If the New york times or new York post receive documents and they publish ones and not others with a partisan motive they're still not criminals.

So this is a typical bullshit thing for democrat-party aligned people for whom the ends justifies the means and there's no bad tactics, only bad targets. The very same types that tell you "twitter files are partisan nothing burgers" and that people like Matt Taibbi are "right wingers".

I don't care what the FBI tries to pull to muddy the waters. Or the government toppling CIA, for that matter.

Assange has been pursued and illegally imprisoned for exposing corruption and doing journalism, nothing more.
