Yes he was a little over the top likely because of alliances with both Snowden (obv) and Assange but his point was and is valid.
His point was completely asinine though. No you can't see direct evidence because this **** will happen and a ****ing kindergartner would understand that:

So we had numerous US intelligence agencies, I believe 19 by the end, all saying the same thing and even publishing memos to the public and on the other side, you had a nakedly corrupt Trump and Putin. And Greenwald is like what side should we believe, who knows, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, lemme see the raw intelligence or gtfo.
Its like he thinks the Republican party is so obviously despicable that he would rather focus his energies on the Democratic establishment because its a more challenging pursuit and he would rather prove the point that "everyone is corrupt."
And if you agree he has an alliance with Assange, then its just impossible to apologize for GG:
I mean come on, gmafb. Why should Julian Assange have so much power to implement his bizarre agenda? His biases are obvious and its completely unethical for a journalist to ally himself with someone who uses selective "transparency" the way Assange has to effect elections the way he does.
