the CIA during the time that Snowden was doing his burning down the US Intelligence structure? John Owen Brennan was the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from March 2013 to January 2017. Snowden flew the coop on May 20, 2013. Prior to that, General David Petraeus was director of the CIA. . . but perhaps it was Emperor Barack Hussein Obama. . . fiddling away in the White House.
