And remember folks, this is a former attorney speaking here...




And for the record, YES -- Greenwald DID freely throw around terms like "criminal, lawless, corrupt" when talking about Hillary and he's said the same about Obama with the NSA and drones... It would be slightly less funny if Greenwald wasn't floating impeachment balloons during the peak of his manufactured NSA 'scandal'...

I'm done with DN as long as it insists on being Greenwald's daily broadcasting service...

but that doesn't stop him from thinking the Earth is 6000 years old and our laws came from Moses and Yahweh.

In other words, you can be educated and still dumb as a stump.

is driven by the hits a site gets. I don't go to many sites because that increases their volume and their viability. Just sayning.

Is she giving him a platform to espouse this drivel as fact or amazed that he can be so stupid?

"I think his motive was 'I think this investigation is garbage and therefore I'm very open about the fact I want to stop it.'"? That's obstruction of justice, straight up. The fact that it's out in the open doesn't change anything, nor does motive. If you are trying to stop a legitimate legal proceeding you're obstructing justice, no matter why or how you're doing it. Maybe there's a good reason why that dumbass Greenwald is a former attorney.

as long as he gets his way without being held to account for his actions. He had advisors who he didn't listen to and a legal team that he ignored because he fancies himself as being the smartest man alive and, therefore, can do anything he wants with no regard for the consequences for himself or others.

Everyone who obstructs justice opposes the prosecution.

Fuck Greenwald.
