Why didn’t Assange pay restitution to military and intelligence personnel his revelations killed or damaged?

When the US released journalist Julian Assange after 12 years in asylum and prison for practicing his profession, he was not required to pay one penny of restitution required to compensate all those US military and intelligence personnel his revelations compromised.

That’s strange as damage done to US national security interests and US personnel home and abroad was the primo reason for forcing Assange into asylum and imprisonment for a dozen years while the US schemed to put him away for life.

Not only did the US not make restitution part of his plea agreement for his release, they flat out refuted the main reason for prosecuting Assange in the first place.

In a short paragraph titled ‘Restitution’ that was completely ignored by mainstream media in their coverage, the Biden Justice Department called for no restitution because no national security interest or personnel were harmed.

Since it has been kept under wraps, the Restitution paragraph is worth a gander.

 

First, the US congers up outrageous charges to destroy a journalist, and more importantly, intimidate future courageous journalists outing US war crimes. When Judgement Day arrives, the US dons its Rosanne Rosanna Danna costume and simply mutters…”Oh, never mind.”

In sports it’s ‘No harm, no foul.’ For the US national security state, it’s ‘No harm, 12 years in prison.’
