So a trans woman who has been to hell and back, says she's afraid of a powerful journalist known for bullying, after their relationship went south and now he is doing the political equivalent of revenge porn, releasing their private correspondence? Shameful and dangerous. 
I actually joined Twitter to write about Chelsea Manning when I was reporting on her over a decade ago. I was one of the left journalists pleading with Obama to release her and get her out of the torturous conditions she was in where she was kept naked with the lights on 24/7.
This turn of events is disturbing and painful to witness. The plethora of people calling Manning "unhinged" and financially predatory of the very wealthy Greenwald is truly shocking. How many of these folks want Manning back in prison? (Greenwald is RTing the likes of Redsteeze.)
Regardless of where you stand on Manning politically, you have to see that a man releasing private data between himself and a woman to try and shame her publicly is misogynist abuse. And tbh, undermines Greenwald's claim he doesn't want to harm her, just protect his reputation.
Greenwald asserts anyone who critiques him for his alliance with Fox News and Tucker Carlson is a tool of the "corporate Democrat machine." As a left lesbian journalist, I am obviously not that. And in the past he has applauded my work. I am saddened to witness all of this.
What's most concerning in all of this is that Greenwald knows that Manning is still under threat from literally millions on both sides of the aisle who want her back in prison. Releasing their intimate correspondence--or his selections thereof--puts her at risk from those people.
