WikiLeaks reminds Trump of the time he said 'I love WikiLeaks'.

Whistle-blowing should be a requirement of the job.

They all swear in to protect the constitution, foreign and domestic.

Then set about ignoring it. They would never be allowed in if they weren't amoral in the first place.

No. Saying one thing and then completely doing the opposite is flip flopping. Which is what trump is doing in this situation

What did he flip flop on here...lol Trump loves the fact that the DNC is corrupt, he loved the fact that there was really credible damning information, he really loved the fact that the Left was so damn stupid over and over...lol I don't think he actually cares about Wikileaks, nor was his speech about his love for Wikileaks....

That's not what they did though. They just released embarrassing personal stuff no crimes or anything even coming close.
See this is the big problem. People actually thought there were crimes in those emails or something bad and that was a direct result of the Russian intervention. People thought with all that was getting released there must be something wrong in there. But there wasn't .
Can you name one crime that was exposed ?

Apparently what was contained in the emails cost the queen her throne and it took no Russian intervention(which we continue to wait for proof) at all.

Wikileaks is partially responsible for the world we live in today.

Trump is probably under political pressure to go after Assange, most politicians probably don't like the guy.

I have never liked wiki leaks. I am think if some body classifies something we should wait for the 30 (?)years to pass.

I am also believe that keeping a key under the mat is high security.

If 30 year old info is still worth an up roar great. If not great.

No, he is changing his opinion because HIS classified activities as president can now be wiki leaked. As a lot of us feel he is scamming the American public we only need a little proof.

Heck we have ample examples of abuse of position, just nothing yet that approaches Bill Clinton's antics.

I am agree.

As noted in the Constitution this also the role of the press.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States

It should never be a crime to expose crimes by government ie public servants and unelected bureaucrats.

Crime?

Whistle-blowing should be a requirement of the job.

Uh yes it should still be a crime IF they got it by Illicit means by ASKING people in posistions actively to do so. If Wikileaks would NOT HAS COERCED and had just been the receiver that would be a different story.

Also a true whistleblower is ready to face the consequences as well and THAT is what makes them respected.

Actually Wikileaks dont even need to try because the Obama hold overs are doing that already and for free.

Democrats loved WikiLeaks when they were releasing information on Bush too. Assange was their hero. Then when they found out that Assange wasn't going to cater to Obama, they changed their tune. Here's the bottom line, our government doesn't like whistleblowers unless they favor it.

It's political partisan bull#. Same ol', same ol'. WikiLeaks isn't partisan. It reveals the corruption of the right-left paradigm. So, naturally they're going to be demonized.

Seems Pompeo has been sipping on the CIA swamp water.....

OF all the FED GOV'T agencies, who employ the whistleblower program...

CIA is the worst....

You want transparency... you won't get it with that program... which is why Wikileaks has done the American citizen a GREAT service....

We now know... Stay engaged.. don't let the media focus on WL....

How about focusing on the VAULT... and the exposure of what the CIA is doing on our taxpayer dime....

Neo reminds Trump haters when they also loved Wikileaks.

Manning was a Hero!

It's possible to like an organization without agreeing with everything they do. The Manning is a hero, Snowden too.

I'm not a fan of what they did with the Hillary/DNC info, but at the same time... the people have a right to know, and it's better to release it before an election than after.

There's a pretty simple defense against WIkileaks and groups like them... remain on the up and up and they won't have anything on you to leak.

Unfortunately. Perception is everything. The Russians were responsible. Even Herr drumpft says so.
