The media better be careful before cheering this on, and they want to because Assange cost their candidate the election. If the government can go after WikiLeaks, they can go after CNN, the Washington Post, and the New York Times who all either leak documents or (usually) leak info via anonymous sources. (WikiLeaks is more honest because they leak the full documents - no anonymous sources. Their documents have never proven to be false.) The Washington Post actually had a link where people could contact them if they wanted to leak government info.

Unless they can prove that the following linked paragraph is true and true in the sense that they didn't just communicate with Manning but ordered and helped Manning in stealing documents as opposed to just leaking them, I do not support this.

Last week in a speech at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, CIA Director Mike Pompeo said: “WikiLeaks directed Chelsea Manning to intercept specific secret information, and it overwhelmingly focuses on the United States.”

I can understand where Pompeo is coming from as the head of the CIA, and I understand we don't want our security secrets leaked, but some things, like the fact that they can spy through a smart TV or phone or hack a car are things that I would rather know.

As I said above, this creates a bad precedent if Assange is arrested because it opens the door for other media.

Does the American people have the right to know it’s govt is spying on them? Does the American people have the right to know about the corruption of the Clinton’s, the DNC, the corruption in govt including US Intel agencies?

I can think of lots of people in govt that need to be locked up but not Assange.

Trump would have been smart to leave Assange alone, neither going after him nor pardoning him. This will hurt Trump with voters.

Meanwhile Hillary Clinton is as free as a bird.
