For a few years, I've been mystified about how any American authority could prosecute Julian Assange, and certainly not for his actions in regard to the 2016 elections. It is generally figured by the MSM that Assange accepted various emails and published them, but it isn't clear that those emails (or, anyway, most of those emails) came from Russian sources. And there is already a precendent ("Pentagon Papers") that there can be no prior restraint for such publication, even if the publisher knew that the information was illegally taken from a government source. And, due to 'discovery' rules, the American government would have to reveal a great deal about what they knew, and how they knew it. Just about all downside, very little upside. Jim Bell
