Exactly. What previously looked like amateurish mistakes now look like deliberate acts intended to demonstrate she was acting openly in the capacity of a whistleblower who always intended to answer for her actions. We’ve become used to treating Snowden and his sneaky ass treacherous bullshit as the model for this kind of thing that we forgot there is another, far more courageous way.
I agree, this scenario looks quite possible. It still seems really dumb to go to The Intercept with this instead of the Washington Post, but I think that’s an indicator of Greenwald’s unearned and unwarranted good reputation with millennials. He’s been portrayed as a hero to them, and nobody deserves it less.
