Another example of political persecution.

Bokhari: Julian Assange Is Anarcho-Tyranny's Victim Number One

In a recent speech, French presidential contender Eric Zemmour asked a pertinent question: "Why is the State so powerless against criminals, and yet so ruthless with honest people?"

The two unforgivable things that President Trump did during his term are:
1. Approve the continuation of the "Patriot" Act
2. Fail to pardon Julian Assange

I'm pretty sure Julian is a dead man if the US extradites him.

Julian Assange and Ghislaine Maxwell expose all sides of the political spectrum, hence the media's reluctance to cover it. It doesn't fit their narrative that only one side is bad, so they opt to ignore/censor it.

Still looking bleak for Assange.

Wasn't it Trumps admin that indicted him? Accoring to wikipedia:

Under the Obama Administration, the Department of Justice did not indict Assange because it was unable to find any evidence that his actions differed from those of a journalist.[118] However, after President Donald Trump took office, CIA director Mike Pompeo and Attorney General Jeff Sessions stepped up pursuit of Assange.[119]

In April 2017, US officials were preparing to file formal charges against Assange.[120] Legal scholar Steve Vladeck said prosecutors accelerated the case in 2019 due to the impending statute of limitations on Assange's largest leaks.[121]

Trump never had control over the Deep State. The FBI was still "spying" on him even AFTER he was elected because Clinton had sic'd them on him with the bogus Russian collusion accusation. The FBI continued lying to the FISA court and no one ever was prosecuted. That is all on Trump's DOJ. And that is why he should never have resigned the "Patriot" Act. If you can't prosecute the criminals in the FBI and DOJ, then you need to cut them off any way you can.

Previous Presidents used the DOJ, the FBI, and the IRS to harass people they disagreed with politically including Trump. Trump has been harassed by the IRS for years (even before he ran for president) and it continues to this day. Year after year they audit him, his businesses, and his families and associates and don't find any crimes but the harassments continues. Do you approve of YOUR government doing that? It's like the quote by Stalin's chief of his secret police - "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime". That's the entire purpose of keeping the trespassers from Jan 6th incarcerated for over a year for the crime of trespassing. They are searching, desperately for some crime these stupid people can be charged with, preferably one orchestrated by Trump.

Trump couldn't have sic'd his agencies on a political enemy if he wanted to because the agencies didn't work for him and so would not do his bidding and in fact, got into the leaking business instead which itself was a crime that never got prosecuted. They would never prosecute themselves for lying and leaking. It is their modus operandi. We should be defunding the FBI and the DOJ, not the local police.

As @Pat Hartman noted: "Trump never had control over the Deep State." Assange's indictment was a political hit job by the Deep State.

"Journalism is not a crime": Outrage over Assange extradition order

"Politically motivated" charges against Assange "should never have been brought in the first place," Amnesty International says.

Compare Assange's situation to that of Daniel Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers).

In late 1969, with the help of former RAND colleague Anthony Russo, Ellsberg began secretly photocopying the entire Pentagon Papers. He privately offered the Papers to several congressmen including the influential J. William Fulbright, but none was willing to make them public or hold hearings about them. So in March 1971, Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times, which began publishing them three months later.
When the Times was slapped with an injunction ordering a stop to publication, Ellsberg provided the Pentagon Papers to the Washington Post and then to 15 other newspapers. The case, entitled New York Times Co. v. The United States, ultimately went all the way to the United States Supreme Court, which on June 30, 1971, issued a landmark 6-3 decision authorizing the newspapers to print the Pentagon Papers without risk of government censure.

Consider that Chelsea Manning, formerly known as Bradley Manning, who provided the classified information to WikiLeaks had her/his sentence commuted by then President Obama. That makes the continued persecution of Assange somewhat questionable. This continued persecution would seem to demonstrates that the Deep State is sending a message:-> "You mess with us; we will destroy you".

President Obama has commuted the sentence of Army leaker Chelsea Manning

Manning, the transgender former Army intelligence officer, was sentenced to 35 years in a male military prison for giving classified information to Wikileaks. While in prison, Manning attempted suicide multiple times, prompting supporters and activists to plead with the president for her pardon...

"You mess with us; we will destroy you".

Seems to be exactly what is happening to the Jan6th people. As they are desperately trying to find something, anything to charge them with. Fits right into the "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime" philosophy but they reallllllllly want to somehow implicate Trump.

 

[Pat Hartman]

If Assange does end up in prison in the US, he should go the way Jesse Smollett went - shouting that he was not suicidal. Otherwise, he'll end up dead in his cell.

Extradition of WikiLeaks' Assange Approved by UK Home Secretary

UK Home Secretary Priti Patel approved the extradition of WikiLeaks' Julian Assange to the U.S., where he faces up to 175 years in prison.

“Julian did nothing wrong. He has committed no crime and is not a criminal. He is a journalist and a publisher, and he is being punished for doing his job.”

Another selective persecution by the government to stamp-out those who don't acquiesce to the "deep-state".

What a joke our "justice" system has become.

Trump should have pardoned Assange in 2020 or even earlier. Unless, Assange actually participated in stealing secrets, he was protected by the first amendment. And if he participated, then they should have charged him and put him on trial. The government was so embarrassed by what Assange published that they were simply trying to punish him.
