Was Snowden the source of the FISC warrant re Verizon?

[FarCenter]

The first thing that Greenwald published in the Guardian was the FISA court warrant to Verizon Business Services.

The Washington Post later chimed in with a "we've talked with people and they say it looks authentic" story, but they do not seem to have had the document.

Both Guardian and WaPo seemed to have had the PRISM and Boundless Informant powerpoint presentations and the Boundless Informant FAQ.

Was Edward Snowden the source for the court warrant? Or did Greenwald get it from a different source?

1. The guy would be wise to get a good lawyer and shut his damn mouth

But I'd say this guy is not overly smart.

2. It may be that Greenwald is feeding him to the dogs, to distract the dogs from his other informant

Not that it is likely to work. But the public furor is useful to him.

3. When fleeing the country to avoid arrest, may I recommend ...

going to one of the countries that DOES NOT have a reciprocal extradition agreement with the US.

What is the point of fleeing to a country that will just extradite you in a few days?

As I said, this guy is none too smart. It is as if he just woke up one morning and said "You know, I think I'll leak some classified documents today."
