Five hours ago ...and neither Nadler, nor Cummings have subpoenaed him yet....what's the hold up?

i saw that as breaking news

Meh... I doubt he ends up charged with anything serious... And despite past tough talk, I'm guessing we hear trump say something like "he lived in an Ecuadorian embassy for 7 years, he's suffered enough"...

im waiting for his associates to goto code red and leak or threaten to leak the really dirty stuff.

Huh, I hear the Clinton correction squad is on their way to England.

why is it the cons treat Assange as a harmless lib foil, while torching Chelsea/Brad Manning...

I'm not certain that's the case....however, if true, it would seem to be an easy question to answer....

My opinions on Assange are somewhat neutral....I think he's a useful tool and makes for amusing 'news'

Manning and Snowden compromised United States security by violating their oaths and duties to protect classified information to which they were entrusted. I'm not convinced either is more whistleblower than traitor.

IMHO, no matter how well intended Manning and Snowden committed treason. I think it will be very hard to prove Assange committed any crime. Also, an unacceptable precedent would be set in regards to freedom of the press.

Al, maybe because one wore a uniform and took an oath....

Now maybe you can explain the lefts lack of passion for whistleblowers when Barry burned so many?

Assange didn't take an oath and he isn't a US citizen.

For the same reason I believe traitors like Manning and others should be executed and foreign spies jailed and or exchanged for other spies. One is doing their job for their country the other is undermining the security of their country.

Well, Manning did get his pecker cut off... 😟

https://listverse.com/2016/10/14/10-shocking-things-we-learned-from-the-ongoing-wikileaks-dump/ 

Just a reminder

US govt has never made a case that any of the stuff Manning leaked was damaging...just embarrassing...she/he was never convicted of treason...

Manning wanted to shine some light on improper motives and conduct by US military in Afghanistan, without giving up any harmful info...

some US military men who revealed atrocities in Viet Nam helped bring that war to an end...heroes like Hugh Thompson, warrant officer/helicopter pilot who stopped the My Lai massacre...

this is not saying that Manning is a hero...far from it...

they

Simple. Manning betrayed his country. The other guy is a foreigner who just so happens to be a narcissist.

So, will he be a hero if he gets Trump's tax returns..?? 😟

That would take b a l l z...8-[

Wellll...fella's....

You can bet your bottom dollar that Assange had a "back-up stash of info" ( just like I do ) and it was the only thing keeping him alive...albeit his can fit on a thumb drive while mine takes the form of microfiche and paper...hey Gary, Fast Eddie, Pa Supreme Court Justices, Kent state Univ., and "the Appian Way Run to Savannah, Defenders"...don't you just love all those missing documents? Ripped off page corners?
Indented initials and the "other things" I did to your secret documents?
The young millennial Truman ghost associates put most of that stuff on multiple thumb drives too...just like julians peoples... But some are still in ceilings and janitors closets...
Just go ask "ms. cold as ice haspel" and the Hong Kong bureau FBI BOYZZZZZ.

POOR JULIAN...NO MORE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL VISITS FROM BAY WATCH PAMELA ANDERSON ...
NO MO'...awww shucks!! Why did you piss off the Ecuadorian president so much? You dumb f.u.k.k.k.

seems Assange will be charged with crimes relating to his hacking into Pentagon computer networks in 2010, helping Manning to obtain data he, Assange, wanted to publish...

Assange has been running from US justice since then...US DOJ and US Intel community, including Trump's appointees,believe that he is a "non-state hostile intelligence adversary with links to Russian intelligence agencies"...

so Assange is not vilified by the right, which usually stands for law and order and denounces anyone who publishes info that harms US interests...

is it because he helped Trump beat Hillary that cons have a skewed vision of him..."I love WikiLeaks"

looks like there are not charges that would relate to freedom of the press.
