york times was this close to being prosecuted for publishing the pentagon papers under the nixon administratione was a grand jury impaneled. dick cheney under the ford administration wanted to charge the new york times under the espionage act. there have been several close calls. the only reason it has not gone through is because government officials had been worried ultimately the law would be overturned as unconstitutional. what they found with julian assange is an unpopular and polarizing figure that journalists will not defend because they may not like him and that is incredibly dangerous. bad facts make bad law. that is why everybody was so worried about this case. if there was a precedent set with julian assange because of the charges in the documents that the government says, it means they can then turn around and use that on the new york times or washington post. whether or not there are cosmetic differences between the two. nick: jamil jaffer, trevor timm. thanks to you both. ♪ stephanie: i'm stephanie sy with "newshour west." here are the latest headlines -- israel's supreme court rul
