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.

While much attention has been focused on Trump’s access to the nuclear launch codes and the President’s Daily Brief—the classified intelligence report delivered inside a locked briefcase each morning to the Oval Office—those represent only a tiny sliver of the massive top-secret universe that Trump personally will suddenly be privy to. He will have the ability to see inside the most sensitive and covert programs run by the United States and its allies around the world; he will have access to surveillance tools, covert payrolls and personal secrets about foreign leaders. He will know about blacked-out special forces raids and UFO-like spy planes, the next-generation cyberattacks that would come in the opening minutes of a new war, and the dozens of secret classified procedures and laws written down by his presidential predecessors.

One of the relatively new powers of the presidency is the ability to sign off on strikes from Predator and Reaper drones run by the CIA and the Pentagon. While political assassination is forbidden by Executive Order 12333, Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush have enjoyed wide latitude in designating suspected terrorists for lethal strikes in areas like Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq and Afghanistan. The exact process for such “kinetic” attacks, never publicly revealed in depth and not beholden to any judicial oversight, will be explained carefully to the new president. We’ll never know who exactly will be named to the new administration’s “kill list,” and we may never know what happens to them. But Trump will: After such attacks, the president and vice president are also among the select group of government officials who can, if they choose, watch the high-tech videos of the drone strikes themselves. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney regularly watched such “kill videos” during their morning intelligence briefings. As president, Trump will also have sway over the opaque process itself, so he could well tweak or expand the lethal authorities of the commander in chief without any public disclosure that the rules have changed.

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.

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.
