Assange's Safe Haven At Risk!

[tennman]

QUITO, Ecuador (TNS) — There’s more at stake in Ecuador’s presidential election on Sunday than whether the leftist legacy of outgoing President Rafael Correa will be extended with a victory by his former vice president.

If pro-business candidate Guillermo Lasso upsets former Vice President Lenin Moreno, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy for five years, is likely to lose his safe haven.

Correa granted Assange asylum after accepting his argument that a Swedish arrest warrant on sexual assault charges was politically motivated.

Lasso takes a decidedly different view. On Feb. 20, a day after he finished second to Moreno in the first round of presidential voting to qualify for Sunday’s runoff, Lasso was reported by Agence France-Presse as saying the London embassy “isn’t a hotel” and that Ecuador was in no position to indefinitely finance the Australian-born Assange’s care and feeding. full story

Trump owes him a pardon. Dude made his presidency possible with wikileaks on Podesta's emails.

For posting a 6 year old video that contradicts his current beliefs?

In another thread, I posted a Trump quote from 6 days ago that contradicted something he said today. The difference is that a lot happened in 6 years to change Trump's mind on wikileaks, whereas nobody can show me anything that has happened in the last 6 days to change his mind on that issue - and it turned out that the "quote" from Trump that came out today may have been typed by Rinse Pubis. If not, it was likely done for strategic purposes.

Trump likes what is good for Trump at the moment. During the election, Wikileaks was beneficial to Trump so he liked them. Leaks about opponents- good. Leaks about his side- bad.

I have to grant you that too - he's not principled. He's the joker the elites allowed to run against Hillary to ensure her victory.

[edit] and thank god he won
