My take for @thedailybeast “With only modest tweaking, the very same theory could be invoked to prosecute journalists for the very same crimes being alleged against Assange, simply for doing their jobs of scrutinizing the government and reporting the news to the American people.” https://t.co/qXrou3Qyrp— Ted Boutrous (@BoutrousTed) May 24, 2019
If Pravda or RT has published the documents Wikileaks published and Assange is now charged with violating the Espionage Act over, would there still be a 1st Amendment issue?
Hard cases make bad law.
