Replying to @BBCDanielS
District Judge Michael Snow tells the defence it is “unacceptable in front of a packed press gallery to traduce the reputation of the senior District Judge”. He says it is “grossly unfair”

The fact that Assange is only being charged with CFAA violations will make it an interesting question whether the UK will distinguish this from Lauri Love, who successfully fought extradition to the US on hacking charges: https://www.theguardian.com/law/2018/feb/05/hacking-suspect-lauri-love-wins-appeal-against-extradition-to-us …

Snowden is right, of course. But the good news is now we can shut down all of the enemedia and throw them all into prisons. All of them have published leaked classified materials.

Without Wikileaks we would never have know what Crooked Hillary and the Crooked DNC were doing. I like WikiLeaks, too.

Yet you want to silence them and throw them in jail?

I was responding to what you wrote about the Enemedia as you put it. You like
Wiki yet you want to silence and jail the leakers. Seems
to be a disconnect there.

Think of it as an If Then statement.
If the feds are going to throw one publisher in prison for publishing leaked classified materials
Then every one of the enemedia can meet the same fate.

So you support what they do yet you want to see them punished for doing it. Strange

No one can be as dense as you pretend to be.

No one can be as dense as you pretend to be.

Nor as hypocritical as you are on this issue.
