For the first time in the history of our country, the government has brought criminal charges under the Espionage Act against a publisher for the publication of truthful information. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment

Tfw the rulers of mankind are too stupid now to use the media for brainwashing the people like they used to do for every war before. Idiocracy indeed.

Answer me this, then. What do we do to prevent China, Russia or whoever from choosing our elected officials when they hoard opposition research, and then use some intermediary to disseminate the information a few days before the election? Something has to be said for when and where information comes from. The statement from the ACLU pretends none of that is worth considering in this case, or any case.

Whoever publishes Truthful information should be thanked. They help inform and educate the public and thus strengthen our democracy.

I personally couldn't care less who provided the info, as long as it's 100% authentic, which it was.

Makes me wonder: Are you angry the voters were made aware of the DNC rigging the nomination in 2016?

What if it wasn't truthful?

They are bringing in assange to vitness against Clinton, they are just using these charges as a cover.

Why do you think sweden aka deep state central is trying to reopen the fake rape charges at the same time??

Sweden is the most Clinton/soros loyal country in the world. They are so brainwashed here that +90% still think trump is whatever msm says.

I'm surprised the ACLU is covering this like they are. I'd read someone postulating on what the deal was with Assange, and Manning; they were of the opinion that the manner in which Assange did something for Manning, that it was indeed illegal.

Aside from that, on my own level of belief, I think anyone who releases proof of crimes, in any manner, shouldn't be made an example of.

There are a variety of Constitutional issues with the Espionage Act, and far too few of them have been properly explored in case law. I welcome the charges against Assange, it is useful to compel the judiciary to weigh-in on these matters.
