1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: So yesterday David Letterman was arrested in the Ecuadorian embassy 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: in London and dragged out to his car. Why was 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: David Letterman arrested? That was actually Julian A Sanshack, co 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: founder of Wiki leaks. After many years there hold up 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: in the embassy, finally something happened. Why it happened, and 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: and and how it happened is a really interesting story 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: in which the usual partisan lines are are more or 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: less useless. I think which refreshing. I saw a lot 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: of Democrats and Republicans wanting Julian Assange too, Rod and Jail. 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: I get a little concerned when Republicans and Democrats agree 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: on something. Sometimes sometimes that means this clearly obviously is 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: a good thing. Sometimes it means it's clearly obviously a 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: bad thing. Well. Matt zapp Potowski is part of a 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: team that has written a really terrific and interesting piece 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: in the Washington Post this morning, the title of which is, 16 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: after years of debate, Trump administration chose to pursue criminal 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: case against as sage, Matt za Potowski joins us. Now, Hello, Matt, 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: how are you sir? Hey? I'm doing great for having 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: me on. Yeah, it's our pleasure. So really thought provoking 20 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: stuff here about the press and the First Amendment and 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: visit a criminal conspiracy with what are the two sides, 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: if indeed there are just two to the question. Well, 23 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: this is a really interesting debate. Julian Assange, of course, 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: at some base level, is a publisher. He publishes information, 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: and he's drawn the ire of governments because he publishes 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: a lot of classified information. So for years, pretty much 27 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: starting in after he dumps these State Department cables and 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: Iraq and Afghanistan war documents onto the Internet, there's this 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: great debate inside the Justice Department. Can we charge this 30 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: guy with a crime? The sort of hardest edged people 31 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: would say, well, sure we can. Publishing classified information itself 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: could be considered a crime. But then other people would 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: say no, no, no, that would make him just the 34 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: same as the New York Times or the Washington Post. 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: Their reporters published classified information all the time. So at 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: the end of the Obama administration, they're kind of been 37 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: a holding pattern. His cases technically open, but they've decided 38 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: they're not going to charge him because of the precedent. 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: This would set for the media potential First Amendment challenges 40 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: to the case. Jeff Sessions comes in as Attorney General, 41 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: really wants to crack down on unauthorized disclosures of information, 42 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: kind of dusts off this old case and we're off 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: to the races. And the climate by then two has changed. 44 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: His organization has leaked a lot more stuff, most notably 45 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: c i A, hacking tools, democrats emails. The climate is 46 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: just different. And and that's sort of how they come 47 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: to this decision that yeah, they're going to charge him. Um, 48 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: And you know, the debate will rage about the First Amendment. 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: Do you know in what way this is the same 50 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: or different than the famous Pentagon Papers case that the 51 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruled on in which Daniel Ellsberg got a 52 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: hold of documents that you know, said some important things 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: about the Vietnam War and then they were printed. So 54 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: the way prosecutors view this case as different. You can 55 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: see this in the charge is that Julian, Well, this 56 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: is different from from Elsberger a person like that, because 57 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: Julian Assange is the recipient of information. He's not a 58 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: guy who signed papers that said I won't reveal this 59 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: classified information which the government has given me access to. 60 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: In this case, that would be Chelsea Manning, who was charged, 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: went to jail for a while until our sentence was commuted. 62 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: Joan Assange is a little different. He's the publisher, so 63 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: it's comparing it to the Pentagon paper story. A songe 64 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: is the New York Times, not Daniel Ellsberg, correct, But 65 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: prosecutors see him as a little different because he's not 66 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: just the recipient and publisher of information. The way they 67 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 1: see it, he kind of conspired with Manning to get 68 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: the information, and in particular, they discussed possibly cracking this 69 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: password so they would sort of have administrative privileges inside 70 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: the government system. They didn't. They were ultimately successful in that, 71 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: and a lot of what Manning leaked he had access to. 72 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: They didn't need to crack any password. But what he 73 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: was charged with, it's just this hacking conspiracy trying to 74 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: crack this password, and that's where they say, that's where 75 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: