  • I think the opposite is true, the Obama administration had a much more relaxed attitude to whistleblowers than the current administration. There are many influential people in the US who would love to see Assange put on trial for US military material WikiLeaks published. Trump has shown repeatedly that he is loyal to no one and would happily throw Assange under the bus.

    I hope he gets extradited to Sweden first though, given the very serious nature of the crimes he’s been charged with there.

  • I think you’re right, I’d not seen that before. I was thinking more of his pardon for Chelsea Manning, but that’s a token gesture when you look at that article.
