Assange is sort of my barometer for US politicians views on the 1st amendment. If they don't support a pardon, clemency, or an end to the harassing investigation into him then I know they are bereft of any moral compass and will happily shred the US constitution for campaign contributions.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoBoth a pardon and clemency imply that he committed crimes and the politician is just in favor of forgiving him for public support. This could still have damming repercussions for a free press, as his case could set precedent that publishing documents is illegal. The charges should be dropped.
- foxyv 5y agoYeah, definitely bonus points for an immunity from prosecution.
