If you suddenly come out and reveal that the U.S. government likes to spy on its citizens via their television sets and cars, that should make you a hero of the American people, shouldn’t it?
Well, according to the Justice Department, that makes you a criminal. Or at least that’s the word from CBS in this report claiming that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can expect an arrest warrant from our government in the upcoming weeks or months.
As many people are aware, WikiLeaks actually has been responsible for revealing much valuable information, including the shenanigans engaged in by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton — info that may have gotten Clinton campaign staffer Seth Rich killed last July.
In fact, it’s safe to say that without WikiLeaks, we might have Hillary Clinton in the White House now instead of President Trump. Even Trump stated that he “loved” what the whistleblower organization was doing as recently as October of 2016.
But in the last week, Director of the CIA Mike Pompeo has called WikiLeaks a “hostile intelligence service,” in direct contravention of previous comments he’d made about the group. Pompeo additionally threatened to seek Assange’s arrest, even though Assange stated the documents his organization put online about CIA spying on Americans were already being passed around by hackers prior to WikiLeaks’ publishing them.
Watch as CBS Jeff Pegues explains the crux of this important story.
