@emptywheel Taibbi transformation makes no sense. Was he threatened with arrest or prosecution all those years ago when he worked in Russia? Did he cut a deal to escape Russian charges? Is his new persona a reflection of the deal he made to avoid Russian justice?
@shredhq @emptywheel Nah, he was always like this. He just had better PR once
