Assange arrested.

[ancona]

Well,
They've arrested Assange and dragged him out of the embassy. Will he be extradited? Hell to the no! the last thing the US needs is a fucking trial where this man gets to talk. He knows too much. He may in fact have the missing Hillary e-mails, and he definitely has the Podesta ones. The Deep State does not want him anywhere near the continental USA. They'll make Sweden take him and have a show trial on trumped up rape charges that were previously dropped on insufficient evidence [he said-she said] then deport him to Australia.

What else he has remains a mystery, but I'll bet he has some aces up his sleeve for this very reason.:judge:

I think he will be extradited and convicted in US courts. They (govco) need to set (or affirm) an example. Can't be encouraging anyone else to follow Assange's or Snowden's footsteps.

Then again, current news reports about his erratic behavior (feces smearing, workout videos) might be foundational to a pending "suicide" story. Time will tell. Either way, IMO, the guy is fucked.

Assange is bound to have some 'insurance' !
Its curious that he almost had a deal with US authorities to 'pardon' him but they backed out at the last. Think this was during the presidential election period ?
This process could only have been explored if Wikileaks could demonstrate having something of value .........
Its a curious situation with Trump having been supportive in the past now having memory lapse.
Perhaps they are hoping that the smearing process to make Assagne seem like a really awful human being will be enough to turn the world against him.
This rather long article from Caitlin Johnstone refuting all the accusations against Assagne is well worth the time -

Political Enemies & Mainstream Media (Forgive the Redundancy)

You may be unaware that in March 2017 lawyers for Assange and the Justice Department (acting on behalf of the CIA) reportedly were very close to an agreement under which Assange would agree to discuss “technical evidence ruling out certain parties” in the leak of the DNC emails and agree to redact some classified CIA information, in exchange for limited immunity. According to the investigative reporter John Solomon of The Hill, Sen. Mark Warner, (D-VA) vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, learned of the incipient deal and told then-FBI Director Comey, who ordered an abrupt“stand down” and an end to the discussions with Assange.

Why did Comey and Warner put the kibosh on receiving “technical evidence ruling out certain parties” [read Russia]? We won’t insult you with the obvious answer. Assange is now in prison, to the delight of so many — including Mrs. Clinton who has said Assange must now “answer for what he has done.”

But is it too late to follow up somehow on Assange’s offer? Might he or his associates be still willing to provide “technical evidence” showing, at least, who was not the culprit?
