Firstly,

Joe Biden forced Snowden to stop in Russia

Is utter garbage. Anybody who knows anything about Russian visas (and I do) knows that is literally impossible. Snowden could never have gotten on the plane to begin with without at least a Russian transit visa. The airlines are really picky about this stuff and check passports and visas very carefully, because by international agreement the airline is responsible for re-transporting anyone who is refused entry into a country. Snowden HAD TO HAVE a Russian permission of some kind to get on the plane in the first place.

And secondly, let's remember that the Intercept announced publicly that they were never going to publish the rest of the Snowden files, which they still have. You might want to question Greenwald's ex-business partner Pierre Omiydar about that.

But he was trapped in the Moscow International Airport

Is just fucking laughable, anybody who believes that is a fool. That was the dumbest dog-and-pony show I have ever seen. Snowden was likely picked up at the airport on arrival and whisked away to a safe haven.

Greenwald may tell the truth sometimes. But not always.

Also I remember reading recently that Snowden has been offered Russian citizenship. For a foreigner to get Russian citizenship is almost impossible.

I like Russia, I have no problem with Snowden living there. But Greeenwald is yanking your chain with this shit.
