As opposed to James Clapper? He already committed perjury in front of Congress. And the CIA? Their job is to create propaganda, lie and disinform. And nobody has yet to question the veracity of anything Greenwald and Poitras have written to date.

I don't like Clapper, I do agree with him on some things re: Trump. Your argument begins with the premise CIA having just completed a huge intelligence operation to discredit Trump, so let's not act as though you're approaching this from a point of fairness.

And I question the shite out of a ton of stuff Greenwald has written. There are plenty of articles where I think GG makes a valid point, but he's a radical ideologue, so I'm certainly not going to accept his often unverifiable accounts about what did/didn't happen with regard to Snowden
