@Justin_Higgins2 Are @AymanM, @RandPaul, @TuckerCarlson and @amnesty also all Russian assets? https://t.co/kuefSsQ8Rg — PolitiTweet.org

@AllenSmithee6 Exactly. 2016 happened. The reason they want to see Assange in prison isn't because of what he's charged with -- the 2010 release of the Manning archive -- but for liberals, his real crime is they believe he helped defeat Hillary, and to them, that merits life in prison. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Look at how broken these people's brains are. Every major civil liberties group, press freedom organization, and human rights NGO in the US/UK -- to say nothing of all sorts of world leaders -- are condemning Assnage's persecution, and this is what the US liberal brain produces: — PolitiTweet.org

@Justin_Higgins2 Look at all these other Russian agents. https://t.co/BcVCCoHUD7 — PolitiTweet.org

@ChefyLefty This same group of right-wing populists - Tucker, Matt Gaetz, Rand Paul, etc. - were on this same crusade during the Trump years, condemning his prosecution and urging a pardon. I'm sorry your Bernie/Squad stars can't muster real opposition or dissent. https://t.co/x4ZPQNsfri — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@fakebot696969 Tucker -- along with people like Rand Paul and Matt Gaetz -- went on a virtual crusade to urge a pardon for Assange, devoting his show week after week during the Trump years to advocating for his pardon and exoneration. https://t.co/dnf8xBM4yV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChefyLefty AOC, Bernie and the Squad were also afraid to say any of this when it was the Trump DOJ and CIA pursuing Assange. During the Trump years, the only real opposition in national politics to this prosecution also came from the populist right (Rand Paul, Matt Gaetz, Tucker). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And again, every major press freedom, human rights and civil liberties group in the US/UK are echoing exactly what MTG said about this Assange persecution. The utter silence of major left-liberal figures in the US is nothing short of disgraceful (as unsurprising as it is). https://t.co/1IZuoUTlSs — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, @AymanM -- one of the only non-Fox national journalists who has consistently warned of the dangers of the Assange prosecution -- hosted Assange's brother to explain the grave dangers to press freedom this prosecution presents: https://t.co/ekoVdNeZas — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When Assange's indictment was unveiled in 2019, I wrote a WPost op-ed warning: its core theory could criminalize all investigative reporting. A year later, that same theory was used by Brazilian prosecutors to indict me for our reporting that freed Lula: https://t.co/ztrWmG2XpZ — PolitiTweet.org

@onionsack Or, alternatively, I've been pointing out this dynamic in different ways -- in every way I can think of -- for many years now. — PolitiTweet.org

@HuttonBig How can your brain possibly be this incapable of basic logical reasoning? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheRightPodcast People who support CIA, revere the FBI, and vote for Biden's war package to send $54 billion to Ukrainian neo-Nazi battalions are extremist reactionaries but you have no problem embracing and celebrating them. You're just drowning in partisan propaganda and cant see this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Leave aside whatever views you have of MTG. Just put them in a corner for a second. OK, have we done that? Now: think about the indisputable fact that not AOC, Bernie or a single Squad member could or would say most of what is in this thread, let alone in this tone, and ask why: — PolitiTweet.org

(Keeping Trump in line and having leverage to prevent him from doing what the establishment feared on his way out -- including issuing these pardons for those who exposed bipartisan DC's crimes, and declassifying CIA archives -- was the primary motive of the 2nd impeachment). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Trump's failure to pardon Assange and Snowden was one of the worst and most cowardly mistakes he made. Few realize how close he was to doing it. He got scared by threats from GOP Senators that they'd vote for impeachment if he did it. https://t.co/gbztlnRuMV — PolitiTweet.org

Julian Assange is easily one of the most accomplished, pioneering and consequential journalists of his time. That's precisely the reason he's in prison, and why most of the US corporate media class - knowing how he shames them - is silent if not cheering. https://t.co/YFE8OEbw9j — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Meanwhile, during the Trump years, after Pompeo as CIA Director succeeded in getting the DOJ to indict Assange, only one network on prime-time television devoted itself to a crusade to argue for Assange's pardon and exoneration: one host in particular: https://t.co/dnf8xBM4yV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And here we yet again see the fundamental difference between the international left and what pitifully passes for "the US left." Left-wing leaders around the world have heralded Assange as a hero and condemned Biden. Left-liberal leaders are virtually all silent-to-approving. https://t.co/AGwaGg8qx5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Every major civil liberties and press freedom group in the US united to urge the Biden Admin to drop the prosecution of Assange on press freedom grounds. Today, they're all doing the same. Dems ignore this because their claimed concern over press freedoms were a total fraud: https://t.co/wQu5GiFgHB — PolitiTweet.org
