@YossiGestetner @ggreenwald @mtracey @mtaibbi @wikileaks Trump hates the media, wants to "open up libel laws". I think he wants to charge journalists who publish classified docs (investigative journalists) with felonies. Someone came up with this strategy, which Obama rejected, and he decided it's worth throwing WL under the bus — PolitiTweet.org

@RichardLDodson He gets to make the exact same case -- about journalists conspiring with their sources, and covering their tracks, to publish classified documents -- against the New York Times, Washington Post, ProPublica, etc., next. The Trump admin wants to set a precedent — PolitiTweet.org

@YossiGestetner @ggreenwald @mtracey @mtaibbi @wikileaks So by extension you think that Obama's war on whistleblowers wasn't actually his strategy, or his fault, and it just randomly happened under his administration? https://t.co/0Ltrwg8rCH — PolitiTweet.org

@SmelOdiesOG @overtpessimism @sethobannion @Amuoralzg @Snowden Huh, I hadn't heard that. But it doesn't change the fact that Snowden got in a plain from Hong Kong to Moscow, during the flight the US revoked his passport, and when he landed he was not allowed to board his connecting flight to Ecuador https://t.co/xdNL8Fp5Za — PolitiTweet.org

@SmelOdiesOG @overtpessimism @sethobannion @Amuoralzg @Snowden Assange is a narcissist who lies about everything (see https://t.co/T6e4k0BwMb), and neither he nor RT have any credibility. But what does that article actually say? It was Assange's idea to layover in Moscow on the way to Ecuador, or to end up in Moscow? — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@YossiGestetner @ggreenwald @mtracey @mtaibbi @wikileaks Because he wants the precedent. It's not secret that he hates the media, calls us "enemies of the people". Choosing an super unpopular test case to criminalize investigative journalism and source protection, the asshole Julian Assange, is a good strategy — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@overtpessimism @sethobannion @Amuoralzg @Snowden He didn't go to Russia by choice. He was on his way to Ecuador when the State Department revoked his passport, and he wasn't allowed to board his connecting flight. So being stuck in Russia, he applied for asylum. It was never his choice to end up there — PolitiTweet.org

@WritesTruths This indictment and affidavit doesn't include any new information that wasn't part of Manning's trial in 2013. (Maybe there will be more indictments in the coming weeks, but this one contains nothing new) — PolitiTweet.org

@ScaredyCat44 What we know now, from this affidavit, is: - "there is no other evidence as to what Assange did, if anything, with respect to the password" (he probably didn't crack it) - It was a password for a local "ftp" Windows user, which did not give Manning access to more docs — PolitiTweet.org

Contrary to what a lot of people seem to believe, the password in question was for a local computer-only account on two Windows computers that Manning had legit access to. It wouldn't have given her access to new databases or documents that she didn't already have access to — PolitiTweet.org

Manning allegedly booted to a Linux CD on two DoD Windows computers, which apparently didn't use disk encryption and allowed booting from CDs, to dump password hashes.

The alleged crime was in 2010, but Brown wasn't assigned to the case until 2017. I think this adds weight to the argument that Obama DOJ decided they couldn't move forward for press freedom reasons, but Trump DOJ decided to just go for it, because screw the free press https://t.co/SVPTKHI3ll — PolitiTweet.org
