To @POTUS and @TheJusticeDept: Stop the extradition of Assange. I am as indictable as he is on the exact same charges. I will plead "not guilty" on grounds of your blatantly unconstitutional use of the Espionage Act. Let's take this to the Supreme Court.

Assange broke the rules and compromised human intelligence assets. Let him serve his day in court and debate the facts for the record.

Related point: If anyone reading this ever serves on a criminal jury, and you find the case morally objectionable, you have the power to not convict. Even if the “offenses” were committed. It’s called “jury nullification,” and the gov won’t tell you about it. But you can do it.

The government won't worry about that because they will have a rigged jury.
