Yeah... big shock that they let that one go.
This has nothing to do with his alleged treatment of the people in the embassy. Don't you feel any shame from your comments?

I guess maybe he shouldn’t have pooped where he ate:


“His dramatic expulsion from the embassy follows a year of ratcheting tension between Assange and his Ecuadorian hosts, culminating in Wikileaks publicizing a leak of hundreds of thousands of hacked emails mysteriously stolen from the inboxes of Ecuador’s president and first lady.”

Did he really believe this would end well?

Nope. He's not a friend of mine. He was wanted in Sweden for sexual assault of a minor. He's committed actual computer crimes.

Why should I feel bad for stating what the Ecuadorian embassy officials have already made public knowledge?

I can only assume a better, more respectful guest could get a longer asylum. This one was horrid to people and they kept him for 7 years. Maybe he wore out his welcome. I don't know any more than you do.

But if the feds want you they don't let facts stand in their way.



If you want to believe our government and intelligence agencies are honest I LOL at that.

Fair enough, but don't go thinking Trump is honest, and you'll be onto how it really works.

Hahahaha, with people like it you, it's so easy to get away with everything. Do you even realize the charges in Sweden were dropped? There were never any merit to them in the first place. Computer crimes? He's a whistleblower. Jesus christ, I hate sharing the world with people like you.

If Wikileaks was publishing North Korean secrets, Julian Assange would have been given a Nobel Peace Prize.

Him being removed had nothing to do with his treatment of the staff in building, your attempts to twist what's going on are pathetic at best.

So sharing personal photos of someone’s wife and children, the inside of their home, including their bedroom, is a noble cause for you?

Well, alrighty then.

Those charges were dropped. It was obviously bogus. The timing of the charges was simply to get him in custody because the U.S. wanted him. And computer crimes? He had to pay a $2,000 fine and let go with no prison time. He did nothing malicious.

I tend to not take at their word what embassy officials say ever since the WaPo journalist disappeared and the Saudi embassy officials said they let him leave.

The fact he was in there 7 years when they could have booted him out day one shows how the story is baloney.


But he released emails that might have contributed to Hillary losing and Trump winning the election. The same emails that were later released by news organizations around the world. This is really the issue for people like you.
