WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange charged with 17 new criminal counts, including violating Espionage Act
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/23/wik...ange-charged-with-17-new-criminal-counts.html


Important background info:
UK pledges it won't send Assange to country with death penalty: Ecuador

So, why, you ask, would the Trump administration "up the ante", forcing the UK to refuse to extradite?
The world wonders...but I have my suspicions...

Trump Gives Attorney General Sweeping Power in Review of 2016 Campaign Inquiry

"...granted Mr. Barr the authority to unilaterally declassify their documents."

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/23/us/politics/trump-barr-intelligence.html

So, is this the mechanism US intelligence services can use to feed Barr specific information and watch it go to the Russians in real time? I hope not too many sources get "liquidated" in the process...
