Get a gig with a Russian media outlet, again... See if Roger Stone has any work for him to do? See if GRU has any more deliveries it needs him to make? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/how-the-russians-hacked-the-dnc-and-passed-its-emails-to-wikileaks/2018/07/13/af19a828-86c3-11e8-8553-a3ce89036c78_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/how-t...

  Yeah I was gonna say, there's all sorts of media opportunities on the right for him. He will be fine.

  oh how his fans are going to get an awful taste in their mouth when they realize which side he is on

  Wikileaks had no "gig" with Russia Today. They produced the series tthemselves and it was picked up by various news channels - just not any mainstream Western ones (what a shock)

    RT funded it. https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/wikileaks-founder-to-host-kremlin-funded-tv-show-idUSTRE80P0TV/ https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/wikileaks-founder-...

      According to the article you link which was posted before the series aired, but not according to IMDB or Wikipedia which anybody could have edited with sources in the 12 years since: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2223847/fullcredits https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2223847/fullcredits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tomorrow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tomorrow (Or if you actually have a real source for "RT funded it" then you should update Wikipedia and IMDB)

        A real source? Reuters is one of the world's premier news agencies, and the piece literally has RT crowing about funding the production. Never ceases to amaze me the hoops that Assange cult members will jump through to deny inconvenient facts about their hero. Can only imagine what you come up with to justify Assange's pathetic insinuations about Seth Rich and his blatant anti-Semitism.

        You could retreat into invective or you could point me to a better source than an article that came out before the show even aired. Assange has enough fuming and frustrated detractors that a verifiable source saying his show was funded by RT would have made it into the Wikipedia and IMDB pages a decade ago.

If his brain still works he could take another tilt at the Senate.

Why would he have a prison term in Australia?
