So that there was that sense of, oh my god. So they, they, they knew all along and they, they must have seen the stuff a military investigation. So youre the pilots involved in the attack.

We estimate that when fully analyzed, these lots will bring to the Public Knowledge more than 15000. 00 of the previous be comm records for the incense. The disclosure provides a trove of new evidence and the violence, torture, and suffering. Thats the fall in iraq. Since the 2003 us invasion, dear to the 1st time, was official doctors diplomats no links for me, but these things are happening that are happening in a huge scale. So this particular set of documents is the most extraordinary compendium of war that is ever being released. It was astonishing. I mean that no one had ever ever seen that amount of material on that nature of material and that quantity before this, this was an immensely complicated publishing task. Ellen westbridge, or was the editor in chief of the guardian at the time. It was one of several major news organizations that we keep leaks partner with to publish hundreds of thousands of classified materials between 2012011. They were uploaded to wiki leaks is website by a non, im a source and invalid. What you mean and we spend weeks reading the material and saying, well, this is significant, this has Public Interest. This shows a pokers hill deception, though there was certainly evidence of the American Ministry behaving in, in a violent, murderous, sometimes way and, and deceiving the American People about the leaks exposed to us. Government was turning a blind, died of torture, rape, and murder by rocky authorities. And how is Strong Campaign in afghanistan lead to an increase in civilian deaths.

The sentence that she received was this the fortunate relative to what other lakers had received at the time, the department of justice decided not to pursue charges against a search. They gave 2 reasons. One was julia sanchez, a publisher is not a hacker, and there is no way to go after wishing weeks. It would not set a precedent against the rest of the press. That position changed when the administration did 2017 was when things got shakespearean. There had been this growing tension and this real deep fear and concern about what to do about what can leaks the Trump Administration. Wanted to use this case, not just as an opportunity to go after assigned, but as an opportunity to go after National Security journalism. Much of a son just story in the us, his case against them is based here in the United Kingdom. Its where he spent much of his time under threat of prosecution by the us.

He sawdust islands. Here at the Ecuadorian Embassy in london, where he remained confined to a small flat for nearly 7 years.

B, i has even gone to wales in the United Kingdom to visit very various people. Julian assault as the founder of wikileaks, has been arrested in london. Cassandra was tracked down to the embassy and arrested by British Police on the us extradition request in 2000.

All for activities that National Security journalist engage and every day sourcing government secrets, communicating with sources, confidentially, maintaining the confidentiality of the sources, identity and then publishing classified information and it concerns publications about the rock world. The afternoon war diaries, the Us State Department cables, the one time on fe detainees assessment brace and the rules of engagement which were part of the collateral murder of publication. 17 of the 18 charges that construing this knowledge fall under the espionage act is the 1st time the act has been used against a publisher. To hear the phrase as good as i cant say. Well, this is about spies. This is about, you know, people who want to harm american National Security, but the act is about in practice is whistle blowers. The timing of a, someone just indictment matters. And to understand why you have to go back to his time at the Ecuadorian Embassy in london, particularly after ecuador elected a president who was less sympathetic towards assigned. And wanted to strengthen ties with the us. An embassy, if, if theyre not backing you is a black hole, it has all the, the, the legal carve outs, you wouldnt need to just disappear a person. Second half of 2017 onwards. It was clear that that was not a safe place for joe in like you could feel it in the air. I feared for his life at the time to see a was allegedly spying on a search, including privilege conversations with his attorneys and positions c. I, a officials were reportedly concerned that he would go to russia. As a whistle blower, Edward Snowden had done a specialist, a wiki, likes release volt 7 series, which detailed out the ca was hacking into devices to conduct electronic surveillance to a 2nd, a popular pen for the agency. They have seen other agencies have leaks and they thought this never happened to us. So the fact that all of a sudden, you know, this was being late there are we can weeks website cause is director mike pompei o to become according to our sources. Absolutely. I rate its time to call out where he likes for what it really is. A non State Hospital intelligence service. When pompei o took over, like he would tell people within c i a here, i want you to draw things that you could do against wiki leaks. Dont worry about the legality. Give me the art of the possible. Ill worry about the lawyers exact work that worked on a year long investigation for yahoo news, which exposed at the c i a was doing more than spying on a search. They were also literally having high level discussions with the white house about assessment accounting.

If they try to take him, what are we going to do . You know, do we ran into a car thats carrying him a russian diplomatic vehicle . What if theres like a gun battle . Whos going to the shooting is going to be honest, is going to be the brits. What if you tried to take off by planes to shoot the tires on the, on the plane out . And thats the stuff that really worried folks because they were advocated for by the c. I director himself in an interview with making kelly biggs, mike pump pale, was asked about this investigation such a novel. He admitted that theres pieces of it that are true. Like, i cant say much about this other than whoever, those 30 people who allegedly spoke with one of these reporters. And they should all be prosecuted for speaking about classified activity inside the Central Intelligence agency. Maybe the, you know, pump, peo, calling for the prosecution of our sources meant that our story was true because you cannot be prosecuted for something that isnt true. Nonetheless, having the former c, i direct himself come out and essentially confirm it is, is a big deal. Mike pump hale went rogue, he went wrong in relation to joe and he went rogue in relation to wishing weeks. And there were a lot of people disagreed with that. But these Trump Administration layers that was lucky. It may be a legal period for you to do this for you do render a song and bring him back to the us. But its definitely a vehicle for you to do this if there arent charges against him. So there were charges that were basically rushed.

Just extradited to the us under the espionage at julia. So lunch bases, a 175 year sentence, 170 years are just for receiving and publishing classified information.

It goes straight to jail. It makes a spelling of anybody who discusses classified inform
