Snowden was relatively compartmented access, all are by design.
Snowden may or may not have destroyed all his copies.
Perhaps up to around four other people besides him
have held a full copy in their hands at various points.
Greenwald nearly certainly still has a full copy.
The Intercept arose from and owes to that.
Datasharing to outside journos was supposedly being agreed on.
Cryptome was keeping a rough tally of pages released.
Which pales compared to various size estimates of the stash.
Greenwald et al have never really said the size,
nor released anywhere near the full stash.
Everything regarding doc release has essentially stopped.
Which is weird, and unexplained.
Particularly if release is not dependant upon some future timing / event.
In their silence regarding the rest, questions abound.
While oppurtunity to drive change evaporates.

Perhaps journos are not so much activists / trusted as some may have thought?
Perhaps redacted leaks and censored speech did not expose enough names
who when then questioned would expose their upstream all the way to top?
And not enough program tech data exposed to shutter ops thus bring to
their knees?

There are still some minutes left in the game.
Who has the ball? Who will run for goal? Or steal it? And score?
