Assnage Indictment: WikiLeaks Founder Charged in Computer Hacking Conspiracy

According to court documents unsealed today, the charge relates to Assange’s alleged role in one of the largest compromises of classified information in the history of the US

justice.gov/usao-edva/pres…
The indictment alleges in March 2010, Assange engaged in a conspiracy with Chelsea Manning, to assist Manning in cracking a password stored on US Department of Defense computers connected to the Secret Internet Protocol Network (SIPRNet)

Assange is charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion

Manning and Assange engaged in real-time discussions regarding Manning’s transmission of classified records & Assange actively encouraging Manning to provide more information.

justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/w…
A key nuance in discussion about Assange charge is difference between trying to help source obtain/steal classified data vs helping source transmit classified data. Charge describes Assange helping Manning try to crack password on DoD computers & separately helping transmit data

💥Seems fitting #Russia’s #propaganda media RT gets the creepy video scoop of #WikiLeaks founder Julian #Assange's arrest in London after Ecuador withdrew his asylum. Police forcibly removed the bearded man from the Embassy building he’s been in since 2012
💥UPDATE: #Wikileaks founder Julian #Assange “has been further arrested in relation to an extradition warrant on behalf of the United States authorities. He remains in custody at a central London police station.” via @metpoliceuk news.met.police.uk/news/update-ar…
#Russia calls #Wikileaks’ #Assange “the throat of freedom.” @jimsciutto notes he’s wanted by 3 govts & he’s a central witness to Russian interference in US election. 🤔Q: How is Mueller investigation over if a central witness is just being extradited to US?

Though this is a complex & ongoing #investigation, it’s clear the DNC has not been open & transparent—for what reason we don’t yet know. This is a poignant example of why we need new laws to open up the finances of our elected representatives.

(THREAD) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Mike Flynn will plead guilty to Making False Statements at 10:30 AM EST today (Friday). This is the biggest development in the Russia probe so far. This thread explains what it all means, and will be updated throughout the day. Please read and share.
1/ First, it's important to understand that Mueller has entered into a plea deal with Flynn in which Flynn pleads guilty to far less than the available evidence suggests he could be charged with. This indicates that he has cut a deal with Mueller to cooperate in the Russia probe.
2/ We've already seen Mueller do this once before in the probe, with George Papadopoulos—who was charged with the same crime as Flynn, Making False Statements, to secure his cooperation with the Russia probe. The Papadopoulos plea affidavit emphasized facts were being left out.
