And Aaron, this story began in 2012 when hacker collective ANONYMOUS leaked video of Jihadists testing Sarin on rabbits. Since removed by Youtube, I published it right here. You were 5 years late to this story.
This thread discusses what the government’s case is. It centers on allegedly trying to help Manning crack a password.
This avalanche of WAR PROPAGANDA is leading us toward Armageddon. Outrageous falsehoods with no repercussions, no accountability, and they keep coming…
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“In late October PEN America filed suit against President Donald Trump arguing that his threats and use of the machinery of government to exact reprisals against journalists and media organizations violate the First Amendment. We specifically cited his threats to withdraw press credentials from reporters based on critical questions and stories as a prime example of this behavior. Regrettably, last night yet again the White House demonstrated precisely the pattern our lawsuit documents. The White House’s withdrawal of the press credentials of CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta was in clear retaliation for Acosta’s persistent questioning of the President on topics he did not wish to address during a press conference yesterday afternoon. The rescission of Acosta’s credentials, accompanied by a demonstrably false account by White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders of the actions that led to the withdrawal, are yet more evidence that the President and the administration feel no compunction about exacting punishment on journalists for hard-hitting coverage. The First Amendment protects our press from having to operate under the cloud of such intimidation and threatened reprisal. Our lawsuit is an effort to affirm that fundamental principle, and ensure that no one—not even the President of the United States—is given free rein to violate the Constitution.”
