The judgement was made long before Assange even set foot in the US. This is just a show to try and deter other people from exposing their dirty secrets. If they could get Snowden, he'd be treated in the same manner for exposing their misdeeds. It's a rigged game.
- jasonvorhe 6y agoDo you have proof of that?
- YPCrumble 6y agoShouldn’t the burden of proof be on the government at this point that they wouldn’t do everything in their power to spy on citizens and punish people for trying to stop them?
- cptskippy 6y agoThe burden of proof is on the accuser not the accused.
- jessaustin 6y agoAssange is the one in jail. If "proof" had any chance of putting e.g. Pompeo in jail, we'd be happy to provide it.
- cptskippy 6y agoI'm not defending anyone. In my opinion everyone involved in this stinks. Everyone on both sides has been doing shady and questionable things.
- GVIrish 6y agoWhat judgement? This is an indictment. If the government can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and he is convicted, then that would be a judgment. These are simply charges that Assange would face if he is ever extradited to the US.
- empath75 6y agoSnowden undoubtedly committed a crime, I don't think even he disputes that.
- LockAndLol 6y agoDecades ago it wasn't a crime to own a slave, hit your wife or stop certain groups from voting. Now it is. Just because what Snowden did (whistleblowing) was a crime at the time, doesn't mean that it should've been / should be. Especially if he was given no recourse. IIRC there were others before him who tried to go through the "legal channels", but got nowhere.
