Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 10
16 September 2020 — Craig Murray
The gloves were off on Tuesday as the US Government explicitly argued that all journalists are liable to prosecution under the Espionage Act (1917) for publishing classified information, citing the Rosen case.

The US Government even surmised in court that such an Espionage Act prosecution of the New York Times may have been successful.

I hope to prove that to you by a straightforward exposition of what happened today in court, after which I shall add further comment.
