Glenn Greenwald faces criminal charges in Brazil. |
Greenwald was strictly anti-Clinton. He was calling a warmonger and pushed conspiracies about her.
Now he's facing criminal charges in Brazil. He and his husband David Michael Miranda are under federal scrutiny for cybercrimes against the government.
The government accuses The Intercept founder of aiding in a hacking of phones and messaging apps of top government officials.
The charges come following a series of stories published in The Intercept based on a trove of date that "provides an unprecedented insight into the operations of the anti-corruption task force that transformed Brazilian politics and gained worldwide attention."
The stories included excerpts of phone messages from Justice Minister Sergio Moro, who led the task force before joining the government of the far-right president.
Guess who's laughing now? |
The agitator was charged. He has phone and computer hacking crimes, while others face crimes of money laundering.
Last year, a Supreme Court judge issued an injunction preventing Federal Police from investigating Greenwald following the publication of stories.
Greenwald is best known as the cover guy for Russian transplant Edward Snowden. Snowden, former NSA contractor contacted Greenwald informing him about "sensitive documents" he wished to share.
Greenwald openly published the documents that revealed the U.S. government's global surveillance disclosure.
