“the women involved”

... were consenting adults, quibbling only over condom use. Assange wanted au natural, so they accused him of rape.

“Wikileaks Threatens to Sue CNN Over Assange Comments”

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Wikileaks-CNN-julian-Assange-defamation/2017/01/04/id/766798/

“We have issued instructions to sue CNN for defamation ... Unless within 48h they air a one-hour expose of the plot,” WikiLeaks tweeted Wednesday

They’ve put CNN on notice and they have 48 hours to air a one hour special confessing to their lies or they are in big trouble.

He should still sue them for slander, especially now that they’ve admitted to it. They would have a fairly ironclad case. If they can get a fair judge and or jury.

(”“Assange is currently wanted for extradition to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations there,”

You are right - He is NOT -

those charges were trumped too - and Sweden finally dropped them

He would be a free many now if the US would back off.

Well which is #fakenews. The #fakenews or the #fakenews retraction of the #fakenews.

In other words, why should a liar get off the hook by apologizing. Why do we not assume his apology is also a lie.

Yes but who cares if CNN retractions. Gawker then and old that network. They need to learn with a HUGE penalty. Florida courts are familiar with this type of action.

Error?

It’s character assassination. False accusation.

Retractions are like saying, “I shouldn’t have shot you.”

And why on earth do these so-called news outlets think any ex-CIA employee is a terrorism expert when the vast majority of case officers are on official cover assignments and only a limited number of analysts have any in-depth knowledge of terrorism?
