Schindler is entitled to better presumption of innocence than he EVER gave Ed Snowden. That is, other than belligerent jackasses, who we are
@benjaminwittes That's different than assuming allegations made about someone on Twitter are true. Whether Snowden or Schindler. @bmaz

@emptywheel@bmaz particularly when it impugns someone's character. -
@benjaminwittes Sure. And should apply to both Schindler and Snowden. That said, Schindler's character is more clear than Snowden's.@bmaz -
@emptywheel@bmaz …and Schindler has a long record of public statements that people are free to judge negatively if they choose. -
@benjaminwittes Don't think it's the statements as much as the bullying. No fact value there. But yes, free to judge.@bmaz -
@emptywheel@bmaz I haven't followed Schindler's writings or behavior enough to have much of an opinion of his bullying. -
@benjaminwittes Ah. You're missing a fairly legendary bully. That's not (necessarily) criminal.@bmaz -
@emptywheel@benjaminwittes Hey now, WTF?? I am not a bully. Unless the other person is not chipping in for fair share of beer and food.

@emptywheel@benjaminwittes@bmaz Are you talking the 20committee guy? Someone made allegations against him? -
@larsolsson@emptywheel@benjaminwittes Yes. And apparently, though I am not sure of today's evidence, so won't go there.

@emptywheel@bmaz I certainly wouldn't endorse that in either case. I just don't think the relevant issue is the presumption of innocenceThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
