One other thing I saw in Cates writing I think ... he hates JA btw - he noted that in a “whistleblower” case, Manning would have nabbed targeted + relevant docs and those alone. But, in the Manning case, they took (stole) everything they could en masse. I think JA also crossed the line in those regards, too (given his role as participant + instigator vs. solely + good faith recipient)
I am zero tolerance on hurting the US and its military and defense. This is a twist for me to ever hear that Assange had any connection to Manning. Simply never heard of it until the media pile on during the last couple of days.
I thought Assange rather a Hero, who saved America from Hillary and the Left, single handedly, and then as a result helped change the course of history by waking up Americans, which resulted in us electing Trump.
I just watched Jason Bourne tonight. Certainly hope its not possible to plant fake crimes against JA.
Also, Ive read over the last couple of years some blurbs that he was cracking up in isolation, and unhealthy.
Like him or love him, he still hates HRC with the heat of 10,000 white hot super-nova suns.
