That recent leak of America's hacking secrets comes at an opportune time for Assange. Â He may have to leave that embassy in London within a few months. Â Generally, and unlike MY trial, a Federal criminal defendant gets great leeway to call witnesses for his defense. Â Now that he has published the 'keys to the kingdom', I doubt whether it would even be possible to prosecute him. Â Imagine all the witnesses he could call just to verify the genuineness of those recent documents!
No doubt the person or people who leaked that material to Wikileaks knew this. Â Somebody deserves some big congratulations.
