I think Kash Patel is on record as making similar comments. Can't seem to track them down at the moment though.

Assange currently looks like "the good one" of the two leakers, but I think it makes sense to hold out a final judgement on that as there could be layers of deception we can only imagine... After all, Snowden is chilling in Russia while Assange was in solitary, and if white hats are in control how much sense does that make?

I won't say which one, but I feel a little bit more strongly about one than the other...but...and you probably understand that. I could have done it (folds arms) but I will say you have people on both sides of that issue--good people on both sides--and you have some bad people on one side, but I decided to let that one ride, to let the courts work it out, and I guess the courts are actually doing that.
