It now appears all but certain that Chelsea Manning will soon appear before a federal grand jury and—likely—be forced to testify about her association with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange nearly a decade ago. A federal judge on Tuesday denied a motion filed by Manning’s legal team to quash the subpoena. Outside the U.S. District Courthouse, Manning told reporters that her attorneys “still have grounds to litigate” and would continue trying to prevent the government from compelling her testimony. Her attorneys’ bid to unseal her testimony was also denied. The subpoena, in the Eastern District of Virginia, was first reported by...

The big primary win by “democratic socialist” (i.e., dangerous kook) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may have you wondering if there is any limit to the extremism of those voters who have not walked away from the radicalized Democratic Party. Happily, there may be. At least the shudder-inducingly grotesque Bradley Manning didn’t win: Democratic Senator Ben Cardin took the Maryland primary this week with more than 80 percent of the party’s votes, winning in a landslide over challenger and convicted leaker Chelsea Manning. “Chelsea,” as Bradley now calls himself, committed ~750,000 acts of treason in the largest intelligence leak in US history. No...

Convicted leaker Chelsea Manning was soundly defeated Tuesday in her run against longtime Sen. Ben Cardin in the Maryland Democratic primary, ending a longshot bid that attracted widespread media attention when it began in January. Cardin, 74, triumphed over Manning and six other Democrats, although none was as high-profile as Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst whom President Trump has described as an "ungrateful traitor." A two-term incumbent and ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Cardin is expected to prevail in the solidly blue state in November. His Republican opponent is yet to be determined. For Manning, who...

Government leaker and transgender rights advocate Chelsea Manning entered the U.S. Senate race in Maryland to huge fanfare this year, but her campaign is poised to wind down quietly Tuesday when voters head to the polls on primary day. Ms. Manning promised to shake up the race, using her high profile to push a platform that included creating a universal health care system, abolishing federal law enforcement agencies such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and combating what she called the American “police state.” But the strain of being in the public eye after seven years in prison for leaking...

Takes another dig at Trump. Hillary Clinton responded to the arrest of Julian Assange by laughing and joking about it. Clinton claimed that Assange’s arrest had nothing to do with journalism and that the Wikileaks founder “has to answer for what he has done, at least as it’s been charged.” The former First Lady also took the opportunity to have another dig at President Trump. “I do think it’s a little ironic that he may be the only foreigner that this administration would welcome to the United States”, she joked before laughing. Given that Assange played a role in sinking...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could not hide her merriment as she responded to the arrest of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Clinton mocked Assange, who she largely blames for her failed bid for the White House.Speaking at an event in New York, Clinton said:“I do think it's a little ironic that he may be the only foreigner that this administration would welcome to the United States."

VIDEO On the heels of Julian Assange's removal from the Ecuadorian embassy in London and his arrest, a lot of people are wondering what happened to his pet cat.

BREAKING: Swedish software developer who is allegedly close to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is arrested at Quito airport, Ecuadorian official says.

Is Julian Assange a Russian agent, a criminal hacker, a rapist, all of the above, or, perhaps, nothing of the sort? The WikiLeaks founder was arrested in the United Kingdom pursuant to a U.S./U.K. extradition treaty. He will soon be extradited to the United States, where he will face charges in the Eastern District of Virginia. The Department of Justice publicly charged Assange with participating in the hacking of classified U.S. government documents. In both chambers of Congress, and all over cable news, Assange’s arrest drew defiant reactions. The United States has apprehended the notorious WikiLeaks “Russian” operative Assange, many...

In the post below I have posted a Periscope video from Jack Posiebec about a early 2017 deal with Assange Comey and Ohr squashed. It's 9 minutes long and make of it what you will

VIDEO The main task of an undercover cop is to remain, well, undercover. Unfortunately for the undercover cops surveilling Julian Assange they got EXPOSED in a big way just before (and after) they participated in his arrest at the Ecuadoran embassy in London.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has portrayed himself as a champion of a free press, but the U.S. Department of Justice’s decision to charge him with conspiring to hack government computers limits his ability to mount a vigorous free speech defense, some legal experts said.The charge unsealed in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia on Thursday said that in 2010 Assange agreed to help Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst then known as Bradley Manning, crack a password to a U.S. government network. At the time, Manning had already given WikiLeaks classified information about U.S. war activities in both Afghanistan...

RUSH: So Julian Assange has been arrested in the Ecuadoran embassy in the U.K. The Drive-By Media is ecstatic. And for those of you that are not clear on why, the Drive-By Media is again manufacturing a wholesale lie. And the lie is that WikiLeaks was the recipient of data from the computers and networks, the Democrat National Committee, that were hacked by Russians. This is a myth. This is a story. The Russians hacked the DNC computers and then gave whatever they got to Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, who then began to publish it in September and October of...

RUSH: Mr. Snerdley came in to me today and said, “You know, you’re gonna have to stop saying that you predicted it, because it’s gonna get so redundant you’re gonna start irritating people. You could say it every day.” No sooner, no sooner — in fact, let’s grab audio sound bite number 1. I want to remind you what’s going on. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. We’re here and ready to go for three hours. Telephone number, 800-282-2882.In the second hour of the program yesterday, in the monologue segment — that would be the first segment — I told...

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, publisher of whistleblowers, and Vladimir Putin’s lackey, was arrested in London on behalf of the U.S. government for “computer related offences” after Ecuador withdrew its asylum protection. Assange, who had skipped on bail in the summer of 2012 when under investigation for sexual assault and rape in Sweden, took up residency in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for the next seven years. Assange’s transparent cooperation with Russian intelligence in its efforts to undermine American interests and embarrass the United States is hardly in question. The notion Assange is a non-ideological warrior fighting to expose the...

VIDEO With the arrest of Julian Assange today on the heels of his removal from the Ecuadoran embassy in London, this is a good time to analyze who has been telling the truth over the years during the struggle between the WikiLeaks founder and the Deep State.

Pamela Anderson has taken to Twitter to berate the U.K. and Ecuadorean governments following the arrest of Julian Assange in London Thursday morning. Anderson called Britain “America’s bitch” suggesting the arrest was a way to provide a diversion from “your idiotic Brexit bullshit.” In a series of tweets the former “Baywatch” actress, who befriended Assange during his asylum sparking rumors of a romance, went on to call Donald Trump a “toxic coward of a President.” Anderson was a frequent guest of Assange during his time at the Ecuadorean embassy in London after the pair were introduced in 2014 by fashion...

British police have further arrested WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange on behalf of United States authorities under an extradition request, according to the U.K’s Metropolitan Police. In an update, the Metropolitan Police posted that Assange has been “further arrested on behalf of the United States authorities, at 10:53hrs after his arrival at a central London police station. This is an extradition warrant under Section 73 of the Extradition Act. He will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates’ Court as soon as possible.”

LONDON (AP) — Edward Snowden, the former security contractor who leaked classified information about U.S. surveillance programs, says the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is a blow to media freedom. "Images of Ecuador's ambassador inviting the UK's secret police into the embassy to drag a publisher of--like it or not--award-winning journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books," Snowden said in a tweet. "Assange's critics may cheer, but this is a dark moment for press freedom." Snowden was charged by the United States in 2013 of violating the country’s espionage act. He was...
