    Guilty so he can never legally reenter America ever again is my best guess. He should of told them to stuff it, but they'd think nothing of wrecking his life for another decade or two if he did, so I don't blame him for taking the plea, which is no plea at all. Doesn't pay to be a whistleblower in America what so ever IMO.

    What was uncovered by Asange is more important then the US claim of espionage.

    He is guilty of showing the world war crimes by the USA and is being punished for doing the right thing.😢

    Yehip. If i recall, assange was whistle blowing protection. On matters of people breaking into computers its known as maxmalillian and carlotta matter. So basically they had matters of a victim and the transfered the next day after getting out of hospice, however they were in the military on matters of warporfterring, pepple stealing from them. They have location privledge but its space when the mp's say dont go in there as its a safety matter for you. The mp's not being able to get control of matter. So what does a girl like me do. Obviously want to see. It shocked me what was ongoing. This is not our get loaded in the tent and play fight each other to near death. This is very different. No respect for the proper missions is what is discussed.

      Chelsea is a British soldier so I'm not sure the location and computer or intel matter. I'm guessing the guy treid to get the gibralter mission back on track.
