Julian Assange’s cat is safe — but we had some theories about its fate

Petty revenge?
He broke the law by breaching his bail conditions, costing taxpayers about £16m, he's frankly lucky to only have got 50 rather 52 weeks.
And we're off...!Sweden reopens Assange rape inquiry

Sounds like he's fucked - he should have gone to Sweden while he had the chance.
That is absolutely fucked.The Independent: Julian Assange: US announces 17 new charges against WikiLeaks founder.
US announces 17 new charges against Julian Assange
Nope. I agree with you on the substance - yes to facing charges in Sweden, not to American extradition. But the 'sensational' stories have been an antidote to the veneration of Assange that takes place on the 'left'.That is absolutely fucked.
This thread seems more like Daily Star reader shit, tabloid sensational stories about his alleged personal hygiene.
He should absolutely face charges in Sweden but there is no way he deserves death in a US prison.

"The WikiLeaks founder faces a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison in the US if convicted of all the charges against him."
New US charges against Julian Assange could spell decades behind bars
tbh he didn't do your actual leaking but he did publish classified info which according to the toady programme is something which if not unprecedented is something unusualAnd is it the US's fault that he's unlikely to make it to 250?
The penalties under US law for anything to do with the leaking of classified information have always been very harsh, if he didn't like the odds he should have just stuck to bad sexual etiquette....

What he is alleged to have done is not publish the leaks, but conspired with and encouraged someone to steal classified documents. That's what will see him sent down. That is what makes him not a journalist, but a co-conspirator to the very serious crime of stealing classified documents.
I think.
well spotted. those are in addition to the charges for publishing which if you look again you may see highlighted.The first count is a charge for conspiracy, as is the 18th.
you've outdone yourself with this strawmanThe disclosure charges on their own would amount to an assault of journalism. Combined with the conspiracy charges it doesn't.

i've not mentioned anything about ja and journalism, please see whether you're confusing me in this instance with someone else.Merely publishing it is significantly illegal, but as Bahnhof Strasse says, the allegations from the US is that he didn't just get them in the post and then publish them, he asked for them, made it clear what he was looking for, and helped both get the stuff, and to (unsuccessfully) cover the tracks of the person doing the leaking.
His position isn't far from that of a GRU officer managing an agent within an enemy organisation. When the agent gets pinged, the GRU officer would be on a plane to his new, surprise posting in Tashkent - because he and the GRU know that if he gets apprehended, he'll go down for 200 years.
The journalism thing, for me, doesn't hold because Wikileaks has never been an impartial speaker of truth unto power - it's a vehicle for an ego, and it's relationship with the Russian state is far too close for even the pretence of journalism.
why can't i highlight the charges which substantiate my post?You can't just single out & highlight selected charges, well you can, because you have, but that's wrong, the charges are all inter-connected.
