The legal team of WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange has said expelling him from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London would be "illegal" and would "violate international refugee law." "It will be a sad day for democracy if the UK and Ecuadorean governments are willing to act as accomplices to the Trump administration's determination to prosecute a publisher for publishing truthful information," according to the statement issued on Friday. The statement came after Ecuador's Foreign Ministry refused to comment on claims from WikiLeaks that Assange could soon be expelled from the country's embassy in London.

I'm sure that everything he knows has been transferred to thumb drives and smuggled out in Pam Anderson's....ummm…..to be given to trusted confidants for use in a Scorched Earth operation should he be taken.

On the one hand, I think we have him to thank for the DNC email exposure.

On the other, there is the problem of the guest that stays too long.

I wonder... which governments want to get at him now? His situation should be improved vis-a-vis the US with Trump as President vs Obama (or Hillary). But there are other players.

I look at Assange as a guy that playing both sides.

That doesn’t work now.

Part of his work I appreciate, some I don’t.

“Part of his work I appreciate, some I don’t.”

He deserves a medal for what he did to Hillary. I’ll overlook just about everything else because of that.
