Somewhat. He's a contrarian at heart and in the early days of Russiagate just staked out a claim in contrast to the zeitgeist of the moment (Trump is a Putin stooge became Tracey's Trump is not a Putin stooge). He had a substantial twitter so he had a decent platform to push this stance.

After Russiagate was proven to be bullshit, he made the rounds on the news because yes, his stance was correct. However, when asked to defend why he came to his conclusions and the implications of the Mueller report and the next step, he's essentially incapable of defending himself or his position without pointing to a grand oeuvre like the Doomsday Clock and saying, "Russiagate is gonna cause World War 3," or that people along the way that served as his naysayers are nutbars. A genuine useful-idiot for Trumpistas.

Glenn Greenwald is Aristotle to Michael Tracey.

yeah Tracey was seriously getting upset that people would think that the Honorable Public Servant Bill Barr was being dishonest

hard to see him has someone motivated by healthy skepticism of media narratives at that point

Who gives a poo poo about the Barr report. Anybody who compares someone to Glenn Greenwald as a "Russia skeptic" has a massive chip on their shoulder. Michael Tracey is mad that nobody thanked him for being a journalistic hero even before he was right about the Mueller Report being a flop. If he had any sense of maturity or dignity, he'd realize that being right or telling the truth is career death for a journalist. He should be reveling in being an "alternative voice" within a counterculture, instead of sulking because he's not being brought into the mainstream for being a smartypants.

worse than useless, because his past actions now provides a cover for otherwise well-meaning civil libertarian leftists to believe really stupid things that benefit Trump.

Greenwald was instrumental in the Snowden leaks, changed domestic politics and geopolitics forever, and is currently working to topple Bolsonaro.

He's a giant. But go off on whatever Lib thing you got going.

Greenwald is literally one of the tops enemies of the fascist president of Brazil right now for revealing how reactionary oligarchs helped him steal the election

I'm not the biggest Greenwald guy, but he has done some good poo poo these past few years and had a good chance of getting arrested because of it
