Please don't speculate, simply to get to the point of the hearing Assange is having now The US needed to provide:
>a prosecutor's affidavit describing the facts of the case, including dates, names, docket numbers and citations, and preferably executed before a judge or magistrate (particularly if extradition is sought from a civil law country)
>copies of the statutes the fugitive is said to have violated, the statutes governing the penalties that may be imposed upon conviction, and the applicable statute of limitations
…
>… certified copies of the arrest warrant (preferably signed by the court or a magistrate) and of the indictment or complaint
>… evidence of the identity of the individual sought (fingerprints/photographs) and of the evidence upon which the charges are based and of the fugitive's guilt in the form of witness affidavits (preferably avoiding the use grand jury transcripts and, particularly in the case of extradition from a common law country, the use of hearsay)

- carterehsmith 7y agoWait, what is this "everycrsreport.com" -- is that some kind of authority on.. things? Should we trust it? If so, why?
- mzs 7y agoIt's a search engine for Congressional Research Service Reports and is easier to copy/paste from into HN than the PDFs themselves: https://crsreports.congress.gov/search/#/0?termsToSearch=98-958&orderBy=Relevance&navIds=4294967262 https://crsreports.congress.gov/search/#/0?termsToSearch=98-...
- carterehsmith 7y agoThanks... though I think it would be great to refer to original sources, rather than some random site that adds... what value? They do add Google Analytics/tracking, I would not consider that "added value".
- oh_sigh 7y ago> CRS is Congress’ think tank, and its reports are relied upon by academics, businesses, judges, policy advocates, students, librarians, journalists, and policymakers for accurate and timely analysis of important policy issues. The reports are not classified and do not contain individualized advice to any specific member of Congress. (More: What is a CRS report?) > Until today, CRS reports were generally available only to the well-connected. The original sources have not been generally available to the public.

- jonathanstrange 7y agoNothing I've said was based on speculation. It is not the purpose of extradition hearings to determine whether the accused is guilty or not.
