Rather, where is the proof that he did?
The burden of proof is on the accuser.
- kickopotomus 7y agoThat is the entire purpose of a trial. The accuser brings forth evidence against the accused. Assange is under federal indictment meaning that a grand jury was presented evidence and decided that it was enough to file charges. However, the parent comment claims that Assange is innocent.
- atemerev 7y agoThe indictment formulation is “assisted with”. It is really vague; publishing results can be interpreted as assistance.
- kickopotomus 7y agoNo, it cannot be. Publishing, and only publishing classified documents is protected under the first amendment[1]. However, Assange helped Manning gain access to and procure the classified documents which is illegal.
