Manafort also faced like 100 years but skated to freedom basically.

[Pavlov]

[Spurs Homer]

Trump: “i loooove wikileaks!”

[Spurtacular]

:blah

How big a W is this for a Hiillary sperm shielder such as you?

[Winehole23]

Why is the Trump Adminstration prosecuting Assange?

Why doesn't DJT pardon Assange?

Apparently he lacks the balls to stand up to the DEEP STATE and the MIC.

the indictment makes clear Assange is charged with helping to steal the info, including hacking passwords. That is not covered by the 1st Amendment

I still do. And your stupid ass thought these indictments had something to do with the election. :lol

The same Wikileaks whose aim is to hurt US National Security. Who hacked the Pentagon?

[djohn2oo8]

TSA roots for criminals. My goodness.

[Chucho]

LOL djohn tryna get cred back. :lol

Espionage. Called it. It would be on the table for anyone associated with Wikileaks.

LOL djohn tryna get cred back. :lol

:lol poor fella thought this had something to do with the election

[djohn2oo8]

:lol poor fella thought this had something to do with the election
These indictments have something to do with getting people killed. Surely you don’t think Assange won’t talk so he won’t serve 170 years? :lol

[djohn2oo8]

What’s something he might try to do for a lighter sentence if convicted?

[djohn2oo8]

Btw. Who said he wouldn’t be charged separately? Hell these charges are separate from the last ones :lol

[Reck]

I still do.

Why?

For the simple fact you like to root for the enemy or is there something more behind your support?

[Spurs Homer]

:lol poor fella thought this had something to do with the election

You want to go on record here - and say that Assange

will NEVER get more indictments based on the election?

And does the press ever inform the government that they are going with the story, give us a reason to hold back?

answer: yes

Has the press in the US ever held back stories based on the response of the government as to why it should not be published?

answer: yes

That particular article covers a minuscule amount of what was released.
Wiki leaks did absolutely NOT have people under their employ who actually understand the nature of US relationships with other countries.

This is why the government does lend an ear to real news organizations. Not bulk release stolen data decided by one individual.

Under the DOJ's theory, receiving and publishing classified material is prosecutable as espionage. Journos aren't wrong to be concerned.

Lol passing off other people's tweets -- verbatim --as your own take.

Except Assange is and never was a journalist. Unless they instructed and assisted in the hacking of classified material they really have no business being concerned

[DarrinS]

Good to see djohn still alive

[Winehole23]

Assange doesn't have to be a "real" journalist to have 1st Amendment protections,

Fwiw, the Obama DOJ considered prosecuting Assange under the Espionage Act but declined to do so because they could see no way to do it that wouldn't put legit journalists at risk.

In this case, assisting a hostile adversary to harm US national security doesn’t get him 1st amendment protections. And yes The Obama administration considered it.

[Winehole23]

Face it: Trump is prosecuting Assange for showing up the USG and US Armed forces as liars and war criminals during the Iraq War.

If he succeeds, hard to imagine he wouldn't sic Barr on the fake news media next.

[Spurminator]

the indictment makes clear Assange is charged with helping to steal the info, including hacking passwords.

Where does it say this? Other than the tweet you copied.

If you can't see it or refuse to entertain the notion, that may reflect your own stubbornness more than the facts.

#15 In furtherance of this Scheme, Assange agreed to assist Manning in cracking a password hash stored on United States Department of Defense computers

[djohn2oo8]

And that Winehole is espionage

Thanks. I'd tend to agree this goes beyond 1st Amendment protections.

I also share Winehole's concern in that I don't trust this administration to differentiate.

[Winehole23]

And that Winehole is espionagewe'll see. legal process is seldom ao straightforward. if the government does not prevail on the merits of the case, you'd be wrong about that.

you could be right though, prediction is a fool's game.

[Winehole23]

Eugene Volokh has a fine-grained analysis of the 1st Amendment issues, with relevant citation of the indictments:
