A group of British parliamentarians has asked to speak with Julian Assange ahead of a decision expected soon in the jailed WikiLeaks founder’s extradition case, the leader of the effort announced Thursday.

Richard Burgon, a member of the British Labour Party, released a letter addressed to the head of the U.K. Ministry of Justice requesting a video meeting with Mr. Assange before the decision set for Jan 4.

Sixteen other parliamentarians signed the letter, including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott, his former shadow home secretary, as well as more than a dozen colleagues from across parties.

Assange has always had an unusual coalition of supporters. He is an anti-establishment figure. Non-establishment groups from both the left and the right are his supporters.

Stay out of tunnels, Julian.

Reports say he will be tried in Va. which is a cesspool of deep state stooges. Trump should pardon BOTH assange and snowden just to stick it to the deep state. He did it for Flynn anyway.

Yes, it will be a parting gift and a middle finger salute.:)

Appoint both as special counsel to the WH hahaha

Assange I’m good with. Snowden, someone needs to do some convincing for me.

The UK has a Deep State, too.

And it’s got a lot to worry about.

Probably going to make him an offer he can’t refuse on claiming no knowledge of Prince Andrew’s Epstein connections and on covering up British Intelligence agency involvement in the death of Seth Rich.
