It's rather convenient that they put the blame on Snowden's 2-5 year old documents (and they had plenty of time since the documents came out to deal with the spies issues, if it was indeed a problem related to his documents) right after this happened:
"How much info did hackers steal on US spies? Try all of it":
1) not look completely incompetent in the OPM hack (even though probably about half the executive needs to be fired over it, but in typical Obama fashion all the actual criminals will get protected)
2) make people hate Snowden so he "goes away" and stops making "freedom speeches" and such

They're trying to hit two birds with one stone:
1) not look completely incompetent in the OPM hack (even though probably about half the executive needs to be fired over it, but in typical Obama fashion all the actual criminals will get protected)
2) make people hate Snowden so he "goes away" and stops making "freedom speeches" and such
