Numerous Indiana elementary school teachers were shot in January as part of a “safe schools” training program.

Julian Assange was arrested last week in London, and he awaits legal proceedings designed to extradite him to the United States to be tried on hacking and espionage charges.

The US government has sought to prosecute Assange since at least 2010 when WikiLeaks released video footage of US forces murdering civilians — including two Reuters reporters — during 2007 air strikes.

The arrest of Julian Assange has produced rapturous cheering from the American political elite. Hillary Clinton declared that Assange “must answer for what he has done.” Unfortunately, Assange’s arrest will do nothing to prevent the vast majority of conniving politicians and bureaucrats from paying no price for deceiving the American public.

After years of denouncing “millionaires and billionaires” and a supposed source of America’s economic problems, this information is a little awkward for Sanders.
