He's a knowledgeable US Constitutional lawyer as well as a journalist, and he's lived in Brazil for I think about 20 years, since the NSA's warrantless surveillance controversy was exposed (as you'll recall, he was instrumental in helping to get Snowden's info out). Greenwald should have an informed opinion on what's happening now in V.

(He can be strident and sometimes speaks too broadly, and he's very critical of the MSM and Old Guard Dem establishment; but I find his legal analyses correct and his reporting on current events worth hearing.)
