So his U.S charge is conspiracy to commit computer intrusion for helping Chelsea Manning. Pretty light for what he did. Another weird thing you don’t see a lot of people white knighting for Manning but him/her and Assange were pretty much hand in hand on this. How can you defend one and not the other?

I definitely believe Snowden deserves a full pardon. Pulling back the curtain on all the illegal shite the government is doing seems like a noble thing to me. Plus, he was a US citizen. I don’t really care about Assange since he was a foreigner just trying to disrupt shite.

Because Manning was a US citizen and a member of the US Army that used his security clearance to leak highly classified info to a foreigner (aka treason). Assange was not a US citizen nor a member of our military, simply a whistle blower.

I remember all those non citizen Soviet whistle blowers we had back in the Cold War, those guys got a bad rap, just trying to expose corruption

Both sides should laud him as a hero.

Yet both sides see him as the enemy because he has lifted up the rock to show the bullshite going on underneath. And yet here we are blindly following shitty republicans and shittier democrats in a race to the bottom.




Agree.

Wrong. He is not just a whistle blower. He planned with Manning and assisted him in stealing the classified info. Hence his charges. The main difference between them even if y’all won’t admit it is that he damaged Clinton during election so y’all give him a pass.

It's hilarious how y'all shite all over American reporters for using anonymous sources but then turn around and praise Assange as if he is some paragon of virtue.

Get the frick out of here with this shite. He isn't a goddamn patriot.

Look, in 2016 I didn't like either candidate. For the first time I made the decision not to go vote because I didn't like either candidate. I thought it was embarrassing who our two options were.

But do you know how Assange got the information he released? From a group in Russia (not sure if they were connected to Russian gov or not).

I know the Trump lovers will defend this and accuse me of being "liberal" or some bullshite, but look. If every bit of communications on both sides were leaked (whether it was emails, tapes of conversations, text, phone calls, etc) there would be all kind of shite that would probably surprise people, but someone like Assange shouldn't have that much power.

For those who are thankful for this jackass, what will you think when the next Assange pops up and does something to damage your party's campaign?

You really don’t think a government/military should have classified information or at least could have really good reasons to? I have no words.



YOU were the one who made the claim that Assange leaked information that put people at harm. Like what? If you are going to make that claim you have to back it up

As far as I am concerned the only people at harm by Assange were the deep state.

You are just another deep state/new world order bootlicker. Assange did nothing wrong but expose the illegal bullshite our government does.

Which is fine, but once he starts becoming a distribution outlet for an enemy's hacking operation to interfere in our domestic elections he becomes a criminal. As Dan Pompeo put it, he's a "non-state hostile intelligence service".



It was never proven that what Assange received was hacked. He claims he got the information from someone on the inside.

Let me know when Assange was ever proven wrong.

This has NEVER BEEN PROVEN.

Assange has claimed over and over the info he got came from someone on the inside. Many have speculated that to be Seth Rich.

Apparently you weren't paying attention to the news when the Assange leak of actual importance was released years earlier. He wasn't in the Embassy because of the Democratic party leak lol. A ton of classified military information that everybody agreed put servicemen and woman in harms way was leaked. You are not a Conservative you are a anti-government loon. I'd bet anything that you are a 911 truther correct?

If the military didn't want their dirty laundry being aired they shouldn't have been doing illegal shite.

It blows my mind that you are completely OK with the military doing illegal shite. In fact, it disgusts me. "Classified" information doesn't excuse illegal shite. You can't hide illegal activities behind classification. You seem to think its completely OK to do illegal acts as long as its classified.
