what do Dem Under-grounders think of Greenwald?
I notice in Twitter he starts a discussion from a 'left' viewpoint and then gradually white ants his own points. Currently claiming others have created an atmosphere of Russia = Treason when it is Donald Trump who has created an incredibly damaging divide in the country and has revved up his supporters to viciously attack anyone who dares to question or criticize him, as basically being treasonous.
Greenwald has agreed Sessions lied and then has painted a picture of a man (only the US supposed top legal mind) as basically being forced to lie because of Democrats.
Greenwald is very skillful at this. Remember he is funded by a Libertarian. Just as Cenc is now funded by a Republican and poured praise upon Trump's speech.
Also his fierce support of Snowden does not take into account that Snowden betrayed his own country even if he was releasing material that shows the USA government carried out mass surveillance but what other really damaging secrets did Snowden steal? Greenwald never questions the detail. Such as Snowden's lies about his flight from Hong Kong.
Did Russia put a long term plan in place that is now being played out. Or am I paranoid?
