CIA Whistleblower: “Julian Assange Will Not Receive an Impartial Jury”

An interview with Jeffrey Sterling: Jacobin Magazine
Interview by Mohamed Elmaazi

Jeffrey Sterling is a former CIA officer, whistleblower, and graduate of Washington University Law School. After he had filed a discrimination lawsuit against the CIA, Sterling was controversially tried and convicted in 2015 under the 1917 Espionage Act in the Eastern District of Virginia. This same act is now being used to target publisher and journalist Julian Assange. Should the WikiLeaks founder be extradited to the United States, he, too, would face trial in this same district.
