I have no doubt he will FULLY and COMPLETELY investigate Putin's bold claim that there is in no way whatsoever any mass data collection on his own citizens or foreign nations, no matter how dark and ugly the path to the truth gets...After all, that's what good, professional "journalists" do, instead of pretending they're too important to cover a story, or getting into nonstop twitter fights...

If Greenwald somehow has the stones to pull THAT off, not only is he guaranteed another Pulitzer; they might just change the award to the "Greenwald"...I'm not betting on any of that becoming a reality, though....

And for the record, he will have plenty to apologize for if he continues to play blind-deaf-dumb whenever someone says "Russia"
