Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    I'm betting Glenn will be proven right on this tweet but I hope he's wrong...https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/970283411750473728 …

    If Mueller's probe now includes how Gulf State money buys influence & policy in DC, it will expose the hidden underbelly of how Washington has worked forever. It will also produce some awkward silence from certain DC think tanks which normally cheer every new Mueller article.

        I'm guessing no one from Brookings, for example, will reflect on how this lesson impacts their funding base.

        I'm not even sure that's a proper usage of "whatabout" in the idiotic sense it is currently used, congratulations.

        In 13 years of reading him, what stands out is his consistency in calling out wrong no matter which side does it. Anything less is partisan hypocrisy.

        I've read Glenn for many years. He was at DKos way back. I've always thought his analysis was wrong. I could never understand why he had a following. Fortunately others have seen him for what he is

        Yes, that's why his readership has grown from Unclaimed Territory (his blog), to Salon, to the Guardian, to the opportunity to starting a new media organization. Always good to be recognized for being informative, even if it means being provocative.

        He does NOT work for Salon anymore. He does NOT work for the Guardian anymore. He's NOT provocative. He used Snowdon and dumped him. Starting a new media organization? Picking up where infowars left off.

        I mean technically wouldn't this make Trump responsible for "draining the swamp" perhaps not quite in the way he expected it though.

        If this is the direction Mueller is going, then I would guess the democrats would probably want him gone as well.
