Replying to myself because the two replies apparently missed the distinction between the entity doing the "coercion" (Assange/CIA) and the entity doing the spying (the agent, or Manning in this case). Nobody prosecutes the CIA/GRU/PRC for coercing others to spy.
- giantrobot 5y ago> Nobody prosecutes the CIA/GRU/PRC for coercing others to spy. Except for expulsion of diplomats, arrests of agents, sanctions against government officials, indictments for officials and agents, and of course war. Besides all of those things that happen all the time nobody prosecutes spy agencies. eyeroll Assange is a self-styled spymaster that's not actually very good at the job. Spies that go around advertising their spying and bragging about conspiracies of which they are a part are not good spies.
