Wikileaks is at the center of major questions in Robert Muellers investigation, including whether anyone involved in Donald Trumps presidential campaign assisted the organization in releasing hacked materials. But the charge in the one-count indictment against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange unsealed on Thursday shortly after his arrest doesnt speak to those questions or broader First Amendment issues.
In an indictment dated March 6, 2018, the United States charges Assange with one count of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion. The indictment alleges that in March 2010, Assange engaged in a conspiracy with Chelsea Manning, a former intelligence analyst in the U.S. Army, to assist Manning in cracking a password stored on U.S. Department of Defense computers connected to the Secret Internet Protocol Network, a U.S. government network used for classified documents and communications.

They keep blaming Assange for Hitlery losing which is absolute BS. What did he do? The worst was he exposed Dummie Whatshername Schitz siding with Hitlery and it didn’t affect voters one way or the other. The REAL reason Hitlery lost is because she sat in her fat ass her entire campaign. Nobody knew what her message was plus everyone knows she’s a crook. Yet here we are heading into 3 years later and people are still kissing this witches ass instead of putting blame where blame lies, on HER!
March 2010, wasn’t that during the 0bama administration, including when Hillary Clinton was Sec of State? Matter of fact, didn’t ALL of the so-called Russian meddling occur under the ever watchful eyes of 0bama, Clapper, Brennen, and Comey? How come this FACT is routinely ignored?
If Assange comes here and should disappear, check out Marcy Park.
No way does Hillary want this guy to talk.
Manning got clemency from Obama and is free
No mention of espionage, because that would make him vulnerable to the death penalty, and the UK could not then extradite him under their laws.
Julian Assange has an important role yet to play.
I agree....absolutely....worry he might get Fosterized.
No, it was the deflated footballs that did Hillary in!
They put him back in the hoosegow for refusing to testify against Assange.
Why the Charge Against Julian Assange Makes No Mention of Espionage or 2016 Russian Hacking
I’ll take “Seth Ricn” for $400.
This case is well beyond the two year Statute of limitations. There is no question that this information has been known for years!! Assange is a national hero for exposing the NSA illegally ( with out warrant) spying on every Americans Email , phone calls and text messages . Wikileaks ,after the first publication by DC LEAKS .com, truthfully exposed the fraudulent campaign practices against Hillary’s political opponent. That is something every American had a right to know.
“The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act has a two year statute of limitations that runs from the date of the act complained of or the date of the discovery of the damage. In Higgins, the Plaintiffs claimed that, while they suspected some sort of wrongdoing more than two years prior to the filing of their CFAA claim, they did not actually discover the violations or damage until later. The court found that the statute of limitations begins when facts that would support a cause of action are or should be apparent.’ Accordingly, when the Plaintiff suspected that those acts had occurred, those facts should have been apparent for purposes of limitations and limitations began to run at that time.”https://shawnetuma.com/2013/01/04/two-year-statute-of-limitations-of-computer-fraud-and-abuse-act-accrued-when-plaintiff-suspected-wrongdoing/
No,he is presently in jail.
In jail for refusing to testify in the wiki leaks trial.
Sorry, not trial but grand jury testimony.
I’ve read several reports saying that Assange developed “hygiene problems” while cooped up in the Ecuadorian embassy. One report claimed he had been smearing his feces on the walls, and this was the straw that broke his hosts’ back. Another claimed he had exhibited signs of serious psychosis. Make of that what you will.
