the case here, what is a different and what the trump administration will try to press is that julian trumpinistration will try to press is thatjulian assange named people in warzones they buy them and thatis people in warzones they buy them and that is why it is a violation of the espionage act. the obama administration had decided not to press charges because it thought it would be unconstitutional because of the first amendment and also it could have a chilling effect on investigative journalism. what i think is quite interesting is whether or not you can meaningfully separate julian assange, whether or not you can meaningfully separatejulian assange, who in some ways is acting like a journalist, which is why there are these concerns, and traditional media. can you legally and meaningfully separate the two? the new york times raises exactly the point. he's doing a lot of similar work. the difference when the new york times was given access to the same paper, they took an editorial decision not to publish because names who were in wa i’zo nes to publish because names who were in warzones

julian assange and wikileaks doing what they did in the 2016 election. this is not related to them working with russian intelligence material in 2016 to try to help trump win the election and to try to hurt hillary clinton. this is not about wikileaks and julian assange personally strategizing with trump campaign staffers about how to beat hillary clinton as they were releasing all of that information stolen by the russians. these new charges have nothing to do with that. these new charges also frankly have nothing to do with the nature of the material that wikileaks published from the chelsea manning documents in 2010. what this is, is now a novel legal effort to punch a huge hole in the first amendment by labeling it spying, labeling it criminal espionage to publish secret stuff. in a country where we have a long, proud journalistic history of journalistic entities publishing secret stuff. and of course this comes conveniently at a time when this administration, this president personally, is calling the press the enemy of the people. the president this week gleefully saying that his new attorney general is looking at bringing criminal charges, bringing c

wikileaks sent another direct message to trump jr., asking you guys to help disseminate a link alleging candidate clinton had advocated using a drone to target julian assange. trump jr. responded that he already had done so, and asked, what's behind this wednesday leak i keep reading about? wikileaks did not respond. on october 12, 2016, wikileaks wrote again that it was great to see you, and your dad, talking about our publications. strongly suggest your dad tweets this link if he mentions us wlsearch.tk. wikileaks wrote that the link would help trump in digging through leaked emails and stated, we just released podesta emails part four. two days laters trump jr. publicly tweeted the wlsearch.tk link. some more redacted. other potential campaign interests in russian hacked materials. throughout 2016, the trump campaign expressed interest in hillary clinton's private email server and whether approximately 30,000 emails from that server had in fact been permanently destroyed, as reported by the media. several individuals associated with the campaign were contacted in 2016, about various efforts to obtain the missing clinton emails and other stolen m

backing you. >>> the trump administration announced new criminal charges for julian assange. the second round of charges. the first did not indict him for publishing classified material, but alleging he sought to aid in the hacking of a government password. that is not protected by the first amendment. to knowingly access a computer without authorized access. today's indictment is different. it charges assange under the espionage act which is a terrible piece of legislation ripe for governmental abuse. the charge is that his publishing of classified information itself violated the act, stating that assange, wikileaks affiliates and manning shared the objective to shared the objective to subvert lawful restrictions on classified information and to publicly disseminate it. this is to put it bluntly, downright unconstitutional and tyranical. if it runs a foul of the law, so does the work of every press outlet, this one included. the first amendment protects the right of the free press and a free people to publish truthful information about public import, whether the government l

amy: the trump administration saying julian assange is not a publisher, is not a journalist, that is he is now protected by the first amendment? >> in the face of this new indictment, which let me correct something that has been said everybodytle wrong by so far. he does not just base 170 years, that is for the 70 -- 17 counts on the espionage act. he is still facing the five-year conspiracy charge that he started out with a few weeks ago. i was sure the administration did not want to keep julian assange in jail just for five years. so i have beenen expecting these espionage act charges. i expected them after he was extradited because adding them now makes a little more complicated for britain to extradite him now, as i understand it. they're not supposed to extradite for political l offens or political motives, and this is also -- obviously for both. from jululian assange point of view, it makes extradition a littttle more difficult. why did theyeyring it riright n? well, cocoming back to the case that i faced, i faced only 11 felony act charges, each worth 10 years in prison, plus

. >>> today the trump justice department charged wikileaks founder julian assange with 17 crimes undermy intelligence analyst chelsea manning to disseminate national defense and classified documents including the identities of human sources on which leakes in 2010. chelsea manning served seven years in prison after being convicted by court-martial of espionage. chelsea manning is currently in jail for refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating julian assange. "the new york times" reports today the justice department's decision to pursue espionage act charges signals a dramatic escalation under president trump to crack down on leaks of classified information and names squarely at first amendment protections for journalists. though he is not a conventional journalist, much of what mr. assange does at wikileaks is difficult to distinguish in a legally meaningful way from what traditional news organizations like "the new york times" do, seek and publish information that officials want to be secret, including classified national security matters and take steps to protect the confiden

the prosecution of julian the sun is part and parcel of trump's war on the free press full stop and i think the limited taken after that actually both in the u.s. and and here so i. somewhat optimistic about that you are right that he is facing battles on various fronts and it will be up to the u.k. home secretary to decide whether. any new extradition requests from sweden as a court hearing i believe in a slot on the 3rd of june will be able to take precedence over the u.s. case and that's something that's going to be worth watching very carefully my opinion is that i don't think it's completely stupid to say that you should face the investigation in sweden i think that they're understanding the reasons for saying that i think that needs to be treated as an entirely separate issue however so i do think that any started you are that should give precedence to the swedish request it's of the utmost importance that he also gives an undertaking that the british government will not allow an attempt to do it from sweden to the united states i think that's terribly important and that takes t

the prosecution of julian the sand is part and parcel of trump's war on the free press full stop and i think i'll be limited takers for that actually both both in the us and here although the 1st amendment the reserve right to be a news gatherer and clearly where julian the songs go see united states of america assuming the doors then there will be a court case to the supreme court related to that what cannot be allowed to happen is when a group of people in the military in the intelligence services in government break the espionage laws this could seem like a case where there could be some issues that he has to face and that he has to own up to but there also is the the facts that have come out that they haven't seen a lot of people who were who were either killed or damaged in the light of duty because of this so there have to look at actual damages and harm that this cause truth the matter was he has been afraid of making his case to a group of juries courts that actually properly constituted judge you are in serious i think he needs to go to america and he needs to make his case

in some way and so this is a very important case to look at the prosecution of julian the sun is part and parcel of trump's war on the free press full stop and i think they'll be limited takers for that actually both by sea the u.s. and here look the reason important process exists both in the united states in america and across the world although the 1st amendment the reserve to be a news gathering and clearly where julian the songs go see united states of america assuming he does that there will be court case to the supremes courts related to that but if you look at where bradley manning released all they see information he was ultimately paul didn't brock obama not because there's there's a process here what cannot be allowed to happen he's a group of people in the military intelligence services. break the espionage laws i think it's a basic mark of respect to chelsea manning to get her name right and and give her due respect on that score in addition she was never part of the administration i wish she had been her sentence was commuted which means that her conviction her conviction stands which is some