the justice pharmacisum is different from a journalist. A journalist 76 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: generally isn't going to break into a government office and 77 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: get information that's clearly a crime. They're gonna try to 78 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: coax people who actually legitimately have information to give it 79 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: to them, and that person, the person giving the information 80 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: might be charged for the crime, but the journalists, generally 81 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: in justice parmament practice would not. And this is where 82 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: it gets so interesting. I saw Glenn Greenwald tweeted earlier 83 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: this morning that the New York Times installed. Is that 84 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: what call some some sort of phone line is something 85 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: that obviously made it easier for people to leak information 86 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: without getting caught. I don't remember the precise parameter of it, 87 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: but Glenn asked, is that conspiracy to um, you know, 88 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: disseminate classified material? Are they actively now aiding and abetting 89 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: the sharing of classified material making them liable in the 90 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: same way that Julian Osane is uh drawn? That line 91 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: is going to be a little tough. I think, yeah, 92 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: there's so much gray area here. We at the Post 93 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: have a similar thing called secure drop, where people can 94 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: communicate with us anonymously over encrypted apps. They can share 95 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: tips that well, you are, I think prosecutors would say 96 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: Assange is a little different because he's sort of reaching 97 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: out to Manning and they're trying together to hack a 98 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: government system that you know, there are interesting gray areas here, 99 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: though in the indictment also cites things that are just 100 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: sort of common reporting practice, use of encrypted apps encouraging 101 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: sources to kind of cover their tracks. That is common 102 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: reporting practice. And Glenn, who I really respect, is saying, look, 103 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: even the hacking was kind of a cover up. The 104 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: the hacking wasn't meant to get him more materials. It 105 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: was meant to cover up the fact that materials already 106 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: had been leaked. So is that so far from using signal? 107 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: I mean, there is really interesting an interesting First Amendment 108 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: question here. Prosecutors sought to narrow that by only charging 109 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: him with sort of one hacking offense, not SPN and 110 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: what yeah, what how big an offense is hacking? Anyway? 111 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: It's it's not not that big. But he faces so 112 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: far as a five year statutory maximum penalty, and it's 113 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: it's funny in the federal system, nobody really gets the 114 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: statutory so think so on what he's been charged with 115 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: it he's facing a couple of years in jail if 116 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: he's found guilty. So I don't understand why he couldn't claim, look, 117 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: we got the information from Bradley and the thumb drive 118 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: and all that, I didn't get it from the hacking. 119 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: And I don't know how you'd argue with that. Yeah, 120 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: I mean the trick here is it's not like hacking 121 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: has to be successful to be a crime, and it's 122 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: not like hacking has to get classified information to be 123 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: a crime. If somebody hacked the Washington Post, for example, 124 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: or sought to hack the Washington Post, we don't have 125 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: classified information that it could be across. Just to clear 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: my confusion, as I saw Republicans and Democrats talking about 127 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: how Assange needs to rot in jail, that doesn't seem 128 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: like that's even on the table right now. No. Now, 129 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: it is possible that they will upgrade the charges until 130 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: he's sort of formally turned over to US custody, which 131 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: is the process that could take years. They could upgrade 132 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: the charges, but for some people this is kind of uh, 133 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you would say disappointing, but kind 134 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: of anticlimactic. Again, it's not like he's charged as a 135 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: spy or as an agent of a foreign government. And 136 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: if he cleaned up after there's cat, he might still 137 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: be in the embassy, right Mad Zapatosky, The Washington Post 138 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: is onlinement covers national security, among other things. Uh so, well, yeah, 139 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, I was going to make the joke that 140 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: the various actresses who bribed their kids away into Yale. 141 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: Are you gonna get five times as much time as 142 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: Julian Osan? So it's a little odd we're paying this 143 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: much attention to it. But there he's gonna spend that 144 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: in jail clearly and should um and yes, I'm pretty judging, 145 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: But well, I just how likely is the addition of, 146 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: for instance, an espionage charge Matt that. It's just so 147 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: hard to say. I mean, on one hand, a lot 148 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: of people would want that, and this is so surprising 149 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: that he charged with one hacking offense to five year penalty. 