This included American citizens’ devices, too. And now they’re arguing in court that their constitutional rights were violated. And could Julian Assange be extradited to the US later this month? On this episode of the Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou speaks with Randy Credico, a Radio Host & Political satirist, and to investigative journalist Joe Lauria, about the court case in the UK that could determine Assange’s fate. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-whistleblowers-7101397/episodes/julian-assange-bugging-ecuador-s-embassy/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-whistleblowers-7101397/julian-assange-bugging-ecuador-s-embassy.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
