(62,325 posts)They see how popular and successful Greenwald has become. This has to be a nighmare for those who bought the contract HB Gary was bidding on. And for the contractors who sold it to them, I believe it was BOA. They probably got a huge payment and are under intense pressure to succeed and failure means less business for them.
After all when they started the smear campaign against Greenwald, he wasn't very well known, just a Liberal Blogger with a fairly big following, many Right Wingers who would go to his comment section and try to shut him up regarding Bush.
Since they went after him, look what happened, rather than succeeding in discrediting him, he got a far WIDER audience, he was hired by the Guardian and was able to reach an international audience instead of the relatively small, liberal internet following he had before. THAT got him the Snowden leaks.
Now he has caught the attention of someone with enough money to start their OWN Independent news organization where his audience will be even BIGGER.
Lol, if I had taken out a contract for a smear campaign against him, I would want my money back. And if I was the idiot who got the contract, I would retire from the 'smear campaign business as a failure'. I wonder can you sue these Security Contractors who do these smear campaigns? I wish someone would, that would bring it all out into the open! But they can't, too much risk of the public finally learning all about these dirty tricks.
