Well this is some BULLSHIT!
Was about to downvote, then saw your username, phew.
It's funny, I just got used to the idea that the CIA is not beholden to any laws.
Well, not really funny but ya know...
It's because they operate in secrecy.
Church comitte handed them a new asshole. They can't get away with nearly as much now as they did in the 60s
You'd hope so, but it's like every decade we have an article going "wow, look at all the fucked up shit the CIA was doing 20 years ago, isn't it great they stopped?
Oh, they didn't stop being bad. And what they do today is terrible.
But its less bad than what they did in thr 60s. That shit was batshit insane.
I mean -- this is just a ruling. They still haven't done anything yet. I'm not holding my breath.
strange funny, not haha funny..,
Whoever Assange's lawyer is has the biggest balls I've seen in a while. Holy crap.
This is a case brought by 4 US citizens against the CIA. They are attorneys Margaret Ratner Kunstler and Deborah Hrbek, and journalists John Goetz and Charles Glass. They all visited Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in the relevant time period ~2017 and claim their 4th amendment rights have been violated. I can't wait to see this trial unfold! The evidence that will come out of this could well mean the end of the DOJ's pursuit of Assange.
If so, finally. It's terrifying that the US government has this much power tbh
(Please Europe unify together when it comes to armies and reconnaissance) - signed concerned american we really after fumbling with the “football” no one wants dropped beside a select few sects
They will lie, deny, stonewall, and there will be no repercussions nor change.
