Julian Assange. They have broken all the rules, page-8

its absolutely imperative for "pompeo"...the establishment to punish Assange to the maximum possible degree.....as a deterrent to others who would contemplate a similar act.

This was extremely damaging to the US establishment and its allies......

tightening of security protocols, clearance status....to prevent future acts is important as is sending a strong unequivocal message that such acts will be punished to the highest degree.

i cant see how US will roll over on Assange....
would look extremely weak and encourage others to sell state secrets.

and i say this as someone who despises the US establishment.
