'The damage is done': Glenn Greenwald turns his attention to the Lincoln Project — and gives them a taste of their own medicine

If you’re looking for sympathy for what the Lincoln Project is currently going through, you won’t find it here.

And you won’t find it from Glenn Greenwald, either:

Everything scummy, dirty, unethical, dishonest and scamming about @ProjectLincoln was completely known and obvious over the last 18 months.

Journalists and others in liberal politics are willing to admit it now only because, with Trump vanquished, there is no more use for them.

But the damage is done. They scammed enormous numbers of liberals out of their major money in the middle of a pandemic — because NBC, CNN, and others (60 Minutes) promoted them as a group of noble, honest people of conscience when it was clear they were grifters and liars.

I'll have a full report up on everything in just a bit. Since they like to publish questions posed to them by journalists who are reporting on them as a form of petty intimidation, I'll be happy to do it for them: pic.twitter.com/uIiPP1GzJL

See what he did there?

So often, the people and methods used to oppose Trump were at least as deceitful, unethical and destructive as he was claimed to be. @ProjectLincoln is just one illustrative example. Look how many charlatans were promoted, immoral factions venerated. lies told for this Cause.

Let’s hear it for all the Principled Conservatives™ out there!

And of course for all the Guardians of Truth who’ve been singing their praises.

The Lincoln Project is becoming this year's Michael Avenatti. Both were built up by the media, both gained #Resistance stardom, both collapsed after going a year without facing scrutiny.

And there will be no self-reflection from the press. And this will likely happen again.

Count on it.

Meanwhile, we look forward to Greenwald’s full report.
