The Trump Justice Department inadvertently revealed in a court filing that it has charged Julian Assange in a sealed indictment. The disclosure occurred through a remarkably amateurish cutting-and-pasting error
in which prosecutors unintentionally used secret language from
Assange’s sealed charges in a document filed in an unrelated case.
Although the document does not specify which charges have been filed
against Assange, the Wall Street Journal reported that “they may involve the Espionage Act, which criminalizes the disclosure of national defense-related information.”
Over the last two years, journalists and others have melodramatically
claimed that press freedoms were being assaulted by the Trump
administration due to trivial acts such as the President spouting
adolescent insults on Twitter at Chuck Todd and Wolf Blitzer or banning
Jim Acosta from White House press conferences due to his refusal to stop
preening for a few minutes so as to allow other journalists to ask
questions. Meanwhile, actual and real threats to press freedoms that
began with the Obama DOJ and have escalated with the Trump DOJ – such as
aggressive attempts to unearth and prosecute sources – have gone largely ignored if not applauded........https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/11/16/as-the-obama-doj-concluded-prosecution-of-julian-assange-for-publishing-documents-poses-grave-threats-to-press-freedom/#more-186992
