It all hinges on whether he actually got involved with cracking the encryption and giving Manning material support in stealing the information.
If they can prove he did that, then he is not just some passive recipient of the information who then published it, he is an active participant in the theft of the information, and subject to the espionage laws. If they can’t prove that, then he is a member of the press with 1st amendment protections.
Oh boy.
Do you think he helped or just received the info?
I guess this court wont consider damaging Hillary in their decision!
Nor should they, of course.
