The Espionage Act and Julian Assange: the US Justice Department expands its case : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 27/5/2019

The standout feature of this angle is that Chelsea Manning, the key source for WikiLeaks as former intelligence analyst for the US Army, is less important than Assange.

It's a connected world, but by no means on he same level.

The Russian way, is to chase down the enemy on foreign soil and murder them.
That has practical outcomes of speed and cost savings towards resolution.

But in a capitalist world, Lawers have an insatiable appetite for easy money.

Sure, there maybe a long term negative outcome for journalists intent on exposing State secrets, but if it is to be a State secret they wish to expose, think twice would be good advice: It was always that way.

Information has a price!

Yuyuts,

Possibly because much of the cache of emails posted by Wikileaks under Assange were American files. Possibly because the publication of those files was illegal. Possibly because American interests were impacted negatively by that illegal publication.

Of course, that may have been the intention of making those files public, but that may be irrelevant in legal terms.

Dear Joe,

«Possibly because American interests were impacted negatively by that illegal publication.»

What if I, in Australia, encouraged people [with extreme success] to boycott all American products? This surely would impact on American interests negatively, but is not illegal in Australia. Was Assange breaking any local laws of where he made those publications?
