President Trump, pardon Julian Assange, pin a medal on him for good measure.
Let the jerk tell the truth about Marc Rich and we have a deal.
“There are probably 10,000 fat, lonely guys, living in their parents’ basements who the government could charge with that crime on any given day.”
But this one made Hillary angry.
“Assange’s attorneys in the UK”
His last lawyer was Arkancided.
And that conviction rate is only what it is because they cherry pick their cases. If the Feds, FBI, et al ever had to do real police work, like a real detective and the DOJ was forced to prosecute like a real DA, the conviction rate would drop dramatically. Especially with the amount of entrapment they use, with their informants. Hell, you can lie all you want to the cops and if you tried to charge anyone with it, most judges will laugh in your face.
And when they can’t prove anything else, they go with Conspiracy to ???????. A CatchAll charge that is meaningless in a real courtroom. But, federal judges can hand down some pretty harsh punishments if “you waste the courts time” instead of pleading guilty. Manafort is a perfect example. I wouldn’t even say he was investigated 10+ years ago, for the same thing they went after him for last year. The Podesta’s, who he was working with at the time, were able to back date their FARA paperwork, as does everyone else. The clintons were allowed to amend their taxes after getting caught hiding millions. And Manafort is doing time.
Not to mention the theatrics of the FBI agents in kit, with rifles at O Dark Thirty, serving warrants. They should be ashamed of themselves but when you have no shame, that’s not possible. A real cop or detective would have knocked on the guys door in the morning or pulled him over on a traffic stop down the street and then went back to the house. A seasoned veteran, knowing that he already had a lawyer and was cooperating would have just called the lawyer.
That is the sham that is our federal law enforcement community and justice system.
He’s not going to get bail and is going to be locked up somewhere for years awaiting extradition and trial.
A big plus, he will no longer be able to communicate online like he did at the embassy.
Being forgotten will be a living death for this rat.
Does it matter which wing of hell you’re in?
Assange already spent 8 years in prison.
Trump should get the charges dropped. No Assange, no Trump presidency.
