Remember those rape charges in Sweden?
Remember when people said it was a ruse to get Assange out of the country and into the loving arms of a FED super max prison?

Trump Lawyer Giuliani say Julian Assange Should Not Be Prosecuted
So said Rudy Giuliani during Fox News interview on Monday (December, 30th).
How his opinion may affect the DOJs sealed indictment of Assange for publishing classified documents is unclear. But this is the most optimistic note from the President's Office in recent months for defenders of Assange's freedom to publish as WikiLeaks founder and publisher.
Assange is in Ecuador's London Embassy, in refuge against British warrants for his arrest.
Here is an extract from the account of Giuliani's interview that appeared at Zero Hedge:
Quote:Quote:
Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer for President Donald Trump, said Monday that WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange had not done “anything wrong” and should not go to jail for disseminating stolen information just as major media does.
“Let’s take the Pentagon Papers,” Giuliani told Fox News.
“The Pentagon Papers were stolen property, weren’t they? It was in The New York Times and The Washington Post. Nobody went to jail at The New York Times and The Washington Post.”
Giuliani said there were “revelations during the Bush administration” such as Abu Ghraib. “All of that is stolen property taken from the government, it’s against the law. But once it gets to a media publication, they can publish it,” Giuliani said, “for the purpose of informing people.”
“You can’t put Assange in a different position,” he said.
“He was a guy who communicated.”
Giuliani said, “We may not like what [Assange] communicates, but he was a media facility. He was putting that information out,” he said.
“Every newspaper and station grabbed it, and published it.”
The U.S. government has admitted that it has indicted Assange for publishing classified information, but it is battling in court [LINK in original] to keep the details of the indictment secret. As a lawyer and close advisor to Trump, Giuliani could have influence on the president’s and the Justice Department’s thinking on Assange. [EMPHASIS ADDED]

If Julian is not prosecuted, does this mean he could possibly be helped by the U.S? It would help the country if he unleashes more dirty info. He struck a nerve with the Democrats after revealing Hillary's plan to sabotage Bernie and split her party in terms of votes. I'm sure he's got stuff on Republicans when they get bad.

Everytime this comes up for discussion by the MSM they always say he is a right piece of work and is a fugitive from justice for what he did in Sweden.
These are the same cucks who suck up to Muslims and globalists lies as well so no surprise. Imagine my shock when he ends up in some comfy FED supermax.

According to the Ecuadorian president, the UK has guaranteed he's not to be extradited to a country where he might face torture or the death penalty (i.e. the USA).
I suppose the UK could get around that by just extraditing him to Sweden or having the USA guarantee he won't get the death penalty (which he wouldn't get anyways). Torture of some type, well, who would believe any government? Remember, it's not torture if your government says it's not torture (see: waterboarding).
Assange was a fool for not going to Sweden years ago. Even if he was convicted of those bullshit rape charges (they may have been too fake for even a Swedish judge to uphold), he'd have been out of a slack Swedish prison by now, long before the USA had made serious charges against him.
Now he might be facing life in some hellhole federal supermax.

Will any of us live to see Brexit
(Incidentally, it's handy for our overlords that the msm will now saturate the masses with Assange news, right when the UK has just agreed to delay Brexit yet again, right back to fucking Halloween!)

Shame. I would have loved to see 1000 men walk into the embassy and 1001 Muslim women in burka bodybags bum rush the exit.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

The arrest is for US extradition...indictment filed by DOJ in Dec. 2017 (Trump admin)...for publishing files early in the decade.

It used to be part of my job how to advise clients how to play extradition warrants. You're in a tough situation, you have to make tough choices.
I thought it back when he went into the Ecuadorian embassy, and looks like I was right, particularly if the warrant for Assange's arrest by the USA wasn't issued until 2017, and it is only for the Manning leaks. He'd have been long free of Sweden by 2017. He wasted years of his life going crazy in the embassy and ultimately fucked himself over.
I don't think the Obama administration wanted to prosecute Assange for the Manning leaks. There's a big press freedom / First Amendment issue, and Obama commuted Manning's military sentence to a small fraction of what the court martial imposed.

Oh shit. It's finally happened. Personally I think he's fucked a million ways from Sunday, especially if we get our hands on him. He looks great though, that pale skin and beard and body language, not crazy and cabin fever riddled at all.

He obviously pissed off the Ecuadorians and they were not treating him well in the last year or so.
If only you knew how bad things really are.
