In reply to the discussion: Trump issues pardons in war-crimes cases, despite Pentagon opposition to the move [View all]BumRushDaShow
(167,059 posts)38. Sorry but
The Libertarian/anti-Democratic party Glenn Greenwald's spin and abject Obama-bashing, doesn't engender any legitimacy to him, nor any credibility. There was no "immunity granted" under Obama and no equivalency to this story. If Greenwald needs to blame anyone about what happened under Shrub then he needs to look to Shrub.
As is typical, Greenwald has his own issues - some of which bubbled up a few weeks ago.

Veja o momento em que @augustosnunes agride @ggreenwald ao vivo na @JovemPanNews. É um absurdo esse descontrole por parte de Nunes, que usou os filhos do Glenn para atacá-lo por causa de matérias da Vaza Jato

This is a warm up for Roger Stone and Rudy, if Barr allows Rudy's case to go on.
