    Reception

    Greenwald has been placed on numerous "top 50" and "top 25" lists of columnists in the United States.[110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118] In June 2012, Newsweek magazine named him one of America's Top Ten Opinionists, saying that "a righteous, controlled, and razor-sharp fury runs through a great deal" of his writing, and: "His independent persuasion can make him a danger or an asset to both sides of the aisle."[119]
    Greenwald in Auckland, New Zealand, September 2014

    According to Nate Anderson, writing in Ars Technica around 2010 or 2011, Aaron Barr of HBGary and Team Themis planned to damage Greenwald's career as a way to respond to a potential dump of Bank of America documents by WikiLeaks, saying that "Without the support of people like Glenn WikiLeaks would fold."[120]

    Josh Voorhees, writing in slate.com, reported that in 2013 congressman Peter King (R-NY) suggested Greenwald should be arrested for his reporting on the NSA PRISM program and NSA leaker Edward Snowden.[121] Journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin said "I would arrest [Snowden] and now I'd almost arrest Glenn Greenwald",[122] but later made an apology for his statement, which Greenwald accepted.

    Journalist David Gregory accused Greenwald of aiding and abetting Snowden, before asking, "Why shouldn't you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?"[123]

    In a 2013 interview with Martha Raddatz of ABC News, Greenwald said that members of Congress are being "blocked" from getting "the most basic information about what NSA is doing ... and what the FISA court has been doing ...", and specifically referenced Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD), who at the time was the ranking member of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ("House Intelligence Committee").[124] Ruppersberger, who was a guest on the show, responded, "We have rules as far as the committee and what you can have and what you cannot have. However, based on that, that statement I just made, is that since this incident occurred with Snowden, we've had three different hearings for members of our Democratic Caucus, and the Republican Caucus ... And we will continue to do that because what we're trying to do now is to get the American public to know more about what's going on." Rep. King, who was also a guest on This Week as a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, stated: "[T]o me it's unprecedented to have all of these top people from an administration during this time of crisis still come in and answer question after question after question. So anyone who says that Congress is somehow being stonewalled is just wrong and [the question] is generally, I think, raised by people who are trying to make a name for themselves."[125]
    Standing ovation for Greenwald, Germany, December 2014

    In a February 2014 interview, Greenwald said he believed he risked detention if he reentered the U.S., but insisted that he would "force the issue" on principle, and return for the "many reasons" he had to visit, including if he won a prestigious award of which he was rumoured to be the winner.[126] Later that month, it was announced that he was, in fact, among the recipients of the 2013 Polk Awards, to be conferred April 11, 2014 in Manhattan.[127] In a subsequent interview, Greenwald stated he would attend the ceremony, and added: "I absolutely refuse to be exiled from my own country for the crime of doing journalism and I'm going to force the issue just on principle. And I think going back for a ceremony like the Polk Awards or other forms of journalistic awards would be a really good symbolic test of having to put the government in the position of having to arrest journalists who are coming back to the US to receive awards for the journalism they have done."[128] On April 11, Greenwald and Laura Poitras accepted the Polk Award in Manhattan. Although their entry into the United States was trouble-free, they traveled with an ACLU attorney and a German journalist "to document any unpleasant surprises". Accepting the award, Greenwald said he was "happy to see a table full of Guardian editors and journalists, whose role in this story is much more integral than the publicity generally recognizes".[129] On April 14, the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service was awarded jointly to The Guardian and The Washington Post for revelation of widespread secret surveillance by the NSA. Greenwald, along with Laura Poitras and Ewen MacAskill, had contributed to The Guardian′s reporting.[130]

    Personal life

    Greenwald lives in Rio de Janeiro, the hometown of his husband, David Miranda.[131][132][133] Greenwald said in 2011 that his residence in Brazil was a result of the Defense of Marriage Act, an American law barring federal recognition of same-sex marriages that was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court two years later. The law had prevented his partner from receiving a visa to reside with him in the United States.[134]

    The first day Greenwald entered Rio de Janeiro in February 2005, he met Miranda at the beach. As Miranda was playing volleyball, his ball knocked over Greenwald's drink. When asked by a user on Twitter, Greenwald said this was how he met Miranda for the first time.[135]

    In 2017, Greenwald and Miranda announced that they had adopted two children, siblings, from Maceió, a city in Northeastern Brazil.[136] Greenwald and Miranda have 24 rescue dogs.[137][138] In March 2017, Greenwald announced plans to build a shelter with Miranda for stray pets in Brazil that would be staffed by homeless people.[139] In March 2018, Greenwald tweeted videos showing the shelter as operational with dozens of pets and "previously homeless employees."[140]

    In 2016, Miranda was elected to the Rio de Janeiro City Council as part of the PSOL party.[141] In 2018, he narrowly lost election to congress, but in 2019 assumed the place of Jean Wyllys after Wyllys's self-exile.

    Greenwald and Miranda were close personal friends of Brazilian human rights advocate and councilwoman Marielle Franco, known for criticism of police tactics, who was fatally shot while in her car by unknown assailants.[142][143]

    Greenwald comes from a Jewish background, albeit largely non-practicing, and was never Bar Mitzvahed, stating that "My parents tried to inculcate me a little bit into organized Judaism, but they weren't particularly devoted to that, and my grandparents were, but it just never took hold." He says that he does believe in "the spiritual and mystical part of the world", including practicing yoga, but his moral precepts "aren't informed in any way by religious doctrine or, like, organized religion or anything."[144] Greenwald has also been critical of the New Atheist movement, accusing Sam Harris and others within the movement, of anti-Muslim animus.[145]
    Awards
    Geschwister-Scholl-Award for Greenwald, University of Munich, December 2014

    Greenwald received, together with Amy Goodman, the first Izzy Award for special achievement in independent media, in 2009,[146] and the 2010 Online Journalism Award for Best Commentary for his investigative work on the conditions of Chelsea Manning.[147]

    His reporting on the National Security Agency (NSA) won numerous other awards around the world, including top investigative journalism prizes from the George Polk Award for National Security Reporting,[148] the 2013 Online Journalism Awards,[149] the Esso Award for Excellence in Reporting in Brazil for his articles in O Globo on NSA mass surveillance of Brazilians (becoming the first foreigner to win the award),[150] the 2013 Libertad de Expresion Internacional award from Argentinian magazine Perfil,[151] and the 2013 Pioneer Award from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.[152] The team that Greenwald led at The Guardian was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for their reporting on the NSA.[153] Foreign Policy Magazine then named him one of the top 100 Global Thinkers of 2013.[154]

    In 2014 Greenwald received the Geschwister-Scholl-Preis, an annual German literary award, for the German edition of No Place to Hide.[155] Greenwald was also named the 2014 recipient of the McGill Medal for Journalistic Courage from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication.[156]

    But he QUOTED the article!!! Ok pawz. I'll demonstrate how FS your comment is:

    Right in the conclusion, Mueller states "the president clearly did not commit obstruction of Justice." See!!! Democrats wasted our time!!!

    However, this is the full quote.

    Amazing what context does, right? I'd read the report yourself and come to your conclusions. I'm not saying this will even effect Trump, mostly because Democrats are Pussies and won't follow up on what Mueller leaves out.

    That being said, your article is full of shit. And you enjoy your head buried in the sand.

    I know the Dems lost their mind the moment Trump won, but last time I checked when you get investigated and they say they didn't find enough to do anything, you won.
