The Intercept: every single whistle blower who came to The Intercept in the following years was arrested and prosecuted. The most charitable take is they were terrible at protecting their sources. In reality they were likely a government honeypot.

Glenn Greenwald still defends them, to the point of going after Whitney Webb, which is insane.

It is absolutely true when you look at the facts. Whistleblowers were HEAVILY prosecuted under Obama. He went after Manning and then Manning was crying to Obama for the pardon; to the man who's justice department literally led the charge for prosecution.

Trump is no different and is equally as corrurpt as those before them. It's a narrative game. Like Orwell predicted, people hate Big Orange even though he's equally corrurpt (not more, not less) than all the others in the Epstein class before him. People have been conditioned to scream at a screen, not for 2 minutes, but 24/7 with hate.
