Hasn't that communist gotten in trouble in the past for trying to censor the press?  I recall that happening during the carwash scandal where Lula and his cronies took billions in bribes.

I wouldnt prosecute Assange or Snowden. Snowden did us a service by exposing the bullshit that the NSA does. He's a whistle blower IMO.
