Interview: Glenn Greenwald. "I think that it really revealed this new “lawfare” where instead of doing overt coups, you give the cover of concocting corruption scandals against democratically elected leaders you dislike, like what the CIA did in manufacturing the Russiagate scandal against Trump."

    Taibbi is a shill and attacked David Ray Griffin, and was absolutely destroyed by him when they debated 9/11 and Greenwald is a controlled opposition.

    Or to put it another way:

    "I think that it really revealed this new 'lawfare' where instead of doing overt coups, you give the cover of concocting corruption scandals against democratically elected leaders you dislike, like [ CLAIMING - WITH NO EVIDENCE - ] what the CIA did in manufacturing the Russiagate scandal against Trump."

    Remember when the CIA claimed Russian hacking due to finding "Russian" malware on infected systems? From Vault 7: CIA can customize the "fingerprints" hacks leave behind and make it look like someone else did it.

    So, essentially, any legitimate hacker nowadays could hack the DNC then put Russia's "fingerprint" on the hack. That fingerprint is evidence of absolutely nothing, thanks to these new leaks.

    The CIA's Remote Devices Branch's UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques 'stolen' from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.

    Reading about the capabilities of the CIA in Vault7 should put the Trump-Russia connection to bed. If Trump had any contact with Russia, the CIA would've known, and it would've been made public during the election. It is, like CNN admitted, a "nothingburger".

    "Even if Russia was trying to swing the election, we try to swing their elections, our CIA is doing s**t all the time, we're out there trying to manipulate governments," Bonifield said. "You win because you know the game, and you play it right. [Hillary Clinton] didn't play it right."

    It's interesting, but not the "smoking gun" (re. CIA involvement)
