Private Emails Reveal Ex-Clinton Aide’s Secret Spy Network

45. You are most welcome, peacebird!

Ms. Clinton has been targeted by the Right for a heck of a long time. The email thing may or may not be a reaction to their efforts to get political dirt, as well as find privileged information. That said, rather than dismantle the NSA America Spyathon, she got mad when it was mentioned.

In part two of our exclusive interview, Amy Goodman goes inside Ecuador’s Embassy in London to speak with Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. Assange has been living in the embassy for more than two years under political asylum. He faces investigations in both Sweden and the United States, where a secret grand jury is investigating WikiLeaks for its role in publishing a trove of leaked documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as well as State Department cables. Assange responds to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s recent comments that National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden should return home to face trial. "It’s the advice of all our lawyers that he should not return to the United States. He’d be extremely foolish to do so," Assange says. "It’s not possible to have a fair trial, because the U.S. government has a precedent of applying state secret privilege to prevent the defense from using material that is classified in their favor."

The Secret Government story hurts to read, but it's something democrats should know sooner rather than later. I'm done with the wars without end for profits without cease. No matter the cause, we need to take another path and that requires enlighed, open, Democratic leadership.
