US Preparing Charges Against Julian Assange written by jason ditz thursday april 20, 2017
US officials have repeatedly vilified WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange over the past several years, and intermittently called for his assassination, but just now appear to be nearing a decision to file charges against him, accusing him of crimes for involvement in the whistleblower organization.
What the charges might be remain a matter of speculation, as Assange’s lawyer says they’ve heard nothing from the Justice Department. CIA chief Mike Pompeo, however, suggested the charges could be speech related, insisting Assange doesn’t get “First Amendment freedoms” because he isn’t American.
This sudden interest in going after Assange is seen at least in part to be fueled by the Trump Administration’s effort to distance itself from WikiLeaks’ release of information harmful to the Clinton campaign in the 2016 election. Pompeo angrily attacked WikiLeaks just last week as a “non-state hostile intelligence service.”
Attorney General Jefferson Sessions insists that even though there haven’t been charges laid against Assange yet that arresting him is “a priority” for the Justice Department, citing the number of “quite serious” leaks WikiLeaks has been responsible for.
Even if the charges are filed, arresting Assange is likely to be a tricky matter, as he’s presently in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London, and Ecuador provided him asylum specifically because of fears he’d be sent to the United States and subjected to torture.
The British government has so far not allowed Assange to leave the embassy to travel to Ecuador, citing Sweden’s interest in extraditing him for “questioning” related to a rape allegation. The concern has long been that if Assange was sent to Sweden he’d be quickly forwarded on to the US government, and would probably never be seen or heard from again.
Interestingly, President Trump publicly praised WikiLeaks during the campaign for releasing information about Hillary Clinton, even joking that WikiLeaks might be able to find Clinton’s “lost” emails. Having since turned against Russia in large part as a political effort to distance himself from allegations of election manipulation, Trump’s cabinet is also turning against WikiLeaks.

Trump a puppet? You are naïve. Trump is the puppeteer. He controls everything. That's how he has conducted himself forever and nothing changes now that he is POTUS. Take a closer look at all actions of WH and maybe you can see the forest. Called all 100 Senators to WH for discussion on NK...they walked away confused on why since the rec'd nothing in further info than already public....because he wants and needs to reinforce that he has ultimate control! EGOMANIAC!!!! He's puppeteer, pulling everyone's strings including his "base"...been yanking their string for a long time and conti8nues to do so. Worst, most ineffective, most derisive Pres I can remember. A total windbag!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

NO president runs the show...if they tried....they'd end up like jfk! U.S. presidents are nothing more and nothing less than the 'face'. They are 'allowed' to make successes and are 'allowed' to take the the hits. This is the 'corrupt' system we live under and have forever! Voting makes NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever. Just the 'face/gender/body' changes. IT'S THE 'SYSTEM'.

You obviously have not looked at Trumpet and who he is and taken an honest look at what he has done/is doing, putting all the information into perspective, or you would find out just exactly what I have pointed out...

To who's benefit is he a puppeteer? With separate but equal branches of government and 24/7 media coverage, how does it happen? How do military generals and corporate CEO'S not see what you obviously see? Why did they join his administration, is Trump pulling their strings too?

To who's benefit is he a puppeteer? HIS OWN...DUH!
With separate but equal branches of government and 24/7 media coverage, how does it happen? WITH THIS24/7 COVERAGE YOU ARE SEEING IT HAPPEN IN REAL TIME RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES.
How do military generals and corporate CEO'S not see what you obviously see? GENERALS TAKE ORDERS....CEO'S ARE HIS FRIENDS AND HIS WH STAFF AND BENEFIT FROM HIS ACTIONS , SO WHY WOULD THEY BALK?
Why did they join his administration, is Trump pulling their strings too? JOINED HIM FOR THE BENEFITS AND CONTROL....NOT PULLING THEIR STRINGS, PULLING THE STRINGS OF OTHERS THAT BENEFIT HIM AND HIS CEO'S.
