What is the difference between what he did and what the press did with the pentagon papers?
Is it that he doesn’t have a “press” license? if he didn’t steal the info what is it that he did illegally. Now those that did steal and release the info illegally...well they have issues with the law. But Assange? I’m still trying to see what his crime is.
If it wasn’t for Assange, the world would have never known HALF the things it did about Hillary, Uranium one, he founding and funding of ISIS, etc. We would have never seen the Podesta emails and learned about Pizzagate.
He saved the nation from Hillary by allowing all that to be published.
I think as far as the powers that be are concerned, it makes no difference. If he exposes them, they intend to get him.
I’m not making him out to be a hero. But I’m not sure what his actual crime is either.
