Has Glenn Greenwald published anything in the last two days?

[FarCenter]

Didn't he promise more revelations before Snowden's interview with the South China Mornig Post?

Is he just jet lagged after a long trip from Hong Kong to Brazil via Dubai or Jan Smuts?

Presumably any number of enemies of the US would be willing to fund a hit on him in order to stoke the public furor.

[CakeGrrl]

1. I read that he lawyered up yesterday.

Maybe he's lining up his defense for why he bragged about being in contact with Snowden the month before Snowden hired onto Booz Allen.

[MjolnirTime]

4. uh oh, you mean Glenn knew the mole before he started digging tunnels??

Mr. Greenwald might get to see the inside of a jail cell.

He bit off more than he can chew this time.

[Whisp]

6. Interesting, isn't it?

Maybe that's why some things just don't make much sense. It's always really tough to lie and the more lies you make the harder it is to control them and remember what you lied about when - then things just fall apart.

that's what I figure. but we aren't supposed to be talking about him. shhhh.

[MjolnirTime]

8. the James O'Keefe of "the left"? You bet!

[DesMoinesDem]

11. Why do people with no understanding of what is going on

feel the need to comment? Snowden was working with the NSA since 2009 and and read through thousands and thousands of documents before going to Greenwald. This would have taken many months at the very least. Glenn knows exactly what has been going on. You know exactly nothing about what is going on.

[FarCenter]

14. The documents are dated from 2Q2013 and NSA knows when they were downloaded to USB drive

After Snowden had contacted Poitras and Greenwald.

Publishing something that comes in "over the transom" is something a reporter can do.

Publishing a classified document that you encourage someone with a security clearance to purloin is an entirely different matter.

[DesMoinesDem]

16. You have access to the thousands of documents given to Greenwald yet to be released???

Can I get a look at those? Or are you just talking about the few that have been published so far?

And reporters encourage people to get documents for them all the time. It's part of their job, which is why so many reporters were upset when the DOJ said that Rosen had committed a crime.

[FarCenter]

19. He didn't start work in Hawaii until March.

WASHINGTON -- Former National Security Agency contract employee Edward Snowden used a computer thumb drive to smuggle highly classified documents out of an NSA facility in Hawaii, using a portable digital device supposedly barred inside the cyber spying agency, U.S. officials said.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-snowden-nsa-secrets-thumb-drive-20130613,0,791040.story

They've certainly gone back over the logs and know the date and time when he downloaded the documents to the thumb drive.

Since at least one of the documents has an April date in it, the download must have occured after that and after he had contacted Greenwald.

[DesMoinesDem]

25. Um, yes, I know.

[MjolnirTime]

33. So, Greenwald actively worked with a mole within the NSA to expose National Secrets. Damn.

I thought he was bad before.

Now he's gone criminal.

[OilemFirchen]

17. Really? According to whom?

[DesMoinesDem]

23. Have you seen ANY interviews with Greenwald

He's said it in many interviews that he received thousands of documents in meticulously separated in folders by category by Snowden. Check out the Chris Hayes, Anderson Cooper, or Democracy Now interview. I'm sure you'll find it.

[OilemFirchen]

27. I have.

That, of course, is the problem. It's according to Greenwald. And Greenwald has yet to actually... ya know... reveal any of those "thousands of documents" ("dozens" of which, BTW, are "newsworthy&quot .

Color me unimpressed.

[DesMoinesDem]

28. I forgot people still think this is all fake.

Snowden invented a resume that no one has ever seen and then made a few fake documents and convinced Greenwald to tell people he had thousands of leaked documents that he was going to be writing about. And then he would only write a few stories and the NSA and politicians wouldn't even notice the documents were fake and then Glenn would just say nevermind and stop publishing stories. Did I get it right?

[OilemFirchen]

32. Golly.

There are people who "think this all fake"?

Weird.

I certainly don't. I simply have no reason to believe a goddamned thing either one of them has said, other than that the NSA keeps telephone record metadata. Can you explain to me why I should?

[Cha]

36. Why don't you ask yourself that question?

[CakeGrrl]

21. Here's one link:

http://www.ibtimes.com/edward-snowdens-nsa-leak-raises-questions-few-things-wed-know-1302445#

I'm guessing Greenwald is anticipating some of these questions being raised - by investigators if not the MSM.

[Cha]

37. From tweets from Greenwald it seems that way.. unless he was

lying.

[Luminous Animal]

29. Snowden has been working for the NSA for 4 years & he was thinking about doing this for near as long

There is absolutely nothing to defend.

[quinnox]

2. A google search shows he was on a tv show giving an interview yesterday

so it sounds like he is doing media stuff lately.

Anyway, I'm sure he gets threats from clowns on the internet all the time and elsewhere, and probably laughs them off. So I wouldn't worry on that score.

[Whisp]

7. that was an audio interview, where he was speaking from I didn't catch

because I turned the channel

[xchrom]

3. he'll check in with you -- cause you're really important and shit --

and publish after you give him the

[MjolnirTime]

5. I wonder how many articles he will write from behind bars.

[Whisp]

9. behind bars! don't say that, it will make him more of a hero! n/t

[HangOnKids]

20. Thanks

The tag team is all in too. Maybe he should check in with them as well?

[Cali_Democrat]

10. Well his boy turned out to be a Chinese agent with a fake resume

I'd lay low too if I were Greenwald.

[randome]

13. Predictions.

Snowden will be extradited, tried, convicted and given over to a psychiatric center.

Greenwald will be disgraced because he is unable to furnish evidence supporting any of Snowden's allegations.

Because of the stress caused by all this, Greenwald's partner will leave him and the next time we hear of him will be from behind a Starbucks counter.

Snowden's ballerina ex-fiance will write a tell-all book, "Dancing With The Spies".

Fox News will hire no one even vaguely related to this fiasco.

Your career as a prognosticator will be short.
Thank logic and reason for the ACLU.

35. You my friend are

psychic!

What happened to the ballerina anyway, doesn't she want to enjoy her 15 min?

[Cha]

38. Do you see.. DU

?

[JackRiddler]

22. My such totally constructive and informed comments.

And such a charming bit of wishful thinking... Or are you working preemptively on an excuse in case your beloved US government should murder the man?

[FarCenter]

24. If it happens, you'll never know who did it.

[JackRiddler]

26. But I'll know who's wanking off to it.

[Luminous Animal]

30. +1

[HangOnKids]

31. Oh Jack Hold Me

That post was so GOOD I need a smoke!

[treestar]

34. Like Julian and Glenn Beck

They too have "more" up their sleeves. Eddie claims this, too. It looks like standard operating procedure.

[Android3.14]

40. Ah, gee, Greenwald didn't go away and you still live under unprecedented surveillance

Greenwald is still going at it.
His latest article
But hey, at least you can be happy that you were one of the first in line to welcome the police state by willingly putting on your blinders.
Maybe they will arrest you last.

[ljm2002]

41. Yes
