CIA Whistleblower: Assange Is Going To Get Railroaded By “Hanging” Judge<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.comA former CIA analyst-turned-whistleblower says that an extradited Julian Assange would have\u00a0no chance of a fair trial in front of a federal judge who “reserves every national security case for herself.”<\/p>\n

John Kiriakou, who was sentenced to 30 months in prison by Eastern District of Virginia Judge Leonie Brinkema for telling\u00a0ABC News<\/em>\u00a0about CIA waterboarding, told Russian state-sponsored\u00a0RT<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>“They are going to try to make an example of Julian<\/strong>,” adding “He\u2019s been charged in the Eastern District of Virginia. His judge was also my judge and ex-Snowden\u2019s judge and [CIA whistleblower] Jeffry Sterling\u2019s judge who reserves every national security case for herself.”<\/p>\n

“She is a hanging judge. She will not give him a fair trial. It\u2019s impossible for Julian to receive a fair trial in the Eastern District of Virginia,” addid Kiriakou.<\/p>\n

A fair trial in the Eastern District of Virginia, under Judge Leonie Brinkema, is utterly impossible. They don't call EDVA the "Espionage Court" for nothing. https:\/\/t.co\/U6gVq2FpcB<\/a><\/p>\n
