EPISODE 27: PARDON JULIAN ASSANGE
Legendary journalist John Pilger, a friend of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, joins us as a growing chorus calls for President Trump to pardon Assange, still being held in a grim British prison and awaiting the outcome of his latest hearing. The clock ticks down for Assange who is not doing well in circumstances usually reserved for the most vile and dangerous criminals.
Assange is depressed and his health is failing. The makeup of Joe Biden’s national security team doesn’t offer much hope Biden would offer Assange a fair shake. One of the world’s most important publishers has been targeted and fair-minded people demand that it ends.
