@emptywheel @xychelsea @brianstelter I’m aware of her stance on grand juries and her comments on that show about the assault on press freedom was in the context of discussing her case and stance on this. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@emptywheel @xychelsea @brianstelter My point was she took a stance against this assault on the press and cites her refusal to testify against Assange in this grand jury as defending press freedom. I never said she was motivated by supporting Assange personally. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@emptywheel @xychelsea She articulated this position on @brianstelter’s show and said she viewed this process in question as an attack on the press. — PolitiTweet.org

People who say they recognize this Assange indictment as an attack on the First Amendment and freedom of the press in general should recognize that @xychelsea took a stand against this and is now paying a huge price for her defense of our freedoms. — PolitiTweet.org

@EddyCaplan1 are you aware that people have been sentenced to death in the US and posthumously exonerated on DNA? They were innocent and were murdered by the state after being falsely convicted. Hope that never happens to you or your loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

It's sick to watch liberals cheer the prosecution of Assange by Trump's Justice Department, headed by William "Exonerate the Iran Contra Criminals" Barr, as though this prosecution is not a massive attack on press freedom, rather some gotcha about the 2016 election. It's deranged — PolitiTweet.org

Regarding the new Assange indictments, we did an in-depth historical dive on @intercepted into the Espionage Act and how it has been used to attack journalistic sources, anti-war voices and dissidents: https://t.co/Q7u8IK8ZHJ — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

Julian Assange has just been charged with 17 new counts under the Espionage Act. None of this is about 2016, the election or allegations in Sweden. This is about attacking journalism and the public's right to information about war crimes done in their name with their dollars. — PolitiTweet.org

@PunishmentHurts Maybe stop assuming and actually read what the indictment charges. — PolitiTweet.org
