30-40 year slam dunk sentence- forget about him.

Then an inmate murders him.

Or he's dungeoned to obscurity in Leavenworth.

Or they send him to Mogadishu... Maybe Uzbekistan.

She walks around and starts 35 million dollar hoaxes and calls on the speaker of the house to rally for impeachment because of a hoax basically a deep state coup. Fucking war of the worlds shit, Hillary's propaghanda isn't illegal but it is surely criminal.

Well, you know Trump is fighting the Deep State by doing this right? By imprisoning the guy fighting to reveal the evils of the National Security State, Trump is playing 150D chess against them!

"17 counts of violating the Espionage Act, with a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison. Exactly as Assange and his defenders have been warning would happen for nearly a decade."

Yet another proof that Trump follows the path paved by Bush. Clinton and Obama. His regime is just extension of the globalist/neocon regimes preceded him...

Rand's strategy here is politically expedient but rather spineless in calling for immunity in exchange for testimony.
 
Focus.

This cliche has become so tiresome. In fact, most of the sarcasm on this forum is just boring.
I think we're seeing more sarcastic comments on threads, than meaningful ones and it makes the forum dull and not worth reading.

Couldn't we make an effort to stick with posting comments that give details about significant events, with updates thereof? and answering questions when possible? and describing alternative perspectives on issues - which may be provide helpful insight?

I really want to keep track of what's happening to Julian Assange, but I come to a thread like this and see comments where people are just sniping at each over Trump being so far from perfect. Wasn't that always a given? Did anyone here ever expect things to turn perfect under Trump? I don't think so. Regardless of all the things Trump does which do not measure up to what I want to see, he will always be less damaging than Hillary Clinton. This is not group therapy and nursing grudges against Trump, serve no purpose.

If, and when, the time comes, i want to know what I can do to help Julian Assange.

That is from an interview that is almost a year old...didn’t find anything from Rand yesterday or today.

Senator Rand Paul Thinks Julian Assange Should Be Granted Immunity for Testimony
by Cassandra Fairbanks - August 15, 2018

Speaking to the Gateway Pundit, Senator Paul asserted that Assange likely has important information about the hack and that it’s unlikely he would agree to testify without immunity.
...
“I think that he should be given immunity from prosecution in exchange for coming to the United States and testifying,” Senator Paul told the Gateway Pundit. “I think he’s been someone who has released a lot of information, and you can debate whether or not any of that has caused harm, but I think really he has information that is probably pertinent to the hacking of the Democratic emails that would be nice to hear.”

Now Julian Assange Is a Martyr

Julian Assange, the Australian national who founded WikiLeaks, was indicted Thursday for soliciting classified information from an American whistle-blower in 2010 and publishing sensitive military files as well as State Department cables.

Unlike his source, then–Army Private Chelsea Manning, who pledged to protect state secrets to get a security clearance, Assange had no obligation to the U.S. government, and appears to be in legal jeopardy for some actions that are virtually indistinguishable from journalism.
...
The charges set a precedent “that can be used to target all news organizations that hold the government accountable by publishing its secrets,” the ACLU warns, adding, “If the US can prosecute a foreign publisher for violating our secrecy laws, there’s nothing preventing China, or Russia, from doing the same.” The civil-liberties organization says the Assange case marks the first time in American history that criminal charges are being brought “against a publisher for the publication of truthful information” under the Espionage Act of 1917.
...
That law “draws no distinction between the leaker, the recipient of the leak, or the 100th person to redistribute, retransmit, or even retain the national-defense information that by that point is already in the public domain,” the law professor Stephen Vladeck has noted. And that is only one of the reasons it ranks as one of the most flagrantly authoritarian laws in U.S. history.

Our First Amendment declares, “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” But in 1917, Congress made just such a law, the Espionage Act, in part to abridge the freedom to speak out against World War I.

It did so at the urging of President Woodrow Wilson...
