The last part of your article is the most interesting -
"He was seduced. His association with Epstein is a terrible and, to many, unforgivable stain. It irreparably tarnishes his legacy. If there is a lesson here, it is this.

The Final Nightly Show
System Update #573 | Friday, February 6, 2025
An end to a really great nightly show - in 20/20 hindsight and not 20/20 bullshit. I look forward to continue to follow Glenn Greenwald on his re-emergence on to Substack, where he was great there as well.
And I also must give a shoutout to Chris Pavlovski the CEO of Rumble who laid out a really necessary and great platform. I am additionally a very happy Premium member of Rumble.
Thanks so much Glenn for the past 5 years on Substack and Rumble!
