Jillian Assange, for those who may have forgotten, is under active investigation for espionage by the US government. Yes, he is the founder, and CEO, of WikiLeaks, who published classified US government documents provided him by Chelsea Manning and Eric Snowden. In addition to these two, he can count President-elect Donald Trump, Sarah Palin and many conservative Republicans in Congress as his new best friends. Assange allegedly hacked both the Department of Defense and the US Navy, along with NSA and a virtual who's who of many major US corporations, including Boeing. Since Trump apparently listens to, and trusts, Assange, who began his career as a college educated computer programmer, it is not surprising that Trump does not trust the reports of the CIA, the FBI and likely NSA regarding Russia's alleged involvement in hacking computer systems that are tied to the US presidential election. After all, it is these 3 agencies, plus apparently others, that believe Assange is guilty of espionage. Trump quietly defends Assange, as the two use the same business manual when it comes to getting wealthy by throwing away the traditional approach of honesty and hard work. Your move Spy Lords.
