The Guardian’s Latest Assange Smear Backfires
Reporter, plagiarist and preeminent British Russiagate nut Luke Harding on Tuesday took to the Guardian with a story reporting that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with Julian Assange three times in London before the 2016 presidential election. The latest smear attempt comes at a precarious time for Assange, who has maintained asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012. In mid-November an inadvertent court disclosure revealed the existence of a sealed indictment targeting Assange and apparent preparations to extradite him to the United States for criminal...

In just over one year, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia has generated five guilty pleas, 20 indictments, and more than 100 charges. None of these have anything to do with Mueller’s chief focus: the Russian government’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign’s suspected involvement. While it’s certainly possible that Mueller will make new indictments that go to the core of his case, what’s been revealed so far does not make a compelling brief for collusion. The most high-level Trump campaign official to be indicted is...
NPR Pretends FISA Court Is Not a Rubber Stamp
On Tuesday's episode of Up First (9/19/2017), NPR briefly reported on the news that Paul Manafort, President Trump's sometime campaign manager, had been subject to wiretapping, both during the campaign and after the election. This is a big news story and NPR was certainly right to cover it. The problem lies in the way they covered it--with a predictable, but completely unjustified deference to the national security state. Let's take a quick look at what they said so you can see for yourself. The exchange begins right after a guest journalist explained, correctly, that the new report on...
