In reply to the discussion: Pierre Omidyar - Libertarian GG's Libertarian Billionaire Boss [View all]Vattel
(9,289 posts)66. He has responded to such questions.
He says that he has no documents pertaining to NSA's collaboration with PayPal. His response to Edmonds was completely appropriate. If she doesn't want a harsh response, she shouldn't make irresponsible accusations. Greenwald has said that he doesn't deny the relationship between PayPal and the NSA; he just denies that he has documents that shed light on that relationship. Edmonds, being the psychic she apparently is, just knows that Greenwald is hiding something.
