Members of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s legal team were blocked from entering the Ecuadorian embassy in London this weekend, WikiLeaks’ official Twitter account said Saturday. Ecuadorian officials turned away attorneys Jen Robinson and Aitor Martinez scheduled to meet with Assange, who is preparing for a court hearing at a “national security court complex at Alexandria, Virginia,” according to the whistleblowing non-profit organization. The aim of the hearing is to “remove the secrecy order” concerning the U.S. charges Assange faces, the group tweeted.

Mueller has to be afraid of Assange, because he likely has lots of dirt on him.

If Assage has anything else on Crooked H or anyone else, he better get it out there pronto.

If he enters the lower 48 alive I’ll be surprised. Too many Washington power brokers would go down if he was allowed to testify.

This is the DOJ Deep state challenging Trump directly. Unbelievable. If he doesn’t act with swiftness and viciousness, it will go way beyond his control.

Jillian can always walk out in the London sidewalk to meet with his lawyer.

The pressure is on, because the UK doesn't want him alive and testifying if President Trump declassifies all the possibly incriminating British skullduggery.

“Officials have also imposed a series of other restrictions on Assange’s activities and visitors, and ordered him to clean up after his cat.”

That last sentence struck me funny.

OK Julian, we’ll let you see your lawyers if and only if you clean up the cat poo.

He probably has a dead-man switch set up where, if he doesn’t check in on a regular basis, the material is all released.

He may already have distributed encrypted versions, in which case all he has to do is publish the decryption key.

Problem with that is he reported the truth about various individuals whose integrity is dependent on hiding their actions. They’d like to kill him.

For example, Hillary. She would have him killed for releasing the emails he got from Seth Rich.

For the average onlooker, what we see is people acting corrupt and trying to hide it. It’s not immediately apparent whether the moral deficit in these progressives is worse than the mental, or the other way around.

Whatever the case, we can be certain they don’t fully understand what they believe, or why they believe it.

The US government is pressuring Ecuador’s from what I gather to turn the screws on Assange.

Assange has helped to ferret out the corruption standing in the way of Donald Trump getting elected in 2016.

Can somebody remind me how a court in Virginia has jurisdiction over free speech offenses committed by an Australian citizen in Europe?

So what’s different between what MBS is alleged to have ordered vis-a-vis Khashoggi and what Hillary is reported to have said vis-a-vis Assange (“can’t we take him out?”)

Where is all the moralistic fervor regarding “freedom of the press” and protection of journalists when it comes to Assange?
