Yes indeed, Frederick Theodore Rall, III. Terrible thing Biden did by getting us OUT of Afghanistan. You’re very tardy today, and this is the best you can come up with.
Assange is being charged with espionage and computer hacking, not sedition. As you pointed out, he is not an American citizen and so a sedition charge would be nonsense.
I find your lionization of Assange troubling. I believe in a free press, but I also realize that governments have a need for secrecy. It’s true that often secrecy is a cover for corruption or the unsavory things governments do, but there are legit reasons to keep things secret. How is it that he gets to decide what’s legitimate?
He also isn’t an equal opportunity leaker. I didn’t notice much dirt on the Russians, Chinese or Saudis. I suspect he realized that dishing too much on them could result in finding Novichok on his door knob. He also specifically targeted Sen Clinton to hurt her campaign I find it hard to believe that there wasn’t an equally damaging release on Trump’s campaign.
I don’t know if espionage is quite the right charge, but I’m not buying the First Amendment argument either. He’s no journalist.
Remember who signed the unilateral full withdrawal with no input from the Afghan government and no real promises from the Taliban, then unilaterally, and not part of any agreement, reduced the number of US Troops to an unsustainable level, stopped fully processing SIV visas for more than a year, and let the Taliban take over more than half the country before he left office.

Maybe we should let the Iranians have Trump?

Arrest Biden for crimes against humanity. I’m sure the Afghans will find a fair punishment.

John Adams brought to Law the Alien and Sedition Acts (1798). Though Assange is not charged with sedition,, he could be.

And what Afghan law did Biden actually break? The only one who has done that is the Mango Messiah.
