Date: January 21st, 2018 2:41 PM Author: Canary cracking kitchen Thanks to this never-ending hot take, Greenwald has been excommunicated from the liberal salons that celebrated him in the Snowden era; anybody who questions the Russia consensus, he says, “becomes a blasphemer. Becomes a heretic. I think that’s what they see me as.” Greenwald is no longer invited on MSNBC, and he’s portrayed in the Twitter fever swamp as a leading villain of the self-styled Resistance. “I used to be really good friends with Rachel Maddow,” he says. “And I’ve seen her devolution from this really interesting, really smart, independent thinker into this utterly scripted, intellectually dishonest, partisan hack.” His view of the liberal online media is equally charitable. “Think about one interesting, creative, like, intellectually novel thing that [Vox’s] Matt Yglesias or Ezra Klein have said in like ten years,” he says. “In general, they’re just churning out Democratic Party agitprop every single day of the most superficial type.” (Reached for comment, none of these people would respond to Greenwald.)

Absolutely Devastating. And it has the added benefit of being true |

Date: January 21st, 2018 2:54 PM Author: Appetizing deer antler “If you believe the 2016 election was a populist uprising against complacent elites, the Russia preoccupation can seem like an effort to ignore what Trump voters — and Sanders voters — were trying to say. Alternatively, if you believe Trump’s victory was a Russia-perpetrated fraud, normalcy is restored simply by removing him from office. Which, conveniently, is what many hope Mueller’s Russia probe will do.”
What if you believe it was a popular uprising and that Trump also happens to be compromised by Russia because he spent the last 15 years laundering money for Kremlin-connected oligarchs and criminals ? |

Date: January 21st, 2018 3:12 PM Author: Appetizing deer antler Glad this author captured his utter intellectual dishonesty:
there’s virtually no revelation in the Russia story that could get Greenwald to change his mind. Which means that while Scahill and other Intercept colleagues tend to evaluate each new revelation at face value, Greenwald focuses disproportionately on debunked or overblown Russia stories. Ever the lawyer, he curates evidence that suits his argument. More than a year ago, the Washington Post published an erroneous story alleging that Russia had hacked into a U.S. electrical grid in Vermont. Greenwald continues to bring this up. To him, it’s not just a random piece of bad reporting but a crucial exhibit in a case he’s building.
Which makes his lack of interest in a report the Intercept itself produced all the more curious. In June, it published an explosive story that Russia had attempted to infiltrate voter-registration systems days before the election by sending phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials.
...
Greenwald’s selective outrage has become habitual. In November, The Atlantic published Twitter correspondence from 2016 in which a WikiLeaks representative gave Donald Trump Jr. campaign advice. Greenwald pooh-poohed the coordination, implying that Julian Assange was just playing his usual 4-D chess. Barrett Brown — a pro-transparency autodidact who served more than four years in federal prison for spreading hacked data and won a National Magazine Award for Intercept essays he wrote while incarcerated — was livid. “He doesn’t seem to be engaging on the actual revelations that keep coming out on Russia and Trump’s people,” Brown says. “My best guess is he’s just ignoring these things in favor of the less difficult argument that some people who are backing the Trump-Russia narrative are full of shit.” |

|
|
Date: January 21st, 2018 3:45 PM Author: Appetizing deer antler Oh I don’t know. Link to Greenwald writing about the fact that the Russian lawyer who met with Trumps entire high command, and was accompanied by a handful of intelligence agents, was in town to attend a hearing in a money laundering case in the SDNY against her clients, a group of FSB thugs who did this ( https://m.imgur.com/2lSLFM1?r ) to a Russian lawyer for Sergei Magnitsky, a political prisoner who uncovered their crimes (and was killed in custody)?
Did Greenwald tweet about the fact that while meeting with the Trump campaigns entire high command--including his idiot son, his now indicted campaign manager, and his soon-to-be indicted son in law--this Russian FSB lawyer lobbied for the elimination of the Magnitzky Act, a great law that is reviled by Russia's kleptocratic leaders, who are drawn from the worst elements of the legacy Soviet security apparatus?
Did Greenwald write any lengthy screeds about the meeting on AF1 the day news of the Don Jr meeting broke? The one in which the compromised “president” crafted his idiot son's response, saying the meeting was about "adoptions," which revealed that it was actually about the Mangitzky Act?
Has Greenwald ever tweeted about the fact that Trumps national security adviser visited GRU headquarters, or that a campaign advisers energy issues met with literal SVR recruiters on multiple occasions over several years? Or about the email Trumps campaign manager sent to Putin lackey / oligarch Oleg Deripaska, offering private briefings about the presidential campaign?
Has Glenn ever mentioned the real estate conference in Moscow in which Don Jr said “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia" and that "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets."? Has he ever retweeted the Reuters story about Trump Tower Panama being a huge money laundering vehicle for Russian criminals?
Has he ever expressed any interest about the $96 million sale of a Trump mansion to a Russian oligarch who bought that property at the height of the housing crash and paid 2x as much for it as Trump did at the height of the housing bubble? Ever retweet Palm Beach Post stories noting that the Russian oligarch did zero due diligence, never occupied the home and then razed it without setting foot in it? Ever retweet subsequent articles citing FAA records that showed that on multiple occasions during the campaign, the Russian oligarchs private jet randomly touched down in airports that Trump had just touched down in?
