Irony Alert: Lawyers For Julian Assange Outraged That Details About His Sex Life Were Leaked

Oh, cry me a river…

Lawyers for noted anti-American anarchist and professional leaker Julian Assange are outraged that information on his sex life was leaked to the press.

His lawyers say they do not know who has given these documents to the media, but the purpose can only be one thing – trying to make Julian look bad. How tragic.

The Australian reported:

LAWYERS for Julian Assange have expressed anger about an alleged smear campaign against the Australian WikiLeaks founder.

Incriminating police files were published in the British newspaper that has used him as its source for hundreds of leaked US embassy cables.

In a move that surprised many of Mr Assange’s closest supporters on Saturday, The Guardian newspaper published previously unseen police documents that accused Mr Assange in graphic detail of sexually assaulting two Swedish women. One witness is said to have stated: “Not only had it been the world’s worst screw, it had also been violent.”

Bjorn Hurtig, Mr Assange’s Swedish lawyer, said he would lodge a formal complaint to the authorities and ask them to investigate how such sensitive police material leaked into the public domain. “It is with great concern that I hear about this because it puts Julian and his defence in a bad position,” he told a colleague.

“I do not like the idea that Julian may be forced into a trial in the media. And I feel especially concerned that he will be presented with the evidence in his own language for the first time when reading the newspaper. I do not know who has given these documents to the media, but the purpose can only be one thing – trying to make Julian look bad.”

LOL What goes around, comes around, Assange; or as the Bible puts it, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.”

I love the comments on this thread.

Oh I see, anarchy for everyone but him. Looks like he’s getting caught up in a web of his own making. He’s gonna be lucky if this is the worst that happens to him.

He ought to be thrilled, more of that transparency he going on about, just now the light’s shining on him. No secrets for anybody, even those national security ones which protect populations, right, asshat? So what makes your pitiful worthless self any better? Maybe somebody out there will hack all your pin numbers and financial records too, it was good enough for Mastercard and Visa and their customers, right?

"Mr. Assange, your private information has been leaked to the press! - No! - Yes! - Ohh!"

"It's all in the open now! - No! - Yes! -Ohh!"

"The game is up, your name is on the list and you're finished! - No! - Yes! - Ohh!"

No!-Yes!-Ohh!

Of course there are apparently no reports in the US press of any of these leaks save for a 1-line reference in the NY Daily News.

The US Fifth Column (media) are still on the warpath against the United States so anything to further that goal is OK with them.
