That's partly true but not the whole story. The CIA has it in for him -- they developed plans during the Trump administration (Mike Pompeo -- the authoritarian shitheel) to kidnap or assassinate Assange while he was in the Ecuadorean embassy. Not only the early wikileaks release of the collateral murder and other documents showing the war crimes of the US empire, but they also published the Vault 7 CIA document leak which was the largest leak in CIA history. They want blood and it looks like they'll get it.

I think if you take away the 2016 DNC thumbdrive, the US would not be going after him like they are. The earlier Iraq war leak is inconsequential.

Yeah, i think the thumbdrive getting the US to go after him was a more likely effect than greatly helping Trump to get elected. The Podesta emails too - Podesta and Tanden looked like the trash that they are.

Something i've been wondering about lately - is any indie journalist keeping tabs on how Podesta is spending that $370 B in green energy grants? Sounds like that's up Fang's alley.

All subsidies and grant programs will have some form of publicly visible scorekeeping system, where the disbursements are published on an ongoing basis. Find the link to the scoreboard, and then follow the dots.

The FBI/CIA also had plans to assassinate the leaders of Occupy Wall Street in several cities, including Seattle,Oakland, Austin, Philadelphia and NYC.

So, the FBI/CIA have been a crimianl enterprisefor a long time.,
