Greenwald thinks Flynn was ousted for lying.

[joshcryer]

HAHAHAHA



No, Putin apologist, Flynn was ousted for being caught following Trump and Pence's orders. And the house of cards will fall, even with Trump boosters taking Flynn's bullshit resignation as truth. The whole administration is a lie.

[truebluegreen]

1. Greenwald, unlike some, likes to have proof.

Got any?

Oh I know, "proof" = Putin apologist and Trump supporter. Totally the same.

[joshcryer]

4. Yeah, he already admitted that we can't be sure that no one else knew.

A direct contradiction to his original statement. If we can't know that nobody knew how can we know that he was ousted for lying to Pence? Read his tweets.

He contradicts himself from one tweet to the next. It's hilarious.

[truebluegreen]

5. You say "he thinks"

and that he admitted "we can't be sure"--where is the contradiction? A non-categorical statement and an opinion.

6. Jesus.....did you see this Greenwald tweet?

Glenn Greenwald Russian shill went private after posting this gem hahaha #Snowden https://t.co/k5YemrtBjy

7. He's doubling down on the idiotic rhetoric:

16. The white house sat on the warning from Yates, thus they were fine with him until ..

Yates' concerns were leaked to the press.

[Adrahil]

17. Exactly. The White House KNEW Flynn lied...

and they didn't care. Or perhaps all the concerned parties already knew what he had said....

[JHan]

19. The more you think on it the more ridiculous..Don McGahn knew...

.. In a normal scenario, that kind of information is a shocker for a new administration. Any white house counsel would immediately notify the President - unless it was common knowledge and confirmation of what they already knew.

[randome]

27. Greenwald, the laziest of 'investigative' journalists, willingly accepts whatever Dolt45 says.

Do you think that's anything an objective observer would do?

[uponit7771]

31. Really?! ... no... Really?! ...There are people still defending Greenwald on DU? Really?! WTF right?

[m-lekktor]

35. exactly!

2. He's right about the lying

""[Sally] Yates, then the deputy attorney general, considered Flynn’s comments in the intercepted call to be “highly significant” and “potentially illegal,” according to an official familiar with her thinking.""

"Yates—the acting attorney general who was fired after refusing to defend Trump’s Muslim ban in court, believing (correctly) that it was illegal—and a national security official eventually informed White House counsel Donald McGahn of the FBI’s findings in late January. The White House, though, seemingly did nothing about it until media pressure became overwhelming and Flynn’s position became untenable. In other words, Flynn wasn’t fired for possibly having broken the law and/or lying, but because the media found out he’d possibly broken the law and/or lied."

Looks like they are floating Petraeus as a replacement.

According to Brad Heath, investigating journalist for USA Today..."If Gen. Petraeus is selected as the new national security adviser, he will have to notify his probation officer within 72 hours."

3. "he will have to notify his probation officer within 72 hours."

I was when I saw Petraeus' name mentioned and was like WTF? Are they really that clueless as to his current situation?

(but then I suppose his own modus operandi fits theirs to a "T&quot

12. hahahahahaaa!

8. Glenn plays the role of Kremlin apologist with a little too much vigor

Nothing subtle about that guy....

[uponit7771]

32. +1, he's at Benedict Donald's level of defending Russia... Too much loyalty to too little return...

... on its face.

10. Anyone that buys the idea Flynn lied

is a sucker.

I am looking at you Glen.

[SidDithers]

11. Greenwald. What a fucking clown...nt

[OilemFirchen]

14. The richest irony:

Flynn was caught because the alphabet agencies record phone calls between U.S. citizens and Russian authorities. Greenwald bankrolled Snowden to "expose" this horrifying "secret" - without which we would know bupkis.

Dear Glenn: You cannot divide by zero. It's the fucking law.

[flamingdem]

15. And Ed Schulz jumped on that bandwagon

They must have paid well

[Adrahil]

20. ED sold his soul to Vladimir Putin. Sad to see. NT

[herding cats]

18. I see Russia deployed agent Greenwald to help do damage control.

They're not happy in the least over the current focus on the Russian connection to this administration, are they? Wonder why that is? 🤔

[MineralMan]

21. You lost me at "Greenwald Thinks"

Who cares what Glenn Greenwald thinks, frankly? How on Earth does he have any credibility at all? Why is anything that is excreted from his brain suitable for publication here or anywhere?

Glenn Greenwald may have fooled some people at some point. That should no longer be true on Democratic Underground. Enough of his excrement!

[msanthrope]

22. You're being all Manichaean again. nt

26. That's me: MineralMan the Manichaean Maniac.

[joshcryer]

23. I remember when one of your posts struck a nerve with that manipulator.

Fun times. He was barely anybody at the time.

Too bad Snowden chose him and not someone with more credibility. But Assange set that one up since Greenwald was a mouthpiece for Wikileaks at the time.

[MineralMan]

28. Yes. I took a lot of heat over that episode.

Fortunately, most of that heat was brought by people who are no longer on DU, for some reason or another.

Greenwald is another of those libertarian pretenders who were sucked up in the "left" of Putin and others who are not the left at all. We're paying for all that now, with another pretender, Trump, ensconced in the White House. More's the pity that we were not paying attention to the false siren calls of people so far left they were actually on the right.

I hope a lesson has been learned.

[Blue_Tires]

24. That time when Greenwald called Susan Hennessey a straight-up liar:

As usual, nobody is holding their breath for an apology or retraction... I do remember the old days when Greenwald was supposed to be about "adversarial journalism", and the fact that his $250 million blog did more deflection, denial and shade throwing than actual reporting on the biggest story so far of 2017 is pretty damning...

Note: I used to mention this stuff to Greenwald directly until he blocked me like the fucking coward he is...
