Leaker Plugged!

Hacker is likely heading to the U.S. for criminal charges.

Julian Assange is now formally indicted by the U.S. government for leaking government secrets.

Unsealed was criminal charges that could put Assange in federal time out for up to 180 years.

His cohort is currently in federal time out. She refuses to testify in a federal court on how she was manipulated into leaking classified information. Chelsea Manning is being held on contempt charges and is being held for up to 18 months for disobeying a federal judge. Every time she is released, the federal courts brings more charges upon her.

The transgender woman who leaked out information as an U.S. Army private did it without any remorse. She handed Wikileaks information about American forces doing deadly attacks on innocent civilians and it forced the U.S. government to bring charges.

The feds are threatening lengthy fines and punishment if Manning continues to not cooperate.

Assange was previously charged with working to hack a Pentagon computer system, in a secret indictment that was unveiled soon after he was thrown out of the Ecuador embassy in London.

Assange claims that he was doing this under journalism. The United States said that what he did was cyber terrorism and he voided his responsibilities as a journalist. This indictment also ensures that he will be sent to the United States to face a federal judge.

Manning also will face charges as well. When Manning was convicted of giving state secrets to Wikileaks, the military court ordered her a lengthy bid in the brig. Then known as Bradley Manning, the former Army officer came out as transgender and threatened suicide if she wasn't given hormone treatment. After serving few years in the federal time out, Barack Obama commuted her sentence.

Since the release, Manning became more of a problem than a solution. By refusing to cooperate with the federal government in regards to Julian Assange, she now faces more in federal time out.

Assange is still trying to fight extradition to the United States.

Wikileaks play a crucial role in electing Donald J. Trump against Hillary Clinton.

During the 2016 U.S. Democratic Party presidential primaries, WikiLeaks hosted emails sent or received by candidate Hillary Clinton from her private email server when she was Secretary of State.

The U.S. Intelligence Community, as well as a Special Counsel investigation, concluded that the Russian government carried out a hacking campaign as part of broader efforts of interference in the 2016 United States elections.

In 2018, twelve Russian intelligence officers, mostly affiliated with the GRU, were indicted on criminal charges by Special Counsel Robert Mueller; the indictment charges the Russians with carrying out the computer hacking and working with WikiLeaks and other organisations to spread the stolen documents.

Assange consistently denied any connection to or co-operation with Russia in relation to the leaks, and accused the Clinton campaign of stoking "a neo-McCarthy hysteria"

In April, Assange's asylum was withdrawn following a series of disputes with the Ecuadorian authorities. The police were invited into the embassy, and he was arrested.

Later that day he was found guilty of breaching the Bail Act and in May he was sentenced to 50 weeks in prison in the United Kingdom. On the same day, the United States government unsealed an indictment against Assange for alleged computer intrusion, related to the leaks provided by Chelsea Manning. The United States government further charged Assange with violating the Espionage Act of 1917. As a result of the revocation of his asylum, and at the request of his alleged rape victim's lawyer, Swedish prosecutors reopened their investigation in May 2019.

Assange is incarcerated in HM Prison Belmarsh.
