Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder and notorious whistleblower, lost another appeal challenging his extradition to face legal charges in the United States Friday. Now his lawyers say Assange, who previously spent seven years seeking refuge in an Ecuadorian embassy, is “dangerously close” to spending the rest of his life in an American cell.

Wikileaks did a lot to reveal the depravity, debauchery and sickness of the Democrat elites.

He’s been in jail for years - one of his own making.

If you’re going to force the world to be honest and open - you’re going to have to pay the price. He should have just launched every torpedo he had(has) and taken his chances.

Now, no one gives a crap for him, and he’ll eat the full punishment of a vindictive government.

Bla bla bla.

A little bit of paid sex with under age girls by our rich and famous is no big deal, apparently. Our DOJ will claim it’s out of their jurisdiction.

Epstein...

But!!! Dare be a foreigner, in a foreign country, and do something which isn’t even technically illegal in that country, and our DOJ will find a way to bring you back to the US in the name of “JUSTICE!” Hahaha

Assange

What are the exact charges against Assange?

Decades ago, when he was a well known hacker, he broke into several USA corporate and USA federal government computer systems.

Then, he went on the Dark Web and bragged about it.

After that, as far as I know, Assange never did anything except publish classified documents.

If WaPo and the NYT can publish classified information, why can't Assange?

This was Trump’s mistake. They threatened him if he pardoned Assange. That got him what? Nothing.

“one step closer”? I thought it had been decided earlier this week that yes, he IS being sent to the USA in order to stand trial. Apparently it’s still slowly being whittled down to that decision. The Government has virtually infinite resouces of funds to wait for their moment of vindication and ‘triumph’.

He's being extradited for espionage and computer hacking not for sex crimes.

He’s a publisher, not a hacker.

Trump pardoned all kinds of low life drug dealers because Kim Kardashian asked him to, but not Assange.

Now the deep state is going to change him with the same crime (espionage act), which is pathetic, but does seem like karmic retribution.
