Trump’s Attorneys Make Solid Case For Freeing Julian Assange in Legal Filing
President Donald Trump’s attorneys made a solid case for preemptively pardoning Julian Assange in a motion to dismiss a WikiLeaks-related lawsuit against the Trump campaign.
In defense of the Trump campaign, the 32-page filing by Michael A. Carvin argues that the publishing of the DNC leak passes both aspects of the Bartnicki First Amendment Test.
The first part of the case law is that a defendant may not be held liable for a disclosure of stolen information if it deals with “a matter of public concern.”
Addressing this portion, Carvin’s filing asserts that there can be “no serious doubt” that the disclosures from WikiLeaks satisfied the “newsworthy” and “public concern” portion of the test.
The motion argues that ‘”punishing truthful publication in the name of privacy’ is always an ‘extraordinary measure’ — doubly so when the publisher did nothing illegal in obtaining the information.”
The second portion of the test requires that the speaker (or publisher) was not “involved” in the theft. Given that WikiLeaks does not steal or hack the documents that are provided to them, and most rational people would agree that all of their leaks have been newsworthy, the Bartnicki First Amendment Test is not only satisfied by the Trump campaign — but also by Assange and his organization.
“They certainly make no effort to show that the Campaign was ‘involved’ in the initial theft of the DNC emails, in effect conceding that the Campaign satisfies the second part of the Bartnicki First Amendment test. The dispositive question is thus whether the disclosure in this case dealt with ‘newsworthy’ and ‘public’ issues. There can be no serious doubt that it did,” the filing reads.
“That ends the case: The disclosure satisfies the First Amendment test.”
Not only that, but this! 👇🏻
Along with Trump’s lawyers, the State Department also inadvertently presented a solid case for the US government’s eight year long grand jury proceedings against Assange to come to an end. 😮

US government on why it has decided to close its eight year long grand jury proceedings against @WikiLeaks (expanded in 2017 to cover our series on the CIA). Wait, what?

We support a freedom of the press. When a nation clamps down on social media, we ask the question — what are you afraid of? We support the people of #Iran, and we support their voices being heard.
This relates to pizzagate because Wikileaks is who leaked the emails that lead us to discovering how sick these freaks are.

Sinse when did the MSM admit they Assange was arrested? Can anybody cite an MSM source that had an article on his arrest?
srayzie ago
He was on the run because they were after him. Look it all up. You don’t have to believe.
DeathToMasonsASAP ago
I know he was on the run, but it sounded like their was a suggestion that he was arrested. My bad.
FE_Rebekah ago
Unfortunately, my suspicion is that he is dead already. After he went dark last year, nothing made sense after that on Twitter. WikiLeaks was sourcing HuffPo and WaPo. I just think a lot of our truthers are overtaken then subverted using technology. We thought we saw an interview of him, but there were anomalies in the video, and with SnapChat type technology, anyone could be anyone at any time.
It’s not that I disagree with Trump on this, I just think everything is worse than people realize..
DeathToMasonsASAP ago
Agree with everything you said. I personally feel that when they seized him from the Embassy. they flew him back to the states to be tortured to death. That is of course if he is not one of their assets. The entire thing doesn't add up really.
FE_Rebekah ago
I agree he coulda been CIA or whatever from the beginning. Kinda like Snowden. They could have fabricated the entire story just to get the masses to accept and shrug at the complete invasion of our privacy.
F’ing sucks around here. I’m not even so mad at the elite anymore. What frustrates me to no end is the amount of people who are complicit to it all.
spezSentMe ago
Yeah.. Obviously this will happen. I'm certain he's alive and well.
I'm also certain Bills kikewife held real rallies with thousands of real supporters cheering her on. Vegas was not by any means an inside job. There's absolutely no bullshit with voting. Carry the fuck on.
I'm 100% dead certain there's nothing to see anywhere, folks.
Happy new year!

Go back to bed America..

HELL. YES.

He may not get arrested but he has pissed off alot of people capable of murder, an Arkansas couple come to mind.

that's what i was thinking.

i am very excited about this :)

They could also argue that the DNC took no reasonable steps to protect said materials. Hence, they were not private by the lack of due diligence. If the DNC did not value them, why should anyone else?
heuristic ago
how likely is this to happen.. and if it does, he will be murdered.

Ya... for all the classified information he may be privy to, I’m sure there are 10 more special access programs for each black op that he’ll never even know exist. And of course, those are the ones that probably actually matter.
bopper ago
My thoughts too.
srayzie ago
That’s interesting!
bopper ago
It's stunning to think of the Executive power nowadays and to think that arewesure or anyone would think that HRC would not designate Assange a "terrorist" and then drone him is ridiculous. Everybody seeks the broadest interpretation of the rules (life ain't fair and it's tough) and one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. Sorry for the rant.
srayzie ago
You’re right Bopper. He has a need to feel powerful so he patrols Voat and tries to find anything he can to pick at. I’m used to it. He does it daily. He has no personality. It’s almost like he’s a bot.
DeathToMasonsASAP ago
Shills are paid for their work. It doesn't likley mean anything it post.
srayzie ago
Do you mean you think he’s a shill?

