Glenn Greenwald on the coverup of the Hunter Biden laptop story
Greenwald is no Trump fan. But he’s certainly got the number of the press and the intelligence community on this.

Greenwald is no Trump fan. But he’s certainly got the number of the press and the intelligence community on this.
Greenwald is brave in appearing, despite his leftist credentials, on the enemy’s network, for he will surely be castigated by other progressives for this sinful behavior, but he is actually being consistent in his criticism; while almost all the Democrats and their sycophantic enablers in the MSM have fully embraced the worst elements of the “alphabet agencies” and the Pentagon (since the upper levels of these far too powerful bureaucracies are occupied almost entirely by anti-Trumpian denizens of the swamp, i.e. the “Deep State”) a few courageous and independent leftists continue to challenge these unelected wielders of immense power.
Is Greenwald going to vote for Trump?
Pretty sure Greenwald lives in Brazil.
Absentee ballot or vote by mail. Problem solved. If you can vote after you’re dead, living in Brazil is not even an inconvenience.
Greenwald and Matt Taibbi have been consistent in their criticism of media and FBI malfeasance. They have the courage to risk alienating those who have comprised the majority of their audience. If only a few elected GOP officials had such integrity and stones.
More indisputable proof that it’s the Russians:

Greenwald, whatever his other failings, is a real honest-to-goodness lefty. He’s not some overcompensated white collar professional or rich dude who just virtual signals about his supposed moral superiority. Greenwald knows the corporate media will screw people like him just as easily as they’ll screw Trump.

I’d be a critic of both of them in other circumstances. What’s impressed me in these circumstances is that they have actual fixed principles. Most partisan Democrats have improvisations which provide specious justification for whatever it is they want right now (and what they want usually amounts to providing patronage for someone like themselves or to abuse people they don’t like).
Um, folks, seems we really shouldn’t be talking about Joe Biden’s serial hyper-corruption.
We have it on the highest authority that it’s unseemly to talk about Joe Biden’s serial hyper-corruption:
https://nypost.com/2020/10/22/jill-biden-americans-dont-want-to-hear-about-hunter-joe-deals/
See, Joe Biden’s serial hyper-corruption is just not important.
And Joe Biden’s serial hyper-corruption is not something that the American people are really interested in.
Clearly, THEY KNOW that bringing up Joe Biden’s serial hyper-corruption is petty politics and that it’s un-American to even talk about it.
Further THEY KNOW that Joe Biden is an honest, upright and reliable patriot, who has always put his country and its citizens FIRST; so that bringing up Joe Biden’s serial hyper-corruption is horrifically wrong, terribly misguided, immoral and unethical.
Which is soooo typical of Trump and his supporters AND his Russian handlers (which is where you ought to look for REAL corruption).
On authority.
The ability of pundits and politicians to read minds is quite remarkable. Whenever I see a statement such as “The American people think [X]” or “So and so believes/intends/means [Y],” I know that we are all safe in the arms of a truly omniscient and caring person of impeccable character.
All levity aside, this would appear to be an uncannily accurate rundown of the situation, which is, no doubt, still “developing”:

As for Greenwald, I find it astounding—and heroic of him (even though one might claim that he’s “just doing his job”)—that he’s taken this exceptional stance and has stuck with it; and more power to him for having done so.
Unfortunately, on certain topics, he has a, shall-we-say, “erratic” past; and “The Intercept” is still all too often filled with bizarre “reporting” and “analysis”.
Go figure… but kudos.
[Greenwald] has a, shall-we-say, “erratic” past…
Barry Meislin: Yes, there was that sock puppet business back in 2006 that looked pretty bad. Let Ace tell it…

I thought Greenwald’s online reputation was sunk. Maybe he had a moment of clarity and resolved to do better.
IMO, the Biden corruption story gives the Dems another way to replace Biden with Harris (the first being mental incompetence). They need to get him elected but the denial will end will end January 20.
Glen Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, and a few others – are all people who try to live their lives and practice their craft with integrity. It’s a good reminder that although we are deeply partisan in this era, there are still people that share these ideas even when they disagree politically. They have my respect, mostly because I know I have some small modicum of theirs. For a lot of Progressives, that is sadly not true in these times.
