From what I've heard, it wasn't a violation of international law: Ecuador withdrew sanctuary, then invited the Brits in to take him in to custody.

TakeYouToTasker Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Update: Third hand account, so take it for what it’s worth, but Assange is in British court as we speak, and it looks as though he is going to be extradited to the US.

Azalin Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 “There’s no basis to arrest him in London for the sexual assault investigation in Sweden,” said Napolitano. “He apparently has been charged with something in the United States. We don't know. Because of this inadvertent release of a warrant for him. That is probably the true reason for his arrest. He will probably be extradited here. We will see the indictment. And we will probably have a show trial.” https://www.foxnews.com/world/judge-andrew-napolitano-julian-assange-hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The (probably minor) hang up is that the Brits don't extradite to countries that have the death penalty. The US has to give assurances that they won't seek it. Meanwhile in Court for violating parole in UK, which carries up to a year. Apparently, Assange fell out with the new Ecuadoran regime and was acting like an ungrateful guest. This must have helped grease the skids. Though the other side of the coin is: The previous Ecuadoran Counsel was on BBC Radio this morning saying that Assange hasn't left his room in almost a year -- no visitors, computer, or phone calls allowed during that time, either.

Golden Goat Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Anyone remember the "insurance policy?" "On October 16th, John Kerry, who was then US States Secretary of State, flew to London to visit Julian at the Ecuadorian Embassy. The same day Wikileaks tweeted out 3 tweets each containing a different pre-commitment hash code. A pre-commitment hash is essentially an authentication key that provides you with a way of checking the integrity of an insurance files data. If the data has been changed the hash won't match. The first hash code to be tweeted was named John Kerry followed by Ecuador and UK FCO." Methinks some chickens are coming home to roost. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Of course Warner would chime in: Note - Assange does not = Russian intel. Never has.

If they'd argued "conspiracy to commit," that Assmange encouraged Manning to access the data, that'd be less inaccurate. But this charge is total bull####.

It'll be dropped when he provides information regarding other matters. That's my guess at the moment based on how coordinated this seems to be. Trump's statement just now from the Oval was telling: "I don't know Wikileaks, it's not my thing." Just like he didn't know Whitaker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 It is leverage. They had to get him on something so he can be extradited to the US. As others have said, his defense is that he was the publisher of factual information. The Supremes rules in the Pentagon Papers case that the publisher does not commit a crime as long as the information is factual and correct. What they need him for now is to get his testimony about where the Dems emails that he published came from. Its popcorn time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
