In Citizenfour (the scene I was referencing but neglected to mention) GG explicitly mentions this slide, as well as the existence of another whistleblower. Of course the situation might be more complicated than that, but it&#x27;s clear the story was in the making for quite some time.<p>I also recall Laura Poitras mentioning the work that Jeremy Scahill was doing on this topic at one of the Q&amp;A&#x27;s she did.
