I highly doubt it's something we expect. Plenty of media outlets passed information along similarly to Wikileaks. Any charges limited to actions we know publicly are going to be a disaster on so many levels, and everyone involved knows it. It would be monumentally stupid to pursue charges based only on what we know publicly. The NYT story makes this clear.
I suggest withholding judgement until we see the actual indictment. The other indictments that are (possibly) related that have been made public have provided a lot of detail and evidence.
- bayesian_horse 8y agoTotally agree. Though open source intelligence suggests that Assange did launder information he received from Russian intelligence services. He played a key role in the chain of them influencing the presidential election. To me this is not a case of clearly being a crime or clearly not being one. Room for further investigation and a trial.
