Yahoo News ^ | April 17, 2024 | Matt Novak

U.S. officials say they will not pursue the death penalty against Julian Assange if he’s extradited from the UK to face charges related to his publication of documents highly embarrassing to the U.S. government, according to a report from Australia’s ABC News Tuesday. But that will be cold comfort to some in the British legal system who have argued U.S. prisons are so inherently cruel that sending Assange to America, even with such a guarantee, would still amount to an inhumane act.

US Government has very little credibility.

They're just Biden their time until they have none.

Assange will be as safe as Jeffrey Epstein in our federal prison system.

Sadly that is exactly what will happen. They’ll find him dead after the camera system. Has a glitch.

Lest we forget when Assange was indicted by the federal government:

“WikiLeaks Founder Charged in Superseding Indictment” Wednesday, June 24, 2020

“The new indictment does not add additional counts to the prior 18-count superseding indictment returned against Assange in May 2019.

What does he know at this point that we don’t know?

What new information did he get while in exile?

Me thinks not much on both.

Did his work help Trump in’16 or was it the other guy?

The United States has declared universal jurisdiction over the space-time continuum; therefore Assange can be tried here.

The Aussies refused to supply Kangaroos for use in the US Courts, so we won't give 'em Assange back.
