JULIAN Assange has been arrested by British police today after spending seven years hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy.
The WikiLeaks founder, 47, was taken into custody after failing to surrender to the court in 2012 - and has spent 2,487 days holed up in the West London embassy.

Good question.
Amen
For consideration.......if released and extradited, once in America, the truth can come out and assange can be released of all bogus charges
That’s if he talks.
He is probably going to be a dead hero soon, also. If he hasn’t made out his will, he better start writing.
We need to see how the Mueller Report treats Assange. Will Deep State extract a confession of Russian collusion from Assange possibly implicating members of the Trump campaign in exchange for immunity?
Or will Assange blow claims of Russian involvement in the DNC and Podesta hacks out of the water by proving that the material came from Seth Rich? This would be a serious blow to the credibility of the US Intel community and it would destroy completely the Dem narrative that the Russians hacked the DNC and Podesta.
Hard to overstate the importance of this arrest.
Drivel is better than RINO dung.
Someone needs to check flight tracker and see how long a DOJ aircraft has been in England.
Bogus charges? There is no doubt that Assange did serious damage to our national security by his release of millions of USG cables. Manning was charged and convicted of his part in this debacle. Obama commuted Mannings sentence, but the conviction remains.
I feel strongly both ways:
He gave up secrets! Bad!
He exposed Hillary and the DemocRATS! Good!
IIRC, Steven Wasserman was “overseeing” the Seth Rich murder, too.
Assange did a lot of good by releasing state secrets.
And by having released state secrets he has earned the wrath of states.
Not inconsistent to appreciate what he did, and expect his incarceration.
You nailed it. Too much of a coincidence on the timing. This is what full panic mode looks like by the deep state.
Not surprised.
It was coming.
Rush will talk about it on his show later.
EXACTLY what I was thinking!
I'm suspicious by nature and would take a good guess that those who have been wanting him in custody have been working feverishly to short circuit any such dead-man's switch before they take him.
If true, it would seem that Julian's arrest has proven that their efforts have been successful. We shall see.
Just seen the arrest video via Drudge.
Things are going to get interesting now. I am confident he has supporters with access to Scorched Earth data files.
Just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
