Short overview of New York Magazine's take on Greenwald on Trumpgate and Russiagate.  The whole article at New York is worth a read. Example. Greenwald is no longer invited on MSNBC, and he’s portrayed in the Twitter fever swamp as a leading villain of the self-styled Resistance. “I used to be really good friends with Rachel Maddow,” he says. “And I’ve seen her devolution from this really interesting, really smart, independent thinker into this utterly scripted, intellectually...

The Russia Investigation shifts to Clinton's Political Rivals Jumping the shark? How long are American liberals going to put up with this nonsense? How long before they wash the mud from their eyes and acknowledge what should be as plain as the nose on their face; that their precious investigation of Donald Trump is nothing more than a witch hunt designed to intimidate or destroy political rivals? The persecution of Jill Stein strips away the facade once and for all exposing Russia-gate...

Good summary of the narrative manufactured to distract from Democratic failures and to discredit the 2017 US general election. This is the sort of behavior previously seen almost exclusively in banana republics. What are the consequences of the spectacle the media call (with characteristic originality) ‘Russiagate’? The most immediate consequence is that, by finding foreign demons who can be blamed for Trump’s ascendancy, the Democratic leadership have shifted the blame for their defeat...
