7:02 pm
back in 2011 on the recording of allegedly speaks to cliff johnson an attorney at the u.s. state department the wiki leaks founder warns johnson that an archive of 250000 department cables containing classified information have been stolen and was being spread around the internet. who would be releasing the. police. tried. for you 3. of the material.
7:03 pm
that's correct. ricky leaks has long been accused of carelessness in the way it handled the leaked documents as it was claimed they could endanger u.s. officials however the recording of a songe speaking to the state department seems to demonstrate the opposite on it sounds also suggested the u.s. government covertly removed the files from the internet and offered to help track them down but the unredacted information was published not long after now a year later took refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london fearing extradition to the u.s. he was under active investigation by washington at the time for his role in publishing documents on possible u.s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan however he was only charged with espionage in 2019 a month after british police dragged him from the embassy 7 years after being granted asylum there has been in a british prison cell ever since while a london court continues extradition hearings. was careless or simply not concerned
7:04 pm
i mean that saunders had told this this person that he had spent 24 hours calling very various u.s. government offices and no one no one would talk to him no rule no one would call 'd him back the tapes show. it was quite clearly that assad is concerned about the release of these on redacted files so he is quite conscious of how the information could be misused and therefore he wants to alert the relevant parties i'm sure that washington will argue that it still is wiki leaks fault but i think anybody who listens to this tape will show that wiki leaks is quite conscientious and trying to prevent any individual from suffering any kind of retribution as a consequence of the release of these files the democrats have been extremely hostile to to wiki leaks much more hostile than republicans. so therefore it be a good way for trump to stick it to his enemies.
