Wow. Make no mistake, this is a hugely significant development. This isn’t just some columnist for the New York Times or the Guardian, this is Rachel effing Maddow, the Queen Mother of all tinfoil pussyhat-wearing Russiagate insanity. This same pundit was just a couple of months ago not just smearing but outright lying about Assange, deceitfully telling her audience that the new legal rings closing around Assange were about his 2016 publications then instructing viewers not to Google anything about it because they’ll get computer viruses. Now that she’s recognized that this could actually hurt her and her network directly, she’s finally feeding her audience a different narrative out of sheer enlightened self-interest.
Yup, if Assange can be imprisoned for simply practicing journalism, they so can Rachel Maddow. Lol.
Assange's crime, according to liberals, is that he correctly and publicly assessed Hillary:
According to the Muller report, Julian Assange described Hillary Clinton in private messages as 'a bright, well connected, sociopath', and also made references to her 'bloodlust, and ambitions of empire'.
So now Rachel has to either defend Assange, who dissed the annointed Queen of All Liberals, perhaps contributing to her very well-deserved loss in the last election, or support Assange because the defeat of the First Amendment would mean that she's not safe either anymore, even though she is part of the corporate global coprolith that tells us all what we must believe.
Lol!
This bit by Caitlin Johnstone is also very good, though I don't agree with everything she says:
Lol that’s a painful realization, especially for lesbian feminist. I bet most hardcore feminists are all lesbians, since their live revolves around women only.
The thing is while I always advocated for Assange Wikileaks cucked before Shillary and the leftoids and the aclu is even worse. Also Leftoid mainstream media not long ago: "Assange is dangerous and works with Russia and must be silenced for national security, reeeeeee! Leftoid mainstream media now:" charges against Assange are a violation of the 1st amendment. Rezist orange man baad! Reeeee!"
The idea that Trump wants this is wrong and he's not cracking down on journalist like Obama did. This indictment is the Justice Department and the deep state. The entrenched bureaucrats want Assange gone and this is their doing, not Trump who is choosing his battles. He doesn't want to get involved with this shit because he has enough problems.
