must be a chance they can get him on one charge then add some extra charges with something like a 200 years to life sentence . a while ago i recall watching some american politicians who wanted him executed.

that's the supposed liberals, what are fox calling for? probably him being hung, drawn and quartered.

i see the president doesnt appear to know who julian is despite praising him when on the election trail, tremendous

this is going to be Trump vs the US law enforcement and justice system at it's most extreme

I do not think anything Assange divulged risked the United States security

But it did embarrass them

As I understand it the extradition laws require the US to provide any and all charges they have for Mr. Assange to the UK Government. Under the 2007 Treaty they cannot add charges when and if Mr. Assange is extradited to the US.

I watched the original case against Assange unfold online (on various 'alternative' forums) and my understanding is that he was given warning that the police were looking for him for 2 sexual crimes (the 2 women didn't know eachother but bumped into eachother at the conference Assange was the star speaker at and had strikingly similar stories of what he is alleged to have done) and that he needed to report to a police station. Instead of doing that he left Sweden straight away when if he had stayed to face the music for the sexual crimes of which he was accused (there were many stories/rumours prior to this breaking of the sort of bloke he was around women that seem to have vanished) he would have bene questioned and probably allowed to leave the country for a trial (if needed)l a few months later. If he had pleaded guilty then he possibly might have had a short sentence but more likely he would have done some sort of 'rehabituation' course and that would be that - no U.S. warrant was issued then (though of course it may have been at a later date).
Instead of facing the music he ran from the sexual crimes he was accused of and spent far far longer in imprisonment (at the embassy) than he would have done had he faced the music at the start - and even the 'crimes' that america wants him for of about 5 years. Fair enough, jump on the 'freedom' and 'victim' bandwagon in his support but remember (in this time of 'me too') just who it is you might be supporting. When wikileaks started it was faceless (he didn't start it on his own and couldn't have done it without the team around him) and it was designed to be just that - faceless. At some point Assange decided he didn't like that and at that point he obviously knew he would be a marked man at some point in the future - this caused a schism at wiki and was at roughly the same time that various stories were emerging of his actions around women.
The ironic thing of course is that his hatred of Hillary Clinton (a powerful woman!) which caused him to side with Trump (safe in the knowledge that Trump wopialdn't win!) means that the administration that was (knowingly) directly helped by his actions is the one deciding his fate - whodathunkit?

The video reminded me of the unearthing of Sadam Hussein.

Didn't end too well for him.

not divulge

Hillary Clinton (a powerful woman!) only around other women

Went in as a 2nd rate narcisistic crusader for free speech, came out a 3rd rate impersonator of santa claus.

doughnuts have increased markedly in price, Reynard

I think the £6m is a figure plucked from thin air by the media.

Diane Abbot would have had it nearer £6,000 given what she claimed 10,000 plod would cost (LBC)

For breaking Bail conditions..not sure what he was on bail for?

If the Swedish Authorities still want him for alleged sex offences...he may be extradited to Sweden

But on no account should he be extradited to the USA for alleged Wikileaks offences, he would not get justice and probably not be

heard from again....I liked Wikileaks, I thank him for those
