Q - Did you lie about your salary? What is the issue there? Why did you tell Glenn Greenwald that your salary was $200,000 a year, when it was only $122,000 (according to the firm that fired you.)
“I was debriefed by Glenn and his peers over a number of days, and not all of those conversations were recorded. The statement I made about earnings was that $200,000 was my “career high” salary. I had to take pay cuts in the course of pursuing specific work. Booz was not the most I’ve been paid.”
Many have made that the foundation of their opinion — “he lied about his salary, which means we can’t trust him on anything!” That’s going to undercut that foundation pretty completely; the rebuttal that Greenwald couldn’t have made a mistake is far less likely.
