To be fair if he was only talking about the misinformation all over the internet, he has a point...but it's quite possible he's talking about a better informed citizenry and easily accessible facts and records.  And even hacking.  

relevant sections is toward the bottom of the linked speech.

I'm a student of history, and I love to go back and read a particularly great book like Kissinger's book about diplomacy where you think about the 18th, 19th centuries and the balance of power and how difficult it was for countries to advance their interests and years and years of wars. And we sometimes say to ourselves, boy, aren't we lucky. Well, folks, ever since the end of the Cold War, forces have been unleashed that were tamped down for centuries by dictators, and that was complicated further by this little thing called the internet and the ability of people everywhere to communicate instantaneously and to have more information coming at them in one day than most people can process in months or a year.

"AMY GOODMAN: Glenn Greenwald also wrote, "What is particularly creepy about the Lavabit self-shutdown is that the company is gagged by law even from discussing the legal challenges it has mounted and the court proceeding it has engaged. In other words, the American owner of the company believes his Constitutional rights and those of his customers are being violated by the US Government, but he is not allowed to talk about it."

Greenwald goes on to write, quote, "Just as is true for people who receive National Security Letters under the Patriot Act, Lavabit has been told [that] they would face serious criminal sanctions if they publicly discuss what is being done to their company." . . .

LADAR LEVISON: Well, just to add one thing to Greenwald's comments, I mean, there's information that I can't even share with my lawyer, let alone with the American public. So if we're talking about secrecy, you know, it's really been taken to the extreme. And I think it's really being used by the current administration to cover up tactics that they may be ashamed of."

Ditto for HRC, what manning released is IMO worse than Snowden in that it embarrassed a lot of high ranking folks that were under HRC's command.

Further, given that Terry MacAuliffe only bought EuAuto Technology (name since changed to GreenTech) in late 2010, and further that GreenTech's Horn Lake, MS plant -- where the MyCar is being manufactured -- has actually only been in operation since July 2012, the Washington Post's so-called "in-depth" report on the company looks to be awfully long in its offering of innuendo, but woefully short on its presentation of any actual evidence regarding malfeasance or wrongdoing on Mr. McAuliffe's part.

Speaking for myself only, I'll be blunt here. Most of the current and so-called "controversy" surrounding GreenTech appears to be politically motivated, and probably rooted in the GOP's otherwise increasingly shaky prospects in the Virginia governor's race this November.

Whatever veracity the Post sought to convey about GreenTech rests primarily upon complaints by several disgruntled individuals over the company's apparent failure to instantaneously transform its Mississippi facilities into the equivalent of a GM manufacturing plant operating at full capacity in only 13 months.

Having been a former state executive director for the party during McAuliffe's tenure as DNC Chair, I can attest that I'm certainly no fan of his, by any stretch.

But this particular WaPo editorial is vacuous scandal-mongering at its worst -- and unless the editors have actual evidence of influence-peddling and shady dealing at GreenTech to share with us, it's really nothing more than a thinly-veiled hit-piece on the VA Democratic gubernatorial nominee, and isn't worth the bandwidth used to post it.

One can only hope that the Washington Post's new owner Jeff Bezos sweeps the paper's status quo-cozy editorial regime out the door as they take charge, and bring in some fresh faces, eyes and ears to augment the professionally incestuous Beltway media circuit.

The video only mentions a deposition...no mention if it is a civil or criminal deposition.

The piece takes 2 minutes 32 seconds.  A little history would have been nice for those of us hearing about it for the first time.  I guess the history got edited out due to time constraints.  

Did J fix it, or was it the NSA?

Lots of time between now and 2016.

Remember the last two presumptive Democratic nominees were Hillary and Howard Dean.

Hillary will have full access to the Obama machine.
