Looks like I was a year off, it was 2011.
Thanks. Yeah, I think I heard about this jury, but only that its deliberation was secret, and I never found out what was decided. When the indictment was unsealed, I assumed it was the revelation of this Jury's decision.
Easy to get mixed up. It has been a long and complex case!
Even more complex with the changing of administrations who each handled it differently.
Do you remember when the decision of the 2011 grand jury was revealed? If they kept it secret to scare Assange, that's still a pretty outrageous form of press intimidation.
Oh agreed and I am pretty sure they were happy to leave it hanging over him for intimidation purposes.
Democrats are "better" on press freedom simply because their moves are more overt than direct, so fewer people notice them.
