Greenwald went on Tucker's show, to beg Trump to pardon Assange. [0] The theory is that this is the surest way to communicate with Trump. Snowden just appeared on Rogan to argue on Assange's behalf. Those who actually respect Greenwald's and Snowden's judgment, join them in supporting Assange.
I just view Greenwald as a more careful agitator that maintained proper distance. Assange, Greenwald, and Snowden make quite an interesting trio in the discussion of state secrets. I don’t really question Snowden+Greenwald’s legitimacy. I think Snowden is in sharp contrast to Assange who has never demonstrated any real integrity or principles other than attacking Democrats during the 2016 election. Assange and Trump are useful puppets off a hostile state or directly actors of said state. Snowden is a legitimate whistleblower and his intentions are much harder to question.
Assange: "29 year old young man in a foreign jurisdication he had no experience with, the subject of the largest intelligence man hunt the world has ever seen... at that moment, he reached out and asked us for help."
Snowden: "While all of these news organisations around the world, all of these publishers, were trying to get a piece of the story, there was only one publisher that actually said we want to help the source. We want to make sure he's okay. We want to make sure that no matter what happens, he has somebody on his side, and that was Wikileaks."
