Assange was trying to find a way for Manning to anonymously hack in and send him those files in order to protect his source. Those charges are nothing new. It was brought up in the Manning trial and the Obama DOJ didn't believe they had enough to prosecute Assange with anything as they concluded there's no way to distinguish Wikileaks from the Washington Post for example. This is nothing like what a reporter for the NYT would do or face, comparing them is absurd

No, there are other plausible reasons Obama didn't want to go after Assange, the biggest of which would be the possible discovery that DNC wasn't hacked by Russia.

By virtue of his pardon, he can provide detailed testimony regarding how WikiLeaks operates with absolutely no fear of punishment. However if he covers for Assange and is found to have perjured himself, he could face further prison time Obama may have issued a full pardon to somebody that may end up providing testimony damaging to members of the Obama Administration Manning was never pardoned. His/Its sentence was commuted, but the conviction stands.

Assange comes here where he is questioned by Barr and given a sweet deal of freedom once again if he tells him what he knows about Rich, the DNC server, Podesta, etc... Trump acted so stupid when questioned about this, it seems like there is a lot expected from this. Or, nothing at all, haha. Feast or famine.

This has more to do with Mike Pompeo who signaled Wikileaks out as a hostile intelligence agency working with Russia in his first speech as CIA Director shortly after being confirmed in early 2017. Of course, he welcome Wikileaks leaked DNC e-mails during the campaign. He deleted this tweet. Then Wikileaks started publishing CIA documents showing sophisticated methods of how they break into people's phones, computers, etc... after Trump took office and his tune changed.

Tiberius Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Will be interesting to see what Mueller has to say about Russians giving Assange the stolen emails, like Mueller's previous indictment states, and why Trump and compnay seemed to know in advance about all this.

You understand that if they did Trump was using Russia to win the Presidency. Sad Quote WASHINGTON — The special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election issued an indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers on Friday in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton presidential campaign. The indictment came only three days before President Trump was planning to meet with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia in Helsinki, Finland. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/13/us/politics/mueller-indictment-russian-intelligence-hacking.html
