  • Lawyers and journalists sued the CIA and former CIA Director Mike Pompeo Monday for spying on them while they met Julian Assange when he was living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he had political asylum. The lawsuit is being filed as Britain prepares to extradite the WikiLeaks founder to the United States, where he faces up to 175 years in prison for violating the Espionage Act by publishing classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. We speak with the lead attorney in the case, Richard Roth, who details how a private security company stationed at the London Embassy unknowingly sent images from Assange's visitors' cellphones and laptops as well as streamed video from inside meetings to American intelligence. He says the offenses breach a range of client privileges and could sway a U.S. judge to dismiss the case if Assange is successfully extradited.

      They're both agents of Russia. I think the US should rightfully spy on Assange to protect the national security of the US and Western Europe. But I'm talking to myself now because half of the people responding here think Ukraine provoked Russia into attacking them and that Soviets should have won the Cold War.

      People who accused China having been a communist country saying its citizens have been subjected to inhuman treatment no freedom yet they failed to see how Assange has been treated by the American government. See how US politicians wanted Taiwan to be a democratic country how they wanted to keep it away from China's unification plans but what they are doing to Assange is no different from a communist style of trying to suppress freedom of speech and information. What Assange did the whole world need to know what the US had been doing to countries that will not follow what US wanted them to do. It looks like the US is under a dictatorship in the guise of democracy as evident in what the FBI did to former President Trump. In my own opinion I don't think the FBI will do it without the knowledge of President Biden.