This is good news, very good
Lawyers dont go through all this trouble for a dead man
Hope to see Assange soon, he has some explaining to do :)

US government is well known for making promises they never keep.

Thank God for Trump.
AvariciousNose ago
Wow this is great news. Julians' struggle should be rewarded with more than freedom.
Vindicator ago
Giving this the "Share!" flair. Like Trump's tweets on Iran, this is the sign of a sea change -- the War on Whistleblowers is coming to an end. I think we can expect many great leaks in the future. This also implicitly recognizes Assange as a journalist/publisher, which is the reverse of what Obama, Clinton and their international globetard cronies have been pushing. Bye bye MSM!
DeathToMasonsASAP ago
As usual, you but in to promote any Trump vs the Deep State thread, while you guys delete threads on the Catholic church and CroWn murdering 1000's of children in Canada. You can be read with braille. The only thing this forum needs from you is your absence.
Sk8rminion ago
I think this is part of why anti-trumpers where leaking so much when trump first took office, he couldn't simultaneously stop the war vs whistle blowers, while also clamping down on people leaking partial politicized items without context to hurt the presidency.
dooob ago
JA and his family need to be protected so he can release more damning leaks. He has a ton of unleaked shit, deadman switch needs to be released.
srayzie ago
Yay!

WikiLeaks is one of the only reliable news sources left in this country - no wonder the federal government wants to eliminate Assange and silence or control WikiLeaks. Assange is a hero regardless of any criticism that may have become attached to him.
Are_we__sure ago
The US is not holding Assange
He is free to go at any time.
Also where's the evidence that Clinton asked about droning him? That's just as fake as the gold taken from Obama's compound in Thailand.

you faggot... who doesn't know that your side ( the Satanic Criminal Cabal ) is not flooding fake websites with bogus stories like the Obama/Thailand charade ?
Your days are numbered @arewesure

Hey man! Good to see you. How's 2018 treating you?

Your statement is so absurd that my curiosity lead me to your comment history.
Where I learned that if Denial was a nation state, the citizens would attempt to crown you as Emperor.
But you'd deny that position too, because you don't believe yourself to be a real person.
srayzie ago
Thanks for your 2 cents voat police. I didn’t submit a post about Obama’s compound or about Clinton droning him.
carmencita ago
Forgot who released that info. I remember it while still on Reddit. Am on cell. Hope someone can find it.
Are_we_sure ago
I know. I was combining replies. Just like I am now.
I remember the article. It was fake news source quoting an anonymous source There's no evidence she said this. US policy does not allow drones in a location where regular law enforcement could suffice. Assange has never been in danger of being droned by the US.

Yada Yada.......

Holidays were great but hectic. There is always something ready to blow on here. Happy New Year 🎊

Best place to check for news. I know the Voaters will always get the scoop first.

Hah. Hah. Yeah, my husband tells me things he saw on the news and I say Oh, I heard that yesterday on voat.

In The Comments: I never thought Assange was a criminal, but I did think he was set up...remember hillary seriously asking her people, "can't we just drone him"? Wow. I Remember That. She is Loaded With Testosterone.

She is a Pathological Narcissist - they can't see human beings as anything more than a cardboard cut-out.

Bingo. It’s all about them and any means justify their ends.
dooob ago
I bet everyone in her circle though she was crazy when she said that but I also bet it wouldv been much easier to cover it up.
carmencita ago
Ok. I found it but am on cell. Will post later

Can you elaborate, what did you find?
carmencita ago
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/wikileaks-cites-report-saying-clinton-mulled-killing-assange-with-drones/article/2603430 WikiLeaks tweeted a story Monday claiming Hillary Clinton asked in 2010 whether it would be possible to kill the group's founder, Julian Assange, using a drone strike.
carmencita ago
Washington Examiner article about it. Also includes Wikileaks statement on it.
dooob ago
Oh the droning comment? Yeah, Hildawg says crazy shit when she gets unhinged, Trump knew this, that's why he kept trolling her in debates.
carmencita ago
She looks like a Troll under a Bridge I hope 🤞 she is in Chains soon.
zeroinstinct ago
And yet none of you have a direct quote of her saying it.
carmencita ago
I am sure she did. We need to find it.

LionElTrump ago
Bob Beckel, Clinton loyalist: “I mean, a dead man can’t leak stuff,” Beckel chillingly noted of Assange. “The guy’s a traitor, a treasonist, and … and he has broken every law in the United States. The guy ought to be — and I’m not for the death penalty — so, if I’m not for the death penalty, there’s only one way to do it, illegally shoot the son of a bitch.”
carmencita ago
When will people realize that they can try to sue the pants off him but "he has broken every law in the United States" just does not cut it. He was not born here. End of Story. People never look into things. They just believe the Talking Heads of Their Beloved Parties. Yuck.
