Glenn Greenwald: Democrats Need to ‘Stop Calling Everybody a Putin Stooge’
by Josh Feldman | 8:21 pm, December 21st, 2016

Journalist Glenn Greenwald appeared on MSNBC today to keep making his argument that more skepticism is needed in the discussion about Russian hacking––a skepticism that he doesn’t think Democrats are responding to that well.

He told Ari Melber that all we have so far on Russian hacking is “circumstantial evidence” from intelligence agencies who have not been hesitant to spread disinformation before.

Greenwald said all the talk of Russia before the election was just a political tactic, because “fear is a really potent weapon.”

As he indicated on Fox News earlier this week, Greenwald isn’t completely dismissing the idea that Russia was involved in hacking, he’s just asking for evidence to back that claim up.
