This guy was just intent on hurting western nations while working with the Russians. He was not anyone's friend. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 This isn’t about what he published, it’s about HOW he attained the information. He hacked into a government computer. There is where you find the hacking conspiracy crime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arrest is for 2010 crimes. Obama’s admin. didn’t act on it. Trump won’t admit Assange helped him in 2016 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMichael 24,900 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Wow crazy I don't know exactly what to think about him actually, because his situation is very controversial, but I can't deny that WikiLeaks is one of the greatest and influential websites ever It's evident that USA put pressure on Ecuadorian government with its geopolitical power and I guess the other states didn't oppose to this decision, since Assange has so many enemies On the other hand, Edward Snowden has way more powerful supporters and his situation is less controversial Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can go If Hilary had done things which would hurt her if leaked, doesn’t that mean she can go? He didn’t create anything, he just leaked what had already happened Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy McQueen 4,484 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Getting arrested for exposing corruption? Or getting arrested for orchestrating a security breach of classified information? Also he has some kind of sex crime hanging over him in Sweden... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That falls outside the protections of the first amendment. Edward Snowden also copied and leaked government info. He has criminal charges against him. Yet I'm sure Snowden is praised by most people.
