6. I know we're 3-4 years into it now, but I have to ask:

Can folks here admit I was correct about him? Can folks here admit I've won?

Does anybody here STILL want to try defending Greenwald over this? At least 50 DUers used to give me a tidal wave of shit *every* time I called out Glenn's brazen hypocrisy/cowardice/garden variety bullshit; and quite frankly I sort of miss it...

I know nobody has the stones to own up and apologize for the many, many things I was called, but I forgive you anyway...

to the point where they don't even try fuckin' with me anymore...

Besides, I've graduated to the bigger fish -- I'm proud to say that at one time WikiLeaks and every prominent writer associated with the Intercept *ALL* had me on block... Fun times....

9. The US Govt never lies about Russia

Greenwald says the only evidence on the Russian Hacking story is the word of US Govt sources.

Is he incorrect about that? I believe tha Russia hacked but I also think I have been deceived by the US Govt many times.

US Govt sources told us Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and a nuclear bomb program.

Most Americans believed that.

The US Govt said we were attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin, leading us into the Vietnam Nam War. Most Americans believed that.

Poppy Bush flat out lied to the public about who fired first in the India Pakistan conflict at their border, when he ran the CIA.

So if Greenwald is correct, that the sole source of proof of Russian Hacking are statements from US Govt sources, then there are reasons to be cautious.

So what evidence other than information from the US Govt is there about Russian Hacking?

Hasn’t the US media swallowed every single lie on foreign affairs hook line and sinker for our entire lifetime? Again, I believe Russia hacked. But what evidence not provided by the US govt is there?
