"After doing it a few years, I noticed that I invariably believed that all of my clients were the pure victims, and the people against whom we were litigating were pure villains. Rationally, I knew that was highly unlikely; the probability that the people who happened to walk through my doors to hire me to represent them were all angels, and those who they claim had wronged them were all devils was extremely remote, almost non-existent. But emotionally and instinctively, that’s how I approached each case; that I was not just advocating for them in order to be financially compensated — as a job — but I was on a righteous crusade, on the side of Good against Evil."
This is exactly how NOT to be an effective litigator. Your job is to be objective about your client's case, much as as a doctor is ice-cold objective about his patient's clinical picture. Glenn is fortunate that he got out of lawyering.
"Also, Manning didn’t reveal NSA spying; she revealed war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan and systematic state corruption around the world, ..."
Manning is not a transgender; he is a gay twink. Not sure why Glenn is deflecting here but it's probably jealousy.
That started out fun, but as usual with Glenn it soon spun off into to perfectly rational explanations for people’s behavior that sound right but nevertheless miss the mark. people rarely if ever understand the deeper reasons for their own behavior, much less others‘, which have societal, national, and global as well as personal flows.
“ His economics guru is one of those University of Chicago austerity fanatics, Paulo Geddes, who wants to privatize all state assets and sell them off to foreign capital, turning Brazil into Chile.”
Come on Glenn— you should have known that wouldn’t play here.

The Kinshasa Interviews: Glenn Greenwald - the interview that breaks the internet
Two points:

Gonna be waiting on that Glenn-BAP grudge match, Nicc.
Really paranoid about the jignat shot behind this. Wink to people close but not in this sphere.
I would like to place the opening bid for that list.

I got halfway through the first paragraph and realized the author is nothing but a hateful. left-wing fasçist sack of dog feces.
After reading entire interview, I am convinced secret ghey subtext is he wants to be fisted by Bolsonaro often.

Excellent interview. On another topic, do you have alts on other media (Gab, Telegram, etc) to follow once you get banned from twitter?
Have you ever had your pockets picked at the Kinshasa airport?
