I think the article linked to below is about as good as there is about the Sweden nonsense. He has been charged with nothing for good reason and the case was dropped for good reason. The idea that he is under no risk of extradition to the US if he goes to Sweden is nonsense, their track record is clear. If it were about the case then remote questioning would have been fine and if there were charges to be filed they could have done. But it's clearly about getting him to the US and muddying his name with vague allegations that resonate with his core constituency on the left.
- MrScruff 14y agoWe can all find articles supporting one view or another. I'm not sure if this discussion is headed anywhere useful though. You may regard the proceedings against him as 'nonsense', and 'clearly' an attempt at mudslinging. But in reality neither of us can know either way, it's all supposition.
