Assange apparently thinks he should not pay for jumping bail to avoid facing the Swedish courts and a charge of contested rape, apparently supported by DNA evidence?
it's not up to me to let him go, or end his self imposed torment. So he can resume where he left off!
He should be extradited and sent to a prison hospital in the US. where any and all REAL medical issues can be adequately addressed/and overseen by his court-appointed defence team.
I would, given my druther interview him attached to a polygraph and observed by space-age, covertly deployed unbeatable lie detection. And could have already happened. His self imposed exile was of his making, not mine Ditto his criminal record!
I get that he does give a flying french frankfurt for what happens to his USED accomplice, Private Manning, who it seems has been reincarcerated for withholding evidence. And after the post pardon, miraculous recovery?
I'm not condoning any crime, by any party nor any cover-up of official crime. What I cannot abide is the hacking of a candidates personal email account for blatant political sabotage! And the alleged rapes! And where the unbeatable, covertly deployed, space-age lie detection would enable the truth to be revealed! And assist the court and justice no end!
It remains my contention that this man is not as represented, the second coming, just a bail jumping criminal, illegal computer hacker, quaking in his boots at the idea he may have to man up and face the consequences of his various illegal activities!
Moreover, given I'm not holding him! I cannot, therefore, decide or not whether or not he faces his accusers! It's not down to me, never ever was!
If it were he would receive justice in the form of a lead pill between the peepers. And trouble us, the treasury or justice no more.
