Well, I have to admit that I’m amazed, but not surprised, that the Trump administration is not keeping its promise to have Attorney General Jeff Sessions appoint an independent investigator to investigate Hillary Clinton, but instead, they are preparing charges and seeking to arrest Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange.

During the Obama administration, it was thought it would be difficult to bring charges against Assange and Wikileaks for posting files that were taken by former US Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning.  Part of the issue was that they would also have to go after outlets like The New York Times, as well as other media sites and publications, which would then border or acting against the First Amendment, which prevents Congress from writing law to abridge the press.  Since no law can be written, no law can be enforced.

CIA Director Mike Pompeo hypocritically said that Wikileaks “directed Chelsea Manning to intercept specific secret information, and it overwhelmingly focuses on the United States.”


On Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that arresting Assange is a “priority.”



Assange has addressed the claims made against him and he simply appealed to the fact that what Wikileaks does is consistent to the protections provided under the First Amendment.






Well, it appears the Attorney General is seeking to interpret something that I don’t actually see in the Constitution.  If our laws apply to people in America, how in the world is Sessions seeking to hold Assange to laws that don’t exist under our Constitution?

However, Pompeo claims, “Julian Assange has no First Amendment freedoms. He’s sitting in an Embassy in London. He’s not a US citizen.”

So, Pompeo does not believe the right to expose corruption via the press, regardless of whether it is in your country or not, is not a freedom men have.  Pompeo is directly opposed to those men who signed the Declaration of Independence, who declared:


“Never in the history of this country has a publisher been prosecuted for presenting truthful information to the public,” Ben Wizner, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, told CNN. “Any prosecution of WikiLeaks for publishing government secrets would set a dangerous precedent that the Trump administration would surely use to target other news organizations.”

Of course, all the neo-cons and leftists have been actually demanding the assassination of Assange because Wikileaks is exposing them for the criminals they are.  Take a look.

The Vault 7 leaks just got a little too close to home for the CIA is all.  They are continuing to look for the whistleblower who leaked those documents to Wikileaks.

So, watch for more transformations from the Trump administration in the coming days.  Those who once were so supportive of Wikileaks and Julian Assange have just stabbed him in the back and sided with the likes of Barack Obama, Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton on this issue.

By the way, AG Sessions and President Trump, when will that special prosecutor be appointed that was promised to the American people.


 Those 100 days is about up.
