Truth is not a crime: Julian Assange’s plea deal

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez asks why Julian Assange is STILL being persecuted for revealing US war crimes in Iraq. We take a look at the now infamous video of an American attack helicopter gunning down civilians and reporters in Iraq during the US occupation. Is Julian Assange going to suffer until the end of his days in prison for revealing war crimes like these, or will he take the chance and make a deal with the US authorities? Meanwhile, Justice Jackson thinks the First Amendment is hamstringing the work of the government, as the US puts the heat in very different ways on two islands, Taiwan and Cuba, half a world away from each other. Rick sits down with Professor and Commentator Dan Kovalik and Radio Host Misty Winston to discuss all of this.
