Julian Assange
tl;dr, I know. I feel I should state my position up front. I think that Wikileaks performs a valuable service which is fully covered by all the protection the First Amendment offers.

Black Letter Law
Steve Mnuchin is a particularly loathsome Republican whos name makes me cringe every time I see it scroll up the screen after an otherwise good movie like Wonder Woman or Lego Batman.
