“I love WikiLeaks,” candidate Donald Trump said on October 10th on the campaign trail. He praised the organization for reporting on the darker side of the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was information likely leaked by a whistleblower from within the Clinton campaign to WikiLeaks.
Back then he praised WikiLeaks for promoting transparency, but candidate Trump looks less like President Trump every day. The candidate praised whistleblowers and WikiLeaks often on the campaign trail. In fact, candidate Trump loved WikiLeaks so much he mentioned the organization more than 140 times in the final month of the campaign alone!
Now, as President, it seems Trump wants WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sent to prison
Last week CNN reported, citing anonymous “intelligence community” sources, that the Trump Administration’s Justice Department was seeking the arrest of Assange and had found a way to charge the WikiLeaks founder for publishing classified information without charging other media outlets such as the New York Times and Washington Post for publishing the same information.
It might have been tempting to write off the CNN report as “fake news,” as is much of their reporting, but for the fact President Trump said in an interview on Friday that issuing an arrest warrant for Julian Assange would be, “OK with me.”

No biggie. I'd be the same way. You work in my favor, I'm for ya. You work against me, I'm against ya.
Then I move-ahead forward, not really living-in-the-meaningful-past over Snowden, Assange, etc.
It's not as if Trump told Sweden to drop JA's rape-allegations or ordered sanctions on Ecuador.
