Assange won’t face charges over role in devastating CIA leak

The Justice Department has decided not to charge Julian Assange for his role in exposing some of the CIA’s most secret spying tools, according to a U.S. official and two other people familiar with the case.

It’s a move that has surprised national security experts and some former officials, given prosecutors’ recent decision to aggressively go after the WikiLeaks founder on more controversial Espionage Act charges that some legal experts said would not hold up in court. The decision also means that Assange will not face punishment for publishing one of the CIA’s most potent arsenals of digital code used to hack devices, dubbed Vault 7. The leak — one of the most devastating in CIA history — not only essentially rendered those tools useless for the CIA, it gave foreign spies and rogue hackers access to them.

Prosecutors were stymied by several factors.

First, the government is facing a ticking clock in its efforts to extradite Assange to the United States from the United Kingdom, where he is being held. Extradition laws require the U.S. to bring any additional charges against Assange within 60 days of the first indictment, which prosecutors filed in March, accusing Assange of helping former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning hack into military computers.

They explain how the CIA has a collection of tools, and techniques to blame a computer intrusion on anyone they want. That becomes rather interesting when the same agency is busily telling us the Russians hacked into DNC computers. Assange exposed Vault 7 about six weeks before the 2016 election. That’s why they flipped out so bad.

THIS!

Maybe they could reopen the Seth Rich case.>>>>>

Assange is sick you see. And he will be a likely victim of Arkanacide.

Assange should sing like a bird to the US DOJ.Thats what they are afraid of in Britain , where the British administration still supports Hitlery and Obungo.

Its very likely that Assange knows a lot about Seth Rich, a disgruntled Bernie supporter who was an IT techie for the DNC in Washington.Rich got a double tap to the back of his head, a professional hit.
