Michael Shellenberger reminds us of the Peter Gleick wire and computer fraud and document forgery that was ignored by Democrat prosecutors since Gleick had Democrat privilege,

2/ Gleick was not only a criminal, but a dumb criminal. @stevenmosher spotted him as author of the forgery because the name of the vain and idiotic Gleick was placed prominently in the forged document. Mosher and I are friends; we were in regular communication as Gleick was outed

3/ I wrote long article one day before Gleick's (partial) confession, mentioning Gleick over and over climateaudit.org/2012/02/20/hea… also, nominating Gleick for inclusion among America's Dumbest Criminals.

4/ See climateaudit.org/tag/gleick/ for list of all articles.

5/ re-reading, it's funny to see that line in forged memo which triggered Mosher's identification of Gleick's involvement in fraud was praised by Andy Revkin of NYT (who is a very decent person, much more decent than Gleick) as supposed recognition of Gleick's impact on debate

6/ oddly, I'd been thinking about the Gleick incident recently as I was trying to write up a thorough narrative on the identification od Danchenko and his "network". At one time,I'd tried to interest Mosher who's v sharp on styles, in PSS project, but he was otherwise busy

7/ one common thread in both Gleick and Danchenko cases is the corruptness of Democrat dominated US attorneys in shutting their eyes to crimes committed by people with Democrat privilege.

8/ Gleick committed multiple felonies, but was never charged. A stark contrast to the vendettas in the US "justice" system against the political opposition (Trump supporters).

9/ consider the serious sentences issued even to young hackers. Now consider what Gleick did. He set up an email account fraudulently using the name of a Heartland Board member, then asked that board materials be copied to this email account in addition to the legitimate one.

10/ Heartland duly sent confidential board materials to the fraudulent email address - hacking by social engineering. However, nothing in the board documents was particularly interesting, so Gleick (tho he never conceded this) forged a lurid document that he passed as Heartland.

11/ Gleick then disseminated the forgery, together with uninteresting actual documents, to Guardian, NYT and others. Big article in Guardian here theguardian.com/environment/20… featuring forged document

2/ The Guardian, needless to say, was major - and perhaps most committed - purveyor of Christopher Steele's fraudulent claims. Luke Harding being a particular dedicated stenographer of Steele's lies.
