1. Greenwald, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Donald Rump, they all work directly for and under

Vladimir Putin and the GRU or their real name, KGB.

I dont know where they cash their payroll checks, but they get em.

2. Are We Still Not Over Glenn Greenwald?

Still?

3. Well his tweet doesn't say that, so this attack on his words is a strawman.

I'm cautious when it comes to Greenwald's angle, but his complaint here is that we turn people into heroes when their histories are so challenging, just because they end up in the cross-hairs of Trump.

On that point I"m in agreement. I'm no fan of us supporting Omorosa financially, or James Comey, and I know less about Brennan at this point, but Greenwald's reporting, whatever else it has been, has been consitent on his views on torutre(at least american sanctioned or performed torture), rendition, etc. If Brennan was for those things, I'm no fan either.

4. Oh good, when the Democrats get back into power

and WH, than it's ok to purge political opposition. Good to know.

[Fred Sanders]

5. I think he is pointing out the hypocrisy of a formertorture and rendition supporter now being a hero

of opponents of torture and rendition...and giving money to same...fair point.

But there are many more positive points that he could have pointed out in the Here and Now, why he failed to add that is not explained because Twitter only has so many characters.
