... and as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, I can assure you that the fact that American troops will be killed and injured, and U.S. diplomacy and intelligence gathering was seriously damaged has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the necessary and patriotic actions taken by Julian Assange ...
How’d Mrs. Conyers doing these days, congressman ?
Been over to the Graybar Hotel for a visit lately ?
Translation: Liberals and socialists are above the law.
F’ers!
What’s sad is I’ve seen a lot of FReepers defending the scum Assange.
They got nothing on Assange but an alleged broken condom. Assange is the alleged fallguy for the government to start regulating the internet, which includes monitoring and spying. Assange is a government patsy. Nothing else.
All your Christmas turkeys are mine!
Why isn’t anyone talking about the gay soldier that actually stole the documents he knew were classified?
Given the Pentagon Papers case and its precedent, I don’t know that they can successfully prosecute him. And if he gets prosecuted, then you have to nail the NY Times too, it published some of what he published. If its a crime to publilsh it second hand then its a crime to publish it third hand.
Nah ... that's only reserved for conservative Republican organizations.
Does he even listen to himself? His wife is in jail, his son steals a government car for personal use. LOL, Conyers should go away into the night and never return
Conyers is just what the first three letters of his name says: CON. And he’s a socialist and his wife is a jailed felon. So, WHO SHIVES A GIT WHAT HE THINKS.
Well, if your “marker” is the New York Times, for instance, who has published “top secret” information without criminal charges .. then I guess he’s right. This is “extreme.”
At a hearing on the legal implications of potentially prosecuting WikiLeaks, panel Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) said the group’s recent dissemination of classified diplomatic cables might have been embarrassing for the government but that the real-world consequences have been fairly modest. Sure...Conyers is objective: /s
