Government Forces Assange To Pay $520k For His Flight Home! (Jimmy Dore)

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returned to his homeland Australia aboard a charter jet and raised a celebratory clenched fist as his supporters cheered Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to obtaining and publishing U.S. military secrets in a deal with Justice Department prosecutors that concludes a drawn-out legal saga. The Australian government chartered a private jet to take Assange home, but is insisting that Assange pay back the government for the flight’s $520,000 price tag

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this final insult directed at Assange and the crowdfunding campaign underway to help him defray the costs.
