This would’ve been a very interesting story if he could have connected a quid pro quo to an action Biden made that benefited Barisma as it related to his sons involvement there, but the entire story requires the reader to be connecting a lot of dots themselves rather than within the classic intercept (or even Greenwald style) that has incredibly meaningful citations that force the reader to be like well shit.

I agree, I also feel conflicted because it's a complicated story that... well, as Greenwald admitted, needs some editing. That said, I feel like the editors' response was also blown out of proportion and was incredibly hostile. I wonder if they were feuding before and this was the last straw...
