    I guess I have to keep repeating that this case almost certainly pre-dates 2016. It’s amazing how many people aren’t interested in big-picture legal issues if the protagonist is someone they don’t like.https://twitter.com/BangingChains/status/1066071955055538176 …

    Wikileaks was working with a hostile foreign power to do harm to the US. It's not the same thing. Not even close, Matt.

        This is why Obama never acted on Assange and wikileaks. the ramifications of such a move are far reaching. Sigh.

        If you keep saying it, it doesn't make it true... the truth is you have no idea what the charges are...

        It doesn't make it true. It makes people believe that it's true, though. All part of the dumbing down process. Goebels would be proud of them.

        Have you done any reporting on when WikiLeaks began working with "a hostile foreign power?"

        We don't know what the charges are, nor what time period they apply to. Might be it's pre-2016, but we have no evidence for that at this time, just speculation.

        The only legal issue here is if a journalist can explain to a guy like Manning how to do a computer crime, talk him through getting away with it, and request the proceeds legally.

        Matt I have a question - what if the same people who lined Manafort's pockets pre 2016 were also individuals who helped finance Trump's businesses? Would there have to be some connecting tissue between those deals and the campaign for it to be relevant to the probe?

        Context, Matt: People have accepted the pointlessness of political debate in the US as a means to address actual substantive issues that it's assumed an almost religious importance as a signifier of social class.

        By questioning their side's narrative, you throw their whole personal identity into doubt. Very rude of you. Especially since I doubt that you expect the actual facts to resolve anything, either.
