Glenn Greenwald: ZERO people arrested for Capitol invasion were members of Parler

How can he know this?

Does he even have the exhaustive list of those arrested to even try to investigate the claim?

Are we still just accepting what random folks spout off?

Give us evidence so it can be used.

Because let’s be fair, while I don’t think Parler is the smoking gun of planning it’s made out to be, I find it hard to believe not even one person who entered the capital had a Parler account they used....even if they didn’t use it to plan.

Random folks?

In June 2013, while at The Guardian, he began publishing a series of reports detailing previously unknown information about American and British global surveillance programs based on classified documents provided by Edward Snowden. Along with other reporters, Greenwald won both a George Polk Award and a Pulitzer Prize for the reporting. He has also written best-selling books, including No Place to Hide. In 2014, he, Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill, launched The Intercept, for which he was co-founding editor until he resigned in October 2020. Greenwald then moved to Substack, an online newsletter-based journalism platform

Do you know who GG is?

Volva, why don’t you tweet him and ask him? I know why, because he will give you an answer you don’t want to hear.

Yes.

To clarify “nobody” was meant in this specific context.

He is making a claim about something he has no first hand knowledge of, and he isn’t supporting the claim.

Without that validation, he is literally no different than a Joe Dirt twitting away.

Or are we just gonna pretend all of the tweets by people with past pedigrees that turned out to be BS never happened.

Lost count the number of times I heard on the EB “Wow, I’d question it typically, but if XXX is talking about it, there MUST be something coming.”

There goes Toddy's argument...

Glenn Greenwald, notorious anti-Trump figure, typically doesn't report on things like this unless he's done his homework. I guess I can't blame you for wanting him to show his work, but I don't distrust the guy enough to think he did this without doing his research.

Nah. It’s mostly because unlike all of the other hypocrites here, I don’t use twitter.

I’m not calling him a liar either.

I’m just not immediately internalizing what someone said on twitter just because I want it to be true.

That’s a pretty big claim, and would be highly damning ammo to use. Gonna need more than a “trust me, bro.”

What Greenwald said: Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?

Zero.

What you said: I find it hard to believe not even one person who entered the capital had a Parler account they used..
