@ggreenwald Glenn will you at least concede Putin may have a motive? He is also helping right-wing populists in Europe. It's a pattern

@firasd That's the absurd thinking at heart of every evidence-free conspiracy: Bush/Cheney had *motives* to do 9/11, so therefore....

@ggreenwald @HeerJeet we may as well observe that most people are stupid. What would a party for "smarts only" do for a democratic nation?

@danharmon @ggreenwald accurate but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hold things to a higher standard to moderate the reasonable fringe.

@RussellTMuscle @ggreenwald it moderates the reasonable to preemptively indict idiots? Most dems this, most dems that? I'm unmoved.

@danharmon @ggreenwald I guess Im referring to Pundits & Dem Officials more than the base. The narrative is lazy & lacks more nuanced voices

@danharmon Idk. As a whole I trust we're on the right track to deal with Russia/GOP, but I also trust even-minded thoughts from @ggreenwald

@ggreenwald @JonahNRO The transformation of Glenn Greenwald into one of Trump's top apologists is a tragedy.

@nickosborne101 @ggreenwald @JonahNRO Apparently you don't know Glenn's stance on privacy matters that go back years.

@ggreenwald this is beyond stupid.

@ggreenwald thanks for the block. I'll be spared the rabid dishonesty and vapidity you have descended to.

@ggreenwald there's a lot of stuff which isn't exactly evidence but should raise eyebrows @ russia tho: rex tillerson, lieing under oath...

@ggreenwald ... about meeting russian ambassadors; trump's consistency on russia (but has been on all sides of every other issue)...

@ggreenwald ... manafort's ukranian dealings, mercer's tie to russia... It is definitely not the only important story to focus on rn, and...

@ggreenwald ... it shouldn't be the dems #1 issue, but there is defo /something/ there. But Trump is such a target-rich environment that...

@ggreenwald ... he's breaking emolliements clause anyway. So I don't think Russia issues should be dismissed out of hand but I think it...

@ggreenwald ... isn't an issue the Dems should be hammering away on anywhere nea as much as they are.

.@ggreenwald Dems want war w/ Russia. Trump's contact with Russia is for peace. Deep-state coup v. Trump. Deep-state whistleblowers v Obama!
