GOP Turncoats Sunk Snowden?
Patrick Bet-David sits down with journalist Glenn Greenwald for a hard-hitting discussion on Venezuela’s boat strikes, alleged CIA plots to overthrow Nicolás Maduro, and the political implications of Trump’s meeting with Brazilian President Lula da Silva.
The meeting with Lula happened in Asia during Trump’s stop in Malaysia for the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit. Lula wanted to meet with Trump to discuss his proposed tariffs on goods from Brazil. Brazil is obviously not an ASEAN nation, but apparently did not want to wait to resolve tariff complications.
Greenwald also discusses his dealings with various whistleblowers, including Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange. He says Trump came close to issuing a pardon for Snowden upon the conclusion of Trump’s first term. But Democrats pushing a second impeachment hearing, plus turncoat Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Tom Cotton, scotched the deal.
