12. Your defense of Greenwald is based on weak points

You suggested that every possible DOJ would have prosecuted Winner. But you failed to state whether all DOJ's would have engaged in a "war on leaks".

Greenwald obviously had a negative opinion on Obama's hypothetical reaction to this leak. You can pretend that Greenwald's view of Obama was neutral, but nobody in this thread had so far echoed your benign view of Obama - hater Glenn Greenwald.

Secondly, Greenwald has often reacted to Trump's screwups with an "Obama sucks" type of comment.

Thirdly, you pretend that Greenwald gets a pass because this was a retweet rather than an original tweet.

Nobody here would say that Greenwald retweeted that tweet because he disagreed with it.
