Julian Assange is dangerous. As shown with the nearly 1 million documents gay-boy Bradley Manning stole, that Assange put on wiki leaks. He is no friend to us.

This is a scam.

They are going to make a deal with him - repudiate what you said about not getting Hillary’s leaks from Russia, and try to pin the blame on Trump.

That way the Rats get cover to try for impeachment.

They NEVER QUIT.

That’s ALL THIS IS.

In addition to a way to kill Wikileaks and prevent further truth from coming out about what the Rat party and it’s criminal overseers are doing.

I believe he is still wanted in Sweden and they would have the first shot at him.

I think the Swedish situation may have been straightened out.

He is not in any position to do that, nor should any such stipulation ever be granted.

The Swedes also want to talk to him.

Or he can sit in that apartment for the rest of his life.

The only thing Julian has going is he doesn’t release Fake News. Hard to believe he’s not a Liberal Cause de Celebre.

Assange is a hero. 99% of what he released was the US government hiding their crimes and their acts against the American people. They revealed the NSA illegally spying on US citizens. Clinton and Obama knowing and being fine that ISIS was funded by the Saudis. Guzman and Sinaloa giving 20 million to Clinton. A ring of pedophiles in DC and high in our government. Clinton saying she had one position for the public, and the real one for bankers.

Thank God for Assange.

Wonder if a pardon can be treated was a legal precedent.

Exactly, he is an idiot if he comes here now. They will lock him in Quantico pending Kangaroo FISA secret trial with a predetermined outcome.

He needs to just relax until a sane British government or US Government lets him walk. Either that, carefully work on a solid escape plan, execute it, and get to safety in Russia before they know he is missing.

He is in a good position to do it if he carefully plans it.

At the very least he should wait until Trump has been in office for a couple of years and see how the swamp draining is going. A better bet would be to wait until Trump wins re-election in 2020.

Julian claims Sweden has confirmed they have absolutely no case against him. Appears the only thing that keeps the story going as the Democrats and their bluster.
