because we are a nation of laws after all, even when it's inconvenient...

Unless you're talking about the 4th amendment right to privacy and the NSA with its illegal data collection. Or unless you're talking about BO handing out pardons like fucking candy.

One rule for plebs, another rule for the government.

Nation of laws my ass

Charge him, plea to 'whattheFevah', and then immediately someone of largish stature hand delivers the Pardon, offers Mr. Assange a position or other accommodation.

By what right does the United States have to charge someone of breaking any laws outside of the United States?

At some point you either believe in the sovereignty of the state... or you don't. You can't say how "The US will not be beholden to the laws of the Hague or the UN." while at the same time saying "Everyone on the planet is beholden to the laws of the US."

This is obviously a very hypocritical stance. Technically, I can agree that Snowden might be charged, because he actually is a US citizen who maybe broke US laws while on US soil. But Julian Assange is NOT a US citizen, and anything he did was not on US soil. If you want to charge anyone - charge the US citizens who sent him info.

At some point, Americans will have to realize that their laws stop where their borders do. And if they don't - then they have no right to fight against agenda 21 or any other laws that the world tries to impose on the US. Either you believe in state sovereignty or you don't. Which is it? And if you do believe in state sovereignty, how can you support an indictment of someone who did nothing on US soil?

Very well said. Thank you for framing things based on a principled stance.

I really think this is a way to free him, bring him to US and protect him.

Riiiiight.... and I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

Assange has been stuck in the Ecuadorian embassy for years because he was afraid that they were using the pretext of a sexual assault (which even the woman at the center of the controversy finally said it wasn't an assault) to extradite him to the US.

If you want to protect someone - you don't indict them and ask for an extradition. You speak with them and get their approval for how to best keep them safe. If Assange is ever extradited to the US - he will probably meet the same fate as Whitey Bulger recently did.

Oh please. Americans have their heads rammed so far up their own asses due to brainwashing they'll never fucking realise this.

The average American makes the average Chinese citizen look positively calm, balanced, and well informed regarding the state of their own country and the outside world. It's hard to imagine how a group with an average IQ so purportedly high could possibly manage to be that fucking uneducated, but they still manage it.

Their view on the world is the definition of "one rule for me, another for thee". What else would you expect from a nation of pets of the chosen people?

I agree - but I just wish that Q would address this at some point. It's all nice and good if Q is working with the NSA to clean up the swamp and working for unity. But if after doing so, they go back to pushing US hegemony over the entire planet... then what was the point? They'll just sink right back into the swamp they got out of.

I don’t think he broke ANY laws. He published leaked info. He should be pardoned for anything they try to stick him with. He should be given a medal and set as the prime example for all journalists going forward. Wikileaks has never published a false document. Unheard of in today’s fake news world!

It seems that he's been indicted for something... so that's for the courts to decide.

He is a whistle blower. That's not a crime.

He’s a publisher and one of the brightest minds on the planet.

But Pamela Anderson could have been a bio weapon. Time for a mold, fungus, bacteria, yeast, mycoplasma, pathogen, protozoa protocol.

If he has been indicted then it will be up to our courts to decide.

I was replying to the anon who said HE thought that Assange should have to go to a minimum security prison for a small bit. That wasnt a courts opinion. That was the anons; to which, I disagreed, and suggested a common sentence reduction used by our courts known as TIME SERVED.

Excellent point. And perhaps ease him back into the world, i.e. transition him. That actually seems almost kind.
