US Investigators Probing Years of WikiLeaks Activities, Report Says (reuters.com)

WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange are the subject of a long-running criminal investigation in the U.S., Reuters reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter. Investigators have dug into the website's activities going back years, people who have been in contact with witnesses in the case say. From the report: American investigators are gathering information and pursuing witnesses involved in both recent WikiLeaks disclosures and the website's large-scale postings of U.S. military and diplomatic messages over several years from 2010. Officially, U.S. authorities have issued no public comments about the status of Wikileaks-related investigations. But a document which U.S. authorities said was mistakenly filed in open court in an unrelated case last November alluded to a sealed U.S. criminal complaint against Assange, though the document does not provide specifics regarding which laws U.S. prosecutors believe Assange violated.

And Roger Stone has proof that the Mueller probe dropped a hot tip about the raid to CNN before they did it. They know that someone in the DoJ or IC leaked a very sensitive SIGINT program targeting the Russian embassy to score political points against Gen. Flynn. And don't even get started on the royal shit show of perjury that the Steele dossier turned out to be.
At this point, Trump should formally pardon Assange and order the leaky insiders to face a scorched Earth retaliation from his AG.
