Has Glenn Greenwald broken a single Snowden story since he sold his Snowden docs to Pierre Omidar?

Seems like "the intercept" is publishing anything but Snowden NSA stories.

Pierre Omidar is the founder of eBay and has a long history of being involved intimately with US government organizations and suspect NGO's.

It's almost like the government did get their documents back, just in a different way.

That Greenwald has not been arrested upon his arrival to the USA is most interesting.

And is free to travel with no problem to spend his loot.

That the government did not jail him being in possession of the NSA crown jewels and lets him wander freely is a huge hint. I'm sure it's against the law to have classified data even if you're a billionaire lackey. (cough cough journalist)

"The intercept" seems to mean intercepting the snowden, docs selling them to a rich man and laughing all the way to palm springs.

So disappointing...

I could have built that website and recycled recycled others stories.

Where is the original reporting?

Are you satisfied with the intercept...

Think GG is going to lay some hurt on the NSA now that he's stateside?

I'm skeptical. GG's only work on the case seems to be when he was with the guardian. Once he got the PAID by the well connected billionaire...nada

or he was naive to select known gatekeepers for disseminating the information. I'm not sure which but I'm with Sibel Edmonds on this about Greenwald & Co.

The NSA and its bosses are the culprits here, not Snowden and the journalists.
