2/ These governmental crimes include illegal, warrantless surveillance, conspiracy to "totally incapacitate me" and--in the words of my judge--"bizarre events" that "offend a sense of justice." All of these apply exactly to the just-revealed crimes against Assange.

You never coaxed and directed a government employee to hack a secure database. You also didn't steal a bunch of cybertools from the CIA. You also never solicited hacked data from the GRU and never pretended a guiltless man (Seth Rich) was the actual source of the data.
