Also of note:

ASSANGE IS NOT A US CITIZEN.
He has no interest in maintaining the security of the US.

ASSANGE WAS NOT IN THE US WHEN HE STOLE OR PUBLISHED STOLEN MATERIALS. He was in an Ecuadorian closet.

If ...
IF the publisher was a US-owned publication, information obtained by a US journalist, selecting targeted documents, this would be a matter of concern.

THIS GUY WAS LITERALLY A FOREIGN AGENT.

Maybe for Russia. Maybe not. Just not acting with the interests of the US in mind...
But bulk publication of this information - for foreign governments to access, not providing targeted oversight - is a hostile act by a hostile foreign agent.

He is a foreign actor, and he is NOT a test case for the American free press.
Forgot to tag @chrislhayes in here, as his segment inspired this.

I'll drop it again here, ouroboros-style 🤓

And I'll add one more thing:

It would be wise for any publications that wish to address national security issues to ensure their outlet is FULLY owned and operated within the US/and editorial run by US persons, if they are interested in publishing classified materials. 😉
