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.
Isn't it the job of the US Government to protect information it deems classified?
What crime did Julian Assange commit by publishing this information that cleared persons passed onto his organization?
Does Julian Assange, an Australian Citizen, have some obligation to protect US classified information?
I don't think he does, but I'd welcome an explanation or rebuttal.
Trying to figure out if you are a Russian advocating for your country (fair enough...) or an American advocating for the most infamous traitor in recent US military history.
Military academies will spend the next 50 years training cadets how not to betray their country like Mike Flynn.
It's all about a vague sexual assault charge or jumping bail, or some shit. The UK and Sweden would NEVER engage in legal system theater just as cover for extraditing him to the U.S. Nope, this is all about some charge in Sweden that got dropped and Britian's endless noble quest for justice. No extradition worries for that bloke.
SJW: Someone who has run out of real oppression, and has to fake it.
Haven't you heard? US law is applicable to everyone else in the entire world, regardless of where they were born. However, the US reserves the right to ignore any laws it finds inconvenient.
Move along, citizen!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... it's a good read..
Have you fscked your local propeller head today?
You need to get your news from somewhere other than /pol/ or infowars or Qtard videos.
Mostly for your own sake.
Its all been nothing more than a series of bluffs to cause constraint and spying on him. The indications of bluffing is all over the place, never a yeah or nay on anything. The UK police had him in custody and did not extradite him. Julian offered to turn himself over for Mannings release but Obam nullified that offer right before granting Manning release. Sweden never had charges against Assange but refused to talk to him remotely or directly in the UK. Australia stays neutral. Even the incident of the UK Police going into the Embassy was not to take Julian out but only to verify he was still in there. How I know is on the only chat channel with video of the event that night I posted "Julian left the building two weeks ago" and this was followed by someone asking for verification. I stayed silent, they went in. all this in less than ten minutes. And who really think the UK Police are ignorant of Embassy law? Not I! I've also personally dealt with a different long-running elaborate bluff so I do understand Julian's concern given he has seen how nasty and manipulative some in the position of influence and power can and have been. But it all is a bluff against him as that is the only way those in power can constrain him while also sending a message to the people gov is supposed to be working FOR, that they don't but the people should fear them.
CALL THE BLUFF!
