Washington (CNN)US authorities have prepared charges to seek the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, US officials familiar with the matter tell CNN. The Justice Department investigation of Assange and WikiLeaks dates to at least 2010, when the site first gained wide attention for posting thousands of files stolen by the former US Army intelligence analyst now known as Chelsea Manning. Prosecutors have struggled with whether the First Amendment precluded the prosecution of Assange, but now believe they have found a way to move forward.

The CIA, FBI, NSA etc. can’t have a rouge agent telling the American public what they are really doing to us.
Agreed
You’re missing the big point. What was revealed was the massive illegal activities of the US intel community in spying ON the American people.
He exposed their crimes. Now the criminals are trying to punish him.
I know.
Manning had his sentence commuted by Obama... and he's the one who actually stole the classified information.
Just as Sessions has said on record he's gonna go after pot smokers.
The CIA claims they have new super-duper secret info that Wiki encouraged Manning to snatch and leak certain specific documents. And of course they would never lie to us, would they?
Meanwhile, Pompeo and Comey are in flight to New Zealand to collaborate on more global scale over reach of governmental surveillance.
Hillary, Susan Rice, Lois Learner,John Koskinen, Huma Abedin, etc.
Assange is guilty of far, far less than the above named definite criminals.
Comey should have been fired day 1. Pompeo is turning out to be as stupid as his predecessor.
Hmmmmmmmmm
Height of arrogance.
Assange is not a US citizen and is not subject to US law, nor did he commit a crime on US soil.
Those who authorized spyware my on US citizens should go to jail.
NO way Trump can charge Assange and not Hillary.. blowback would be unbelievable. IF Trump says if you charge Assange then you must charge Hillary I bet hey withdraw
....”Prosecute the effin leakers withing CIA, not the publisher of the leaks”....
Why not prosecute BOTH?
Well, Trump is scared of something....why else?....We’ll see.
BTTT
Not good. Especially if Sessions is on board with this BS.
Soros, Obama, Hillary and all their crooked apparatchiks should be priority #1.
Assange is a damn hero in my book. A Paul Revere. Certainly a bigger patriot than any of the intel aholes we have in D.C. that never ‘blew’ a whistle.
Obama’s dream come true....courtesy of Trump....what’s he afraid they’ll reveal???....
...”US officials familiar with the matter tell CNN”....
Well now and we should believe this because?????
Deep state will say anything about Assange to make him squirm.....he’s got the scoop on most of them.
Foreign news organization?
Well then, tell that to the FBI and Justice Department, who, according to the article above, will try to bring charges to Assange and Wikileaks.
