Shipped straight to the US as a peace offering and show trial to take the heat of Trump? Worst case scenario comes true. Electrical chair? :tdown: :tea:

If it's a Federal beef it would be lethal injection. I think they should put them through a wood chipper in the public square, as an object lesson to other miscreants.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Transparency and exposure of government malfeasance are noble causes. Helping Vlady Poots install Trump to the White House is unforgivable. Wood chipper sounds good to me.

Trump will surely protect him. He owes him a lot.

He'll put on a wig and walk right out. After all those years, those Brit cops guarding are surely getting sloppy.

Maybe assange has a get out of jail free card? He'd be dumb not to keep a few secrets close to himself.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Frump will do no such thing, he has no sense of gratitude to lower placed people... and he's at the top, always.

If Assange had any cards left to play he wouldn't have been hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy for 6 years.

Activist publishes 11,000 Wikileaks Twitter direct messages

An activist has published 11,000 direct messages on Twitter between the Wikileaks account and a group of its supporters.

The direct messages were published by Emma Best on her own website. Her Twitter account states that she is a journalist on the East Coast. Best has been critical of Wikileaks and has advocated for government transparency.
Some of the direct messages were previously published, but this is the first time all of the direct messages have been posted.

The messages show that Wikileaks wanted the GOP to defeat Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections.

"We believe it would be much better for the GOP to win," the Wikileaks account states to a supporter named "Emmy B" in one of the messages from 2015.

Another Twitter message from the Wikileaks account describes Clinton as a "bright, well-connected, sadistic sociopath."

Wikileaks had been accused of bias against Democrats during the election because of its release of hacked documents from the Democratic National Committee.

Critics believe that the documents released by the group were consistently helpful to the then-GOP nominee's campaign.

Best said in an exchange with the website Motorboard that she released the messages because she wanted to show how Wikileaks was working with other online entities to shape public discussions.

Why they didn't give him a lift out of the embassy building in the boot of a diplomatic registered vehicle is beyond me.

Interesting to see that the UK said it wouldn't honour any diplomatic immunity for him (if he was to step outside of the embassy; on the way to Ecuador, say). I wonder whether they had any legal grounding for stating that.

My guess is that personnel needs to be accredited by both sides as diplomats before being granted diplomatic immunity.

Unlikely though, or states could not pass off so many spies as "diplomatic personnel"

Ecuador cannot unilaterally declare that Assange is a diplomat and get him recognized as such in the UK or any other country--they can and did request that he be granted diplomatic status. There is no international law requiring a state to accede to such requests, and the UK's refusal of the request was legal. See 'Assange is Not a Diplomat'. The author of the piece is a barrister and former UK diplomat.

When a country sends somebody as part of their ambassadorial team who is actually a spy, they provide a good cover story and plausible basis for their entry as a diplomat. There's no way that Ecuador could have done that for Assange. It was blatantly obvious that they were trying to find a way to get him out of their embassy 'safely,' that is, without having to face whatever legal consequences might await him outside their protection.
