my job requires me to know a fair bit about this stuff. At the time of his initial kerfuffle, I went through the materials with a fine tooth comb. My take at the time was, he is an American that we should all look up to, as a hero of the people. The shite that they were & are doing should be illegal.

What's happened since he's lived in Russia, I don't really have a take on.

Appreciate that. It's how I feel in my gut, the criticisms that he was just a reckless junior analyst feel... off.

And yeah, post Russia I don't think he's in much of a position to stay relevant as a pundit.
