Julian Assange deserves jail because "he is not a member of the free press," @jamil_n_jaffer tells @mehdirhasan. But @JameelJaffer says: "If you can charge Julian Assange" with publishing U.S. secrets, "you can charge any national security journalist with that."

You’re an absolute demon. This is a litmus test. If you want Assange jailed, you’re the criminal. You’re the Nazi.

Jaffer is ex Bush White House and DOJ so he should know that even US and UK courts have conceded that Julian Assange is a card-carrying & award-winning journalist. This kind of "debate" does nothing to educate viewers. So what's the real point of it? #FreeASSANGE

Jamil jaffer is scared of being proven complicit in crimes against humanity . That's why he wants Julian Assange silenced. A free and Open press is the most important part of the bill of rights, First amendment!
Pursuing #Assange for publishing truthfull information re US war crimes is damaging the US. The hypocrisy of @POTUS calling out that journalism is not a crime whilst continuing with this case is shocking. The US gov must unconditionally #DropTheCharges and #FreeJulianAssangeNOW
