Dawgholio another one with zero integrity. And my post has nothing to do with trusting the government. I’m pointing out that people have let their partisan politics shape how they see reality. Before Assange hurt Clinton In the 2016 election you couldn’t find a right leaning person on here to say a single good word about him. But because his actions helped Trump win the election all was forgotten. Nope doesn’t make up for what he did.

Yeah that was fun to watch. Looked like they snatched his weary arse out of bed and he was bitching. Looked like “don’t mess with jimmy. Jimmy’s getting mad”

Why did he chose the Ecuadorian embassy again?

This is from memory.

The Swedes wanted his arse. He was out on bond in the U.K. so he couldn’t leave the country.

He’d given the Ecuadorian president a shotload of money and gotten citizenship. So when the chips were down, he fled to the embassy and got asylum.

His buddy the Ecaudorian president left office in 2017. New guy didn’t like Assange.

Both sides should laud him as a hero.

Yet both sides see him as the enemy because he has lifted up the rock to show the bullshite going on underneath. And yet here we are blindly following shitty republicans and shittier democrats in a race to the bottom.

@rojospinks I really hope it was Assange's notoriously bad table manners (as memorably chronicled in @LRB) which served as the final straw.

Only a bootlicker would think that a secretive, oppressive government should be keeping secrets from the populace. The same government that would love to disarm you, trample your Constitutional rights and tax you into poverty.

You really don’t think a government/military should have classified information or at least could have really good reasons to? I have no words.

Which is fine, but once he starts becoming a distribution outlet for an enemy's hacking operation to interfere in our domestic elections he becomes a criminal. As Dan Pompeo put it, he's a "non-state hostile intelligence service".

I could care less about the election related stuff really. He forever became an enemy of America with the earlier release. There is no coming back from what he did.

 On 27 July 2018, Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno said that he had begun talks with British authorities to withdraw the asylum for Assange. In December, Assange turned down an offer that would have allowed him to leave the embassy with the guarantee that the UK would not extradite him to any country where he could face the death penalty.


Probably regretting that decision.

Assange has agreed to plead guilty if he can get Kim Foxx as a prosecutor.
