If you're upset about the theft of classified documents from the U.S. government -- and there is reason to be -- we already know who did that. A 22- year-old Army private named Bradley Manning, now called Chelsea Manning. In 2013, Manning pleaded guilty to stealing secret material and got 35 years in prison for it. Shortly after that, President Obama commuted Manning's sentence. This allowed Manning to leave jail decades early, go back on television as a commentator, and then run for political office.
So if your real concern is America's national security, you have someone to be angry at -- Barack Obama. And yet strangely, nobody is.

Press freedom? Sure, as long as we agree with your politics. The First Amendment? Well, that all depends. Who did you vote for?
The guardians of speech or now the enemies of speech. The people charged with policing power are now colluding with power. There's a reason you see John Brennan on NBC all the time. They're all on the same team now.
We're not saying any of this to defend Julian Assange. We just want to be absolutely clear about who hurts this country more -- and it's not him.

I like WikiLeaks, but if the indictment is true, they got Assange.
So much truth in one short sentence!
Let’s see. I can see how potentially Assange could have info that blows #FusionCollusion wide open and Barr may very well want to negotiate a plea deal that starts by putting McCabe, Comey, Lynch and about two dozen others in prison. Maybe even Her Thighness and 0bama. If Barr can start this by Easter I may consider giving up Hope for Lent worthwhile.
I’m not so sure it is. According to Carlson, Assange was neither involved in the conspiracy or the theft. He simply posted that which was already stolen.
Plot twist: Trump’s DOJ charges Assange, either bungles the case and double jeopardy kicks in, or he gets sentenced to a small fine and community service time.
You have to be careful with Tucker. He claims he doesn’t know “any white nationalist”. If it means he doesn’t know anyone who wishes there was a country where white people are safe he might need to get out more.
He doesn’t know any because it’s a made up word that defines a group of people that basically don’t exist.
Tucker Carlson is driving liberals crazy. He is becoming an authoritative voice of rational conservatism and is assuming the mantle of Bill Buckley. He is viewed by 3,000,000 nightly and his comments are widely dispersed on social media and the internet reaching millions more. He seems to be succeeding where Bill O’Reilly ultimately failed.

If memory serves, BOR failed because he was basically a “who’s looking our for you?” large government type. NOT what the framers intended and not what the gope stands for.
KYPD
He doesn't mean that at all and you know it......sheesh!
Having read & listened to William F. Buckley for years, it is my humble opinion that the leader of conservatism in the U.S. is a new American named Mark Steyn.
Mark frequently appears on Tucker’s show and though their views are in perfect synch, it is Steyn who possesses a certain gravitas or even grandeur, like WFB holding forth on Firing Line.
Or maybe it’s his dry English wit or British sounding accent (which Buckley was often accused of affecting).
What a mess our world is. The original evildoer gets off easy. The publisher of his evil deed may or may not get off easy....but who cares at this point since the original evildoer got off easy and the jerkwad that should mever have commutted his sentence ruined America like a false messiah and we all have to pick up the pieces, again.
Just like Jesus explained to us and the Bible Old Testament shows over and over. Time for big boy pants, again.
A crime is a crime, no argument there. But in terms of the magnitude, does the complaint allege that Assange succeeded in cracking any password or hacking into anything? I may have missed it but I don’t think so.
Wikileaks had NOTHING to do with that retard losing. The man came down the escalator and promised the American people a WALL! The American people would elect a freakin penguin at this point if it meant a WALL!!
Steyn has become a US Citizen? Best news I’ve heard today.
Agreed! I’m sooooo sick and tired of the excuses. Hillary lost because she’s Hillary!! Tucker should know better than that.
