The Watch I Did It For You OnlineU.S. government is going after Julian Assange. Again.
The Wikileaks founder and current resident of a London jail cell was charged Thursday under the 102-year-old Espionage Act, with 18 separate counts carrying a possible 170 prison sentence if he's found guilty. So reports the Washington Post, which notes that federal prosecutors accuse the publisher of encouraging sources to steal classified information.
“Assange, WikiLeaks affiliates and Manning shared the common objective to subvert lawful restrictions on classified information and to publicly disseminate it,” the New York Timesreports the indictment as reading.
According to the indictment, Assange is charged with conspiracy to receive national defense information, obtaining national defense information, disclosure of national defense information, and conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.

Legal scholars have expressed concern that going after a publisher of classified documents in this way represents a First Amendment threat to all journalists.
"Any prosecution by the United States of Mr. Assange for Wikileaks’ publishing operations would be unprecedented and unconstitutional, and would open the door to criminal investigations of other news organizations," the ACLU's Ben Wizner said in an April statement following Assange's arrest.

That, like so many things under the Trump administration, just changed.
