For a few years, I've been mystified about how  any American authority could 
prosecute Julian Assange, and certainly not for his actions in regard to the 
2016 elections.  It is generally figured by the MSM that Assange accepted 
various emails and published them, but it isn't clear that those emails (or, 
anyway, most of those emails) came from Russian sources.  And there is already 
a precendent ("Pentagon Papers") that there can be no prior restraint for such 
publication, even if the publisher knew that the information was illegally 
taken from a government source.  
And, due to 'discovery' rules, the American government would have to reveal a 
great deal about what they knew, and how they knew it.  Just about all 
downside, very little upside.
