Title: If Trump is So Worried About ‘Fake News’ Why is He Prosecuting WikiLeaks—Who’s Been 100% Right

As TFTP reported, on Thursday, several men in black suits, surrounded by a dozen cops, raided the Ecuadorian embassy in London and kidnapped Julian Assange. Moments later, the Department of Justice released a statement charging Assange with computer hacking “conspiracy” for allegedly working with US Army soldier at the time, Chelsea Manning. After the charges were levied, Donald Trump took to personally denouncing anything to do with WikiLeaks, claiming “I know nothing about WikiLeaks.”

Trump’s comments highlight a trend among all those in power and their two-faced relationships with this media outlet. When WikiLeaks is exposing their political rivals, they are the darling organization who deserves protection for journalism. However, when WikiLeaks—who toes no party line—exposes corruption within their party, calls for Assange’s assassination fill the news cycle. 

During the 2016 elections, Trump frequently praised WikiLeaks for exposing his political rival, even declaring “I love WikiLeaks!” However, once he became part of the establishment, WikiLeaks was now his enemy and therefore he must distance himself.

When asked about Julian Assange’s arrest on Thursday, Trump said at the White House, “It’s not my thing. I know there is something having to do with Julian Assange. I’ve been seeing what’s happened with Assange and that will be a determination, I would imagine, mostly by the attorney general, who’s doing an excellent job. So, he’ll be making a determination. I know nothing really about him.”

Despite Trump decrying “Fake News” on a regular basis, his administration is prosecuting the only major outlet in the world who has never had to issue a retraction—because they’ve been 100% correct.

This is a hypocrisy which WikiLeaks themselves took to calling out recently.

“The only media outlet with a 100% verification record is the one your administration is prosecuting,” wrote WikiLeaks last month.

Despite never breaking the law, Julian Assange finds himself a political prisoner, holed up in a cage as this article is being written. As Caitlin Johnstone points out, Assange’s bogus “charge is premised on a fraudulent and manipulative distortion of reality, and you may be one hundred percent certain of it.”

You can be absolutely certain that this charge is bogus because it isn’t based on any new information. The facts of the case have not changed, the information hasn’t changed, only the narrative has changed. In 2010 the United States opened a secret grand jury in Virginia to investigate whether Assange and WikiLeaks could be prosecuted for the publication of the Manning leaks, and then-Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Obama administration was conducting “an active, ongoing criminal investigation’’ into the matter. The Trump administration has not turned up any new evidence that the Obama administration was unable to find in this active, ongoing criminal investigation (US government surveillance has surely acquired some new tricks since 2010, but time travel isn’t one of them), and indeed it does not claim to have turned up any new evidence.

What this move by the United States and the United Kingdom actually represents is a threat to those who dare to challenge the status quo and expose the corruption of the system. Even congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard sees this and was unafraid of calling it out on several national television outlets on Thursday.

“This is a threat to journalists,” Gabbard told blowhard Chris Matthews on MSNBC, “but it’s also something that threatens every American, because the message that we are getting, that the American people are getting is: Be quiet, toe the line, otherwise there will be consequences.”

Americans will do well to heed Assange’s advice and resist this move to persecute journalism. For if we let one honest journalist go down, we let them all go down.

First they came for WikiLeaks…. (1 image)

My guess is that Trump wants to get more evidence of obvious democRat collusion from Wikileaks during discovery.

The DOJ acts independently from Trump. The president doesn't get to tell them what to prosecute and let slide. Not unless the President's name is "Clinton".

After the Russia hoax, Trump isn't taking any chances getting involved with Wikileaks or Assange. He'll play CYA for the time being, at least.

Exactly how I see this. Julian Assange will survive this easily, as long as he is treated within the law. I don't see how they can do anything but interview him. Under what law can they require him to appear in the US in the first place? He is not an American, he is simply a journalist.

IF he were a Russian spy, why isn't he comfortably living there now? Someone answer that question.

THIS IS A TAG LINE...Exercising rights is only radical to two people, Tyrants and Slaves. Which are YOU? Our ignorance has driven us into slavery and we do not recognize it.