150 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, when you start to bring 151 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: an espionage you're really going to start raising these First 152 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: Amendment concerns. And there's also a concern about his extradition. 153 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: This is a very involved, intricate process, and if the 154 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: UK decides we've charged him with a political crime, they 155 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: will not send him over here. Espionage kind of has 156 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: a political context. So do you slap on those charges 157 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: and risk never getting him back? Do you just sit 158 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: on the hacking charges, maybe at a few more hacking charges. Uh? 159 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,239 Speaker 1: You know, this is gonna be a tough call for prosecutors, 160 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: and the United States couldn't say no, no, no no, that's 161 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: just a hack in case. Then get him here and 162 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: charge him with everything, including treason. Put him out, go 163 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: up against the wall because the Brits would go nuts. Yeah, 164 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: that would right thereship. Yeah, that's right, they couldn't do that. Wow. Wow, 165 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: this is so thought provoking. That's kind of why it's fun. 166 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: Matt zap Potoski, national security reporter covering the Just Department 167 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: for the Washington Post. Matt always stimulating. Thanks a Milian, 168 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: We appreciate your time. He's gonna end up spending, if 169 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: any time in jail, a very small amount in a 170 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: not very scary jail conspiracy to hack. Right, he'll spend 171 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: two years in a medium security jail, and you know, 172 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: given a fact that you know, he won't have his 173 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: cat with him. But he's been in a kind of 174 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: a glorified apartment. Nobody speaks anything but Ecuadorian. There's cat 175 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: crap everywhere. He could argue time served, right, time served. Yeah, 176 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to be fair about this, and uh, 177 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: you know, we're both free speech guys. You don't want 178 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: anything that could, in the future make it more difficult 179 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: for the truth to come out. I think Julian Ossange 180 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: is a thoroughly bad human being. I think he's an 181 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: awful human being. He hates America, so I think that's 182 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: pretty clear. Yeah, he's an America hater. He is more 183 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: than willing to endanger innocent people or to spill national 184 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: secrets that there's no justification for because he I think 185 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: he's got I think he's a megalomaniac. I think he's 186 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: convinced that he's one of the great people in history. Um, 187 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, I think some of the stuff he's leaked 188 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: has been fine. I think it probably should have been leaked. Um, 189 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: some of the stuff was was terrible. There's no justifying it. 190 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: So I don't like the guy at all. I think 191 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: he's slimy. On the other hand, I get the First 192 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: Amendment argument and and and I think the government needs 193 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: to tread carefully, But they are treading carefully. I think 194 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: we may have lines drawn or at least kind of 195 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: better shading on some of this activity as a result 196 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: of this case, as we work through it as a people, 197 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: which I think is probably a good thing. I think 198 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: you'll end up in the United States. Yeah, I would guess. So, 199 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: I would guess spending heard some man was saying they 200 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: don't really want him in the United States A real yeah, 201 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't know who. That's interesting? Was that TV lawyers, 202 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,599 Speaker 1: I wonder? Yeah, yeah, well it does open up a 203 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: whole series of problems, Justice Department problems, pr problems. UM. 204 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: Might be easier just let him languish in embassy somewhere 205 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: surrounded by his cat's poo. Could shine a light on 206 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: some information that people have forgotten that came out of it. Yes, 207 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: right now. Because I'm also a bad person, I've been 208 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: very excited about the idea that he's got his poison 209 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: pills somewhere ready to get de encrypted and uh and 210 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: disseminated secrets about the rich and the powerful all over 211 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: the world, um, which he claims. Yeah, yeah, bring it on, Julian, 212 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: now's the time get that dang old beard trimmed and 213 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: and turn loose to gossip man cat scratch fever. I see, 214 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: all right, very nice, ted nugent classic and going with 215 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: the cat theme of the previous conversation. Why not. I 216 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: would to know what percentage of him getting this whole story, 217 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: him getting booted out of the embassy and starting this 218 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: whole story is because he wouldn't clean up after his cap. 219 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: If he had cleaned up after his cat, would he's 220 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: still be there and he wasn't paying his bills? Would 221 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: he been able to live out the rest of his 222 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: life there if he had just cleaned up after his cap. 223 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: From the Ecuadorian's point of view, this wasn't a delicate 224 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: and complex First Amendment case. This was a crappy roommate right,
