WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been charged under seal<\/a> by the Trump administration. This has been revealed by a purportedly accidental copy-paste error in an unrelated court document which used Assange\u2019s name, interestingly not long after it was reporte<\/a>d to the Wall Street Journal that federal prosecutors \u201chave considered publicly indicting Mr. Assange to try to trigger his removal from the embassy because a detailed explanation of the evidence could give Ecuadorean authorities reason to turn Assange over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Insider sources have reportedly confirmed to the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that Assange has been charged. Because those charges are sealed, it\u2019s impossible to know what they are or how they\u2019re being justified. If you ask #Resistance Twitter, it\u2019s because it\u2019s #MuellerTime and Assange is about to be arrested under some mysterious charges involving WikiLeaks\u2019 publication of non-government, non-classified emails in 2016. If you ask QAnon cultists, it\u2019s because Donald Trump is planning to extradite Assange so as to rescue him and deal a fatal blow to the Deep State. If you ask people who actually know what they\u2019re talking about, however, it\u2019s most likely for WikiLeaks\u2019 Afghanistan and Iraq war logs and\/or last year\u2019s CIA leak publications, and most likely using the Espionage Act. This would constitute<\/a> a deadly blow to press freedoms, and arguably a greater leap in the direction of Orwellian dystopia than the Patriot Act.<\/p>\n

It also proves once again that Julian Assange was completely right.<\/p>\n
