Trump's First Presidential Act Should Reward the Man Who Handed Him the Election

• thiscantbehappening.net by Dave LIndorff

Donald Trump's victory in the presidential race is probably bad news for Edward Snowden if he was hoping for a chance to leave Russia for a warmer climate or a more open political environment. Trump, in his typically over-the-top blustery manner has more than once called the man who exposed the NSA's massive program for monitoring the electronic communications of Americans and even of the leaders of our purported foreign allies, a "spy" who should be "executed."

But his election should be good news for Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks. It was the Wikileaks disclosure of hacked copies of Hilllary Clinton's secret speeches to the country's big banks, and of the emails to and from Clinton campaign chair John Pedesta, describing among other things her campaign's, and the Democratic National Committee's sabotage of Bernie Sanders' insurgent primary campaign, which almost certainly handed the presidency to Trump. (In one leaked email, Hillary Clinton asks if Assange could be "droned.")
