has been devoting his time to trying to Discredit Mueller's investigation. Like he has skin in the game and it's Russian.

Glenn Greenwald’s Deceptive Response to My Critique of His Tweets on the Alleged 12 Russian Agents Indictments

Glenn Greenwald’s essay sets up a strawman and misinforms his readers. At great length, he refutes a claim that I did not make, and he does not take ownership for what he actually tweeted.

from The Intercept, Greenwald's publication.

I think it may be the most successful effort of Russian propaganda in the US MSM.

There are people who pretend to be legitimate by reporting some factual things and by feeding you things you want to hear. This builds trust. Russians are a good example of this long game. It was recently reported by NPR that they created legitimate sounding twitter news accounts. They tweeted actual local news and gained followers. So when needed they can influence Americans at a later time.


It also happened to the founder of twitter. Some user got retweeted by him and thus made them seem trustworthy. They turned out to be a russian troll. One of the retweets was inspirational about no one's born a racist.

There are a shit ton of Retrumplicans that need to be prosecuted and jailed for the rest of their miserable fucking lives.

It would be a good start to restoring our democracy
