  • John 8:7 “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Talk first about Trump, Assange, and the millions of Americans that that have taken a plea bargain to avoid the draconian American judicial system.

    He grew up in Russian speaking family, so his Russian should be good. And now he used this knowledge in his work against Russia’s interests. He was caught red handed getting classified military documents. Hope Russians will also deal with his source accordingly. Good job, FSB. 🇷🇺
