Assange? No, he's not a US citizen, he did not go to the US and spy on us, he didn't buy secrets, he didn't trade them to our enemies. All he did was publish some of what he was given. That's first amendment territory. He's now a victim of persecution. Set him free, leave him alone.
Snowden? No, get him under lock and key, maybe execute him for his treason. He was US citizen, took our trust, abused it, gave it, maybe sold it to our enemies. He deserves jail or death.
Okay, Snowden shared illegal activities. Sure, thank you, but that doesn't excuse his actions. He could have been a legit whistleblower, or gone to the American press. No, he went to Russia.
Agreed. Assange was federally indicted in 2018. His crime was exposing the deep state. Enough said…
“All [Assange] did was publish some of what he was given. That’s first amendment territory. He’s now a victim of persecution. Set him free, leave him alone.
Snowden? No, get him under lock and key”
Assange knew when to keep quiet—only publishing what was sent to him. He kept American conservatives waiting for the next outrage.
