16. Nothing in there says that Greenwald said that. You have misread.

Let's review (said in irritated teacher voice):

1. Mr. Miranda was in Berlin to deliver documents related to Mr. Greenwald’s investigation into government surveillance to Ms. Poitras, Mr. Greenwald said.
= That means that Greenwald said the documents related to his investigation.

2. Those documents, which were stored on encrypted thumb drives, were confiscated by airport security, Mr. Greenwald said.
= That means Greenwald said the documents were confiscated and on encrypted thumb drives.

3. All of the documents came from the trove of materials provided to the two journalists by Mr. Snowden.
= That means that it is an unsubstantiated claim and the author does NOT attribute it to Snowden.
