Hannity doesn't understand that the internet is forever, why was he deleting all his tweets on Assange?
That’s good right there. Wonder what he’s scared of?

Assange isn't a reporter. Assange isn't a journalist. Assange is a Kremlin asset, has hosted a tv show on the Russian RT network, and his organization targets almost exclusively western democracies. Genuine journalists should not plant their flag on this hill.
When you insert your self in geopolitical affairs of dictators and scumbags ... on behalf of dictators and scumbags... then fuck you. Asshole Assange. AA. AA.
Holy hell, the left media is just as bad as the alt right media at this point on the subject. I guess the Russians have acted in nothing but good faith. People need to take those blinders off.yes, it's quite simple. watch the "Bernie Bros," liberdupians, and other suckers duped into Twitter Russian bot warfare continue to defend him, though.
Don't you mean the US govt?
Roger Stone wants him to testify at his trial. Says Assange will confirm that he had no contacts with Wikileaks.

You mean The Trump Shit Show? Yes I do.
The US govt for decades through GOP and Democrat administrations has inserted itself into geopolitical affairs of dictators\scumbags on behalf of dictators\scumbags.
It's like Trump will stand in front of a mirror and keep repeating it to himself to make sure he doesn't have to reach into his back pocket and read the index cards Ivanka writes his responses on.
Will the trial be public? This is going to be the one of the century, I can’t think of a more culturally/politically significant one than this.
Don't be talking about Bibi that way.
The people we've supported most strongly have been other Democracies around the globe. I hope you realize that the whole point of all this right wing nationalism is to turn us against each other.
Why would it be?
It disregards all the dictators we have supported.

I also think this is a bad idea.
I feel Assange himself is irrelevant to the concerns. Bad guy, good guy, doesn't matter. He's not the issue.
I think it a problematic area to have the gov too much involved in deciding who is and who isn't a journalist and therefore protected under the 1st. And I see politics is being used as a metric: "he's a Russian stooge" and "he had a show on RT". I find this troubling.
I generally oppose the USA exerting its jurisdiction beyond our borders. Sure, someone commits a crime here and them flees to another country go get 'em. I can see it somewhat with hacking too. But that's not the charge; it's conspiracy as I understand it.
I've also read that Statute of Limitations for both hacking and conspiracy have long expired and to get around that the USA is using terrorism laws/statutes. I'm not comfortable with that at all.

The government isn’t deciding who and who is not a journalist and no journalist would be protected from these charges regardless. The first amendment does not protect anyone from arrest and conviction for conspiracy to hack computers.
