Wolf thinks Snowden is fake because he talks about all the bad things that might happen to him as a result of his leaking. She thinks that he's drawing attention to those bad things on purpose, to scare other potential whistleblowers.

But Greenwald was the one drawing attention to that stuff, by asking Snowden what he expected the US government to do to him. Snowden wasn't volunteering that on his own; it was Greenwald trying to play up the human-interest angle.
