Perhaps he missed this (Nov. 2018): A court document filed by mistake has revealed that the [US] Justice Department has filed undisclosed criminal charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The prosecutor wrote that the charges and arrest warrant “would need to remain sealed until Assange is arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and can therefore no longer evade or avoid arrest and extradition in this matter.” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/accidental-filing-indicates-indictment-prepared-julian-assange-n937036 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the indictment will become unsealed the moment he steps outside the protection of the embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US democracy at work. Utter unadulterated hogwash. If the US wishes to get their hands on Assange while he is in the UK, the US needs to issue a lawful international arrest warrant. Subject to warrant meeting the legal requirements the UK police will arrest Assange. From then on Assange has the absolute right to challenge his arrest and detention in open court of law. Once arrested, the US can apply for extradition under the US/UK extradition treaty. Once again Assange has the absolute right to challenge the extradition in open court of law. The UK will not extradite anybody to the US without binding agreement that they are not sent to ‘Gitmo’, do not face the death penalty. Throught the time from arrest to extradition Assange remains under the protection of British law and European Human Rights law. He has the absolute right to due process and challenge any part of his arrest, detention and extradition in open court of law. Away with you and your conspiracy hogwash.

Roger Stone’s indictment has put a stop to that, ‘Assange’ and the ‘Trump Campaign’ are named as Co-conspirators. Trump will keep his ‘pardon power’ gunpowder dry for himself and only himself.

The real culprit is the US government and the secret services, he merely blew the whistle on them. If anyone should be lawfully arrested and prosecuted it’s them. Besides, the US have no jurisdiction in the UK, therefore the “lawful arrest” wouldn’t be lawful after all and therefore kidnapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is arrested in the UK it will be for failing to surrender to his bail and possibly immigration offences for overstaying his visa, that is unless their are any extradition warrants still current. The failing to surrender to his bail could get him sent down for 12 months, those who think he should be let off because the extradition warrants have been dropped are wrong, he committed a crime, there may be mitigating circumstances but they do not make him innocent. Someone should tell him he needs change of scenery and HMP Dartmoor is nice at this time of year. https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/web_Fail_to_Surrender_to_Bail.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to your day job. The known US indictments naming Assange relate to his part in the Russian interference in the US election. Your argument that the US has no jurisdiction in the UK is as I explained to you and correct. How you then leap back to your ‘kidnapping’ hogwash is beyond logical explanation.

Well in my case, DFAT stuffed up which meant I had to supply more evidence of identity, and then the application seemed to disappear somehow. Only after putting in an official complaint did anything happen but one thing that is consistent whether you apply in Australia or overseas is that you have to apply in person. So how did Assange apply in person while hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to remember that line if ever needed. That's an easy one to remember, especially in recent weeks: Manafort needs a wheelchair to go to court, Michael Cohen is escorted by his little daughter who walks with a crutch, like poor Tiny Tim. Cheney attended Obama's inaugural in a wheelchair, which I think was to avoid standing for the new you-know-what president. I'm expecting Stone to show up for trial in a gurney and hooked up to a respirator. The trend was set by US mafioso. Oops! Another crime family analogy. Well, Assange is notorious for his bad hygiene, so there may be some basis for poor health, though probably exaggerated. I would guess that room he's been in all these years would make for an interesting science faire project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
