My take on it was David Gregory was assuming, in his line of questioning, that Snowden is already a convicted felon so Greenwald is potentially aiding & abetting. Greenwald began his answer by saying Gregory's assumption in his question was flawed - therefore he couldn't be aiding & abetting someone who wasn't convicted of any crime. So while he didn't directly say "No" - he did give a pretty convincing answer by dismissing Gregory's premise from the outset.

Snowden broke the law as he distributed classified materials contrary to his legal access and responsibilities, but Glenn Greenwald has no such legal liability. David Gregory has forgotten what journalism is. It's not sitting on TV bloviating and collecting a fat paycheck.
