As Twitchy told you, this afternoon, white knight Sean Hannity gallantly rode to Julian Assange’s defense, insisting that Assange and WikiLeaks have only the purest intentions and impeccable records of service.
Plenty of people were disappointed and disgusted by Hannity’s shameless WikiLeaks worship. And GOP Sen. Ben Sasse is one of them
WikiLeaks can rewrite history all they like. It doesn’t change what they’ve done — and it’s not going to stop people from Ben Sasse from calling them out.

Sasse is a POS opportunist backstabbing traitor. He will never get my vote. Between Hannity or Sasse, its a no brainer who is the patriot.
WikiLeaks saved America from Hillary.
So we should just forget all the harm WikiLeaks has done?
Sasse is standing up for Hillary and he cover story again.
Shouldn’t Ben Sasse do what he does best, go on liberal talk shows and laugh at the N word..remember when that happened, hardly a peep in the media since even though he has an R next to his name he’s NO Republican
NEBRASKA has had a real crop: Sasse, Hegel, Buffett
Chelsea Manning = lionized, heroic truth teller and freedom fighter and speaker of truth to power
Wikileaks= bad, bad leakers
Sasse neglects to mention Wikileaks was the publisher of Manning espionage
Assange is a hard left progressive who got mugged by the pure malevolence of Hillary Clinton
Sean’s only present interest in Assange is putting a stake in the heart of the favorite lambasting issue of Sasse’s, the phoney Russian Collusion tripe. Sean is very much on record for castigating Assange for the Bradley Manning debacle.
For the record, until they figure out some way around that X/Y Cromosome thingy, mother nature will not go along with the other crap.
Sean invited Assange to guest host his radio show.
They exposed that the NSA was illegally spying on the US population and that Clapper was a bald faced liar to Congress. They exposed CIA spying on Congress. They exposed an avalanche of Hillarys bribery and crimes. They exposed the Podesta pedophile ring.
They exposed the CIA hacking effort that collected tools from around the world to make any cyber attack look like it came from any nation they wanted. We learned about hundreds of sickening activities from WikiLeaks. We learned Hillary seriously wanted Assange droned and murdered. We learned Hillary only thought elections should happen when we are sure of the outcome. We learned of her speeches where she said of course all politicians have a private position and a public one. We learned that the CIA was indeed funding and arming ISIS in the beginning in collusion with Saudi and Gulf State interests. We learned that USAID and the US Embassy in Syria were plotting the “moderate rebel” movement as far back as 2007.
So absolutely yes id forget it. There was no way to expose the criminals in the CIA/NSA/and FedGov without some damage in other areas.
Secrecy is now used to cover up what they don’t want the American PEOPLE to know, not what they want the enemy not to know.
Assange was great on that Hannity interview. Thank God he exposed a lot of what our government was doing and concealing from we the people...their alleged “masters”.
So do you stand with Sasse against Hannity? DO you believe in Hillary’s Russian collusion and influence story? Because that’s what Sasse is pushing here.
If we can put the lie of the collusion to bed with that he releases the validated source for the DNC and Podesta e-mails, I’m all in. That does not take away the Manning thing and he will have to deal with that, even though the perpetrator is off scott free.
This coming from a background in crypto repair in the military and also access to comm centers in which Manning copied the info from. Which tells me he had a lot of help in getting it out.
Wikileaks has done heroic work. Pull your head out.
Last fall, WikiLeaks exposed the CIA Umbrage project in which they collected tools and techniques which could allow them to launch cyber attacks and blame them on any country they wanted.
This was right about the time they told everyone that Russia broke into DNC computers. They could prove it with the digital fingerprints they said.
That’s why WikiLeaks matters. It lets us know they lie almost constantly, and about everything. And it isn’t to protect things from the enemy. It is because they are doing things the American people would never approve of...like arming Al Nusra in Syria. Like changing sides and supporting black flag Al Qeida in Libya. Like arming the Sinaloa cartel.
WikiLeaks has done solid work.
No, we should celebrate the harm that WikiLeaks has done.
It is this simple, everyone loves and hates a leaker. What side you fall on that love/hate depends upon who the leaker harms.
Sasse is correct on the one hand in that leaks can hurt all of us. In a perfect world, we would all stand aside and say, “yes, this benefits my side but we can’t have this.”
But this is NOT a perfect world. This is a civil war world where the standard is: leak hurts the conservative agenda, its good and doesn’t matter how it was obtained. Let us focus solely on the content and report on it 24/7.
Leak hurts the left, let us decry the leaker and focus on the collusion or other imaginary sin that perpetrated the leak. The content is IRRELEVANT. Move on from the content, the jury will disregard.
Except that in the last election the jury didn’t disregard the content and all of the conspiracy-Trump Russian collusion theories couldn’t erase that blackboard.
I agree that Sean took a different stance towards Assange. But that was when he was playing by the Marquis of Queensbury rules. The left was only benefiting from leaks and not being harmed by them. If you accept the fact that leaks are going to occur in this day and age, regardless of your statesman like treatment of them, then the Marquis of Queensbury rules are DONE. I can accept that Sean has evolved here.
They’ve released many things that damage our national security.
Actually, Warren Buffett’s dad was a decent Conservative GOP Congressman (Howard Buffett). Shame the son turned into a filthy rich Commie dirtbag.
