In the affidavit submitted to federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, prosecutors said U.S. military reports from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq included information about the “identity and significance of local supporters of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan.” According to prosecutors, leaked reports on the Afghan war included information on militants’ improvised explosive device designs and attacks, including details of U.S. and coalition countermeasures against such home-made explosive devices and their limitations.

Barry Pollack, a lawyer for Assange in Washington, said: “Encouraging sources to provide information, and using methods to protect their identity, are common practices by all journalists. There is no new information in the affidavit that was unavailable to the Department of Justice when it decided in the Obama administration that pursuing criminal charges against Mr. Assange would be contrary to the First Amendment.

Bullshit

Dirty secrets must be kept under wraps unfortunately... we wont learn all the dirty dealings of certain nations

Exposed war criminals. Ones that killed Reuters journalists.

I think he changed his religion to Islam

If revealing the truth about war crimes injures the U.S. then the U.S. shouldn't engage in criminal activity. If revealing the rigging of the 2016 Democratic primary injures the U.S. then the Democrats shouldn't engage in rigging elections. TRUTH ABOVE CRIMES! FreeAssange

How you look .? Good Bout some in we cool

Well, duh. Again, it's too bad we no longer hang traitors in this country.

So can anyone just walk into any embassy and take up residence for years or was this white privilege? 🤔

I would hope exposing war crimes hurt the US. That would be the whole point of leaking said war crimes.

Swedish prosecutors considering request to reopen Julian Assange rape caseThe 47-year-old sought refuge in London’s Ecuadorian Embassy in 2012 while facing extradition to Sweden in connection with sexual assault allegations. Reopen the case! Of course he has. That’s why he’s been hiding and evading facing the charges. He used his infamy as an excuse to perpetrate sexual violence against more than just one woman. If it was America he would be awarded a lifetime judgeship appointment or even... [...] Buried well into the story, rape allegation(s) are why he went into exile back in 2012.

In Ecuador, Assange’s expulsion reflects desire for better relations with the U.S.As a new president grew closer to Washington, Assange’s ouster from the country’s embassy in London seemed inevitable. *controlled by the globalist elites translation: the current Ecuadorian president, unlike his predecessor, doesn't report into Moscow. I assume Assange smearing feces on the walls of the embassy didn't help.
