Glenn Greenwald answers questions submitted by our supporters on Locals. We received questions covering a wide range of issues, including the bizarre story told by former Senator Pat Leahy of Vermont about how he was secretly accosted by shadowy members of the Deep State who directed him to proof that the Bush administration was lying about the proposed war in Iraq, and he still failed to do anything about it; the significant ruling yesterday by a Trump-appointed federal judge who concluded that the Trump administration lacks the authority to invoke the war-time Alien Enemies Act to deport people to El Salvador; and Ilhan Omar's naughty words to a journalist from the Daily Caller.
