United States Looking For Charges To Throw At Wikileaks’ Assange

Tweet

As the Wikileaks saga continues on apparently without end, the United States Government is looking for new ways to bring their leader to justice for his role in leaking classified documents. These documents have embarrassed the high command of the Obama administration and several members of Congress have called for some sort of reaction.

The latest reaction is for the Justice Department to find any way to bring Assange to jail in the United States. Sweden is already trying to jail him for consensual sex, but it appears that at least on British court has attached the required amount of cynicism when looking at just how heinous a crime that actually is.

The newest charge the administration is trying on for size is conspiracy. The Justice Department is trying to make the case that Assange conspired with the man who actually leaked the documents to Wikileaks. Of course in order to prove conspiracy, there has to be evidence that two or more parties actually conspired to do something, an act the US has not been able to prove yet.
