[Meet the New Boss]

Yesterday, Assange was scum who was part of a conspiracy among Trump and Putin to deny Hillary that which was rightfully hers and probably should have just been droned to death like Hillary wanted.

Today, Assange is a beacon of freedom and holy warrior for the press!

Hey, don't give yourself whiplash, New York Slimes!

The New York Times Just Outed The CIA’s Top Iran Spy

If only he stored these top secret documents on a private server in his bathroom...he would have been ok.

The secret documents that Mr. Assange published were provided by the former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning,

I thought the Army intelligence analyst was Bradley Manning. It’s ironic that thanks to Obama, Assange could serve more time than the traitor who gave him the documents.

I’m trying to figure out how a Swedish citizen who publishes classified U.S. government information without ever setting foot in the U.S. is even subject to U.S. laws in the first place.

[Theoria]

Assange is subject to US laws while never living in the US or committing such crimes in the US? Like Cartel bosses who don’t live in the US?

Wikileaks devastated Hillary. They exposed all kinds of wrongdoing and Uranium one. They exposed Pizzagate. They exposed the Podesta emails. They exposed Hillary “one provate and one public” positions to the bankers. They exposed Vault 7 that the CIA collects tools and techniques so they can blame intrusions on any nation they choose (Russia hacked DNC computers anyone).

It’s a disgrace that Trump lets this proceed. Assange is a hero.

[glasseye]

Assange may not be a sympathetic figure but he is a hero.
He alerted us to the fact the ‘deep state’ was spying upon everyone, and the bastard judges condoned that practice.
All that ‘we are the good guys’ crap they taught us in elementary school may no longer apply.
Remember: obama promised to ‘fundamentally change America’...
I, myself, will not be entirely satisfied until I see gallows on the mall.

[Mariner]

He’s no more guilty than the NY Times.

[Steamburg]

The importance of a shrill NYT in defense of their sworn enemy (Assange) is so pleasing in that they must realize that they have committed every one of the acts with which he is charged. His conviction would be a gateway, of their own creation, to ending the first amendment. What a beautiful catch 22.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

As I heard it he actually assisted in cracking the passwords, not just releasing the information.

“Today, Assange is a beacon of freedom and holy warrior for the press!”

They are afraid that if they don’t defend Assange, they might be next.
