(101,438 posts)As has been repeatedly pointed out, Greenwald and Poitras already have all that Snowden obtained. There would be no need to 'courier' any of it between them. However, the journalism and documentaries that each produces might be of interest to the other (for inclusion in either, or for commentary by either, for example). They might also want the other to have a copy in case one of them is arrested at any point, or to have encryption keys for it. This is, especially given the attacks on them by the UK and US governments and their lackeys (yeah, that means you), a wise policy, and completely legal. Since the government you slavishly support is so desperate, and so cavalier with rights of privacy, it's reasonable for someone they both trust to do the travelling. Miranda, after all, has not published any of the data they wanted to hide.
But your authoritarian masters have decided that partners are now 'fair game'.
