It is correct that people who are accused of crimes stand trial. That’s what is supposed to happen.
If he’s innocent then he has nothing to fear.
US, Russia and China are the scourge of the world.
He’d be out of prison long ago and giving lectures if he’d just given himself up
Wikileaks cooperated with Russian hackers to get Hillary Clinton and the DNC’s emails. This has been proven. Yet Wikileaks didn’t do the same with Trump and the RNC. There are text messages that one of his former employees gave to the press showing that his preferred candidate was Trump. He was trying to get Trump elected and it worked. As far as I’m concerned, he’s complicit in election interference.
Good, extradite the motherfucker.
I also reminded of this…”When Assange was warned that publishing the names of Afghans who had cooperated with US forces might put *THEIR* lives at risk, he replied: “Well, they’re informants. So, if they get killed, they’ve got it coming to them. They deserve it.”[ [https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1139493606220341248?s=20](https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1139493606220341248?s=20) ]

Mr Assange has been charged with Espionage Act violations..

The same charges that Donald Trump has been charged under…[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-indictment-section-793-espionage-act-mark-meadows-b2353684.html](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-indictment-section-793-espionage-act-mark-meadows-b2353684.html)
How can we regard Donald Trump as a “Zero”, a criminal, a traitor, and Mr Assange a “Hero”… especially one that eagerly worked with the Russian GRU to put Donald Trump in the presidency and destroy US democracy…[https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/22/mueller-report-confirms-it-assange-is-not-whistleblower-or-journalist/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/22/mueller-report-confirms-it-assange-is-not-whistleblower-or-journalist/)
If Mr Assange is innocent, then he should have the courage to face these allegations and prove he is innocent in a court of law…. unless he knows he is guilty, and like Donald Trump attempt to frustrate the legal process with frivolous court case after court case. Only a guilty person would do that.I know this will get voted down, but those who do you vote this down, are ones who are not willing to face the facts of this case. So be it!
Donald Trump has his right wing MAGA Nuts; and Jullian Assange has his left Wing MAGA Nuts [Make Assange Great Again]… but are equally reprehensibly in their wilful ignorance of the serious crime their cult leader has committed.
good
A name to remember every time someone says that US doesn’t have political prisonner
UK: We’ll give you assange if you help us in our economy. Fair enough?
Long overdue
Well, torturers will finally get their pound of flesh.
good
He should run to Russia somehow hahaha
The west doesn’t prosecute journalists. Also the west…
Bro how are the comments here for Assanges extradition. I hope it’s just a he first commenters but holy fuck, what’s with you people here, is the US paying y’all or something?
Thats what you get for fucking with the big dog. Serves him right.
Good! Compromat scum. Take his father, too.
As long as the US has an anti ICC law no country in europe should extradite anyone to the US.
Clear and simple.
Good. Let him rot.
I don’t know how to feel about this. On the one hand, I respect that he’s willing to leak the unsavory things that go on behind the people’s backs. On the other hand, he’s the textbook example of a Russian shill and should therefore be shunned from society
Freedomland has a lot of breath to make some not-free.Manning, Winter, this prick.
Even back to Ellsberg and the pentagon papers in the 70s.Uncle Sam sure is a tenacious arsehole when it comes to stuff ye old beard would rather not be seen.
