Trump's war on the free press--his "Enemy of the People"--escalated to a new and dangerous height yesterday, unveiling the first indictment in our history of a publisher: for the crime of committing unauthorized journalism.
“It’s a very serious assault on the First Amendment. A clear attempt to rescind the freedom of the press” - @DanielEllsberg speaking w/ @SharminiPeries #FreeJulian #Assange therealnews.com/stories/dani…

2. I realize ethics are old fashioned but I was also attending on my GI Bill which I earned working in Army Signals Intelligence, also requiring firm adherence to an ETHICS CODE.I realize Ethics are old fashioned nonsense in our new era but still... #mtpol

Glad to hear you support Julian. Where are Woodward, Burnstein and the rest of the Watergate guys.

It was like this under Obama tho. I don't think trump created the media swamp. He should definitely stand up for Assange tho if he was ever serious about draining the swamp. We can see who's been bad and exposed by Assange, by who stands up for him. There aren't many good ones.

@DanielEllsberg you should give @RudyGiuliani a call ☎️.He often invokes your Pentagon Papers disclosures as a legal defense of #WikiLeaks. For God’s sake man, get on the horn and ask the president’s lawyer to call the dogs off #Assange! Better yet, a full presidential pardon!

Mr Ellsberg -- anyone at the IRS who has the courage YOU HAD to 'leak' the Pentagon papers? Just saying ... It wouldn't technically be ILLEGAL since Congress has ordered them released anyway ... all the American people need is one person to cut through the stalling & DO IT
