Truth hurts.
You have no idea about security clearances.
“If Trump gets in again, he needs to swing for the fences and have no fear of anyone.”
Personnel IS Policy.
But the corrupt Senate won’t let him get who we need. Because, the Senate is corrupt.
America can’t be saved with Mitch and Corynn running the Senate.
I’m not referring to security clearances
Need to KNOW! Add same security clearance or higher. I was also in TSN unit.
Still not talking about security clearance.
Nor is the article.
So, you’re saying the Chinese and Russians let him hang around because they were feeling generous.
—Glenn Greenwald
“ Trump must have been shocked to discover just how large and deep the Deep State swamp is.”
I do believe that Trump had no real idea going in just what Washington D.C., the uniparty and the federal bureaucracy were. He believed they were captured by ideology and were not very bright people. He even understood that they were deeply corrupt.
But he had no idea whatsoever how maliciously evil they were. (Something that honestly amazed me, I know who these people are…I think it was obvious what they were and are…but I guess perspectives can be different). It was his greatest flaw in dealing with them and with the federal behemoth. The bottom of the well of evil there can never be found.
I strongly suspect he really gets it now.
This truth is Assange used the punk.

“I don’t appreciate this from Greenwald even though I have generally liked his writings”
Greenwald (who is gay by the way) is a Libertarian, which is why Tucker Carlson (who once was and probably still is or leans that way a Libertarian) has Greenwald on his show all the time.
Too soon. It would have sent the message that leaking government secrets is okay.
“But now the US has charged an Australian citizen, who was not in the US, of breaking US law? It’s absurd.”
He is being extradited to the U.S. and therefore will be on U.S. soil to be charged for breaking U.S. law.
Blame the political blackmailers, not Trump. Trump was trying to stay there for the good of the whole country, as against two controversial figures little understood by the general public.
Assange accepted documents from a wide variety of sources... acting as a journalist outside the USA and was a non-citizen.
I do know this……but Greenwald minded his p’s and q’s and wasn’t calling Trump a coward
Greenwald inserted himself into both the Snowden and Assange situations early on. IIRC, he was helping Snowden find safe houses while he was still on the run, and also viewed and defended Assange from the libertarian viewpoint, national security precedents be damned.
Here's an article that gives a certain amount of factual background; even though it is from the New Republic, a leftish publication:
So, a foreign citizen has to follow US law because they might be extradited to the US?
So, if you were extradited to China to be tried for criticizing the Chinese government, that would be OK?
Hi.
Here’s the problem. Assange didn’t steal anything, but published “State” secrets from many countries. A or the Deep state(s) want him dead.
Even though Assange did the world a favor, he might be too hot to handle.
Snowden on the other hand stole state screts and exposed the federal Deep State. Which we all knew existed in some form.
See above for Mr. Snowden’s fate.
