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

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?
