Anyone want to give me an explain like I’m five about what Julian Assange did?

Published documents from the Iraq and Afghanistan war that outed Iraqis and Afghanis who were helping the US.
Received dirt on the American Democrat party from the Russians and released it during the election to help Trump.
Raped a woman and hid in the Ecuador embassy until the statute of limitations ran out.

He said he received stuff on the Republicans as well, but it was “not interesting” and didn’t publish it. Didn’t really support his stated goal of transparency.
Check the wikipedia article, pretty neutral and factual reporting on the history
Thank you. Not like I’m 5 but intelligible!
Ran Wikileaks. Received classified US military docs about wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Published them.
Then ran to Moscow and turned his operation into a front for Russian propaganda
Left some stuff out there
That seems like EXACTLY a journalistic thing. Who are these “lock him up” people here?
Send him back to jail.

Last time I checked Assange was never a journalist. I think it is terrible what happened to him and I hope I can keep expecting that only from China, Russia, the USA and a few others, but this is false information and actually it explains the whole reason why the USA could very easily apply the Espionage Act in such a way.

Also, he didn’t redact personal information, even revealing social security numbers. His timing and donors were shitty too.
