Julian Assange Arrested on U.S. Extradition Warrant, London Police Say

White House adviser Kellyanne Conway On Sunday said she did not believe President Donald Trump had advance knowledge that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was going to be arrested by the British police and charged by U.S. prosecutors."Not to my knowledge," Conway told NBC's "Meet the Press" show, when asked if Trump knew ahead of time about Assange, who last Thursday was hauled out of the Ecuador's embassy in London where he had taken refuge since 2012 to avoid extradition.

"I object to the question and refuse to answer on the grounds that the question is in violation of my First, Fourth, and Sixth Amendment, and other statutory rights."

Some animals are more equal than others. The Bill of Rights is only acceptable when it a Democrat or affiliated operative, like Lois Lerner or Imran Awan.
 
I hope he gets pardoned, but we know how corrupt the US currently is. Whistleblowers should not be treated like this, but our sense of liberty is skewed. This is what happens when we create multiple loopholes in the law to ensure that people who expose corruption aren't covered by things like free speech.

Think about how corroded our rights are! The Fourth Amendment has suffered tremendous damage since the 60s, when through the course of a criminal trial it was decided that cops only need a search warrant if you have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" about something. Later, when one defendant attempted to overturn his sentence, saying that no warrant was used to acquire his bank statements, the court simply said that because the information about his finances was being held by a third party, he had no reasonable expectation of privacy, therefore no warrant was needed. How badly do you think Assange's rights were violated in the quest for evidence against him?
 
Who would of thought that this arrest would have happened under Trump. You'd think this would only be possible if Hillary was president.
