Assange is a publisher.

Same as Maggie at NYT.

They publish what people provide them.

Assange didn't take the documents from their source agency.

An employee did.

Then the employee transferred the documents to Assange, and Assange published them.

If Assange is prosecuted, then all of the 'reporters' that published Comey's leaks or any of the other leaks will have to be prosecuted also.

So, Assange requested Snowden and others to steal the documents?

>>6152928

Semantics.

Neither of them 'create the news'.

They both report on what they are provided.

It's not 'stealing' if an employee of the agency in question hands over the documents to WikiLeaks.

>>6153087

Nope.

Because you stole them.

You would be prosecuted for that.

>>6153153

So is your mom.

But anyway, how has Wiki 'stolen' documents?

Manning stole them.

Assange didn't.
