... Why didn't he release it during the primaries, instead of during the GE cycle? Does he want Trump to win?

My guess is this is another nothing burger.... Again. Remember when Guccifer was the beginning of the end?

I wonder what is the status is of the rape trials that Assange is avoiding? pnwmom Jun 2016 #39

It wasn't "legitimate" rape. randome Jun 2016 #41

the whole case is bogus, politically driven, Marianne Ny (chief prosecutor) is a laughing stock here AntiBank Jun 2016 #61

He is resisting going through a trial in Sweden. I tried reading your links pnwmom Jun 2016 #63

there is no trial, he has not even been charged AntiBank Jun 2016 #65

That is not true hack89 Jun 2016 #135

they have categorically stated that that is a possibility, they refuse to AntiBank Jun 2016 #136

Let me see the government's actual words please. nt hack89 Jun 2016 #137

here you go AntiBank Jun 2016 #142

It doesn't say what you think it says hack89 Jun 2016 #143

you are just flat out wrong (and you do not understand our government and judicial system here) AntiBank Jun 2016 #146

Sweden's Ministry of Justice appears to disagree with you hack89 Jun 2016 #147

Sweden's Ministry of Justice appears to disagree with you <<<<< show me AntiBank Jun 2016 #148

Using a virulent Holocaust denier as an Assange defender is classy. Really classy. nt msanthrope Jun 2016 #85

what are you talking about? what Holocaust denier? AntiBank Jun 2016 #89

What Holocaust denier? How about the Wikileaks employee and noted Holocaust denier msanthrope Jun 2016 #91

I didn't post shit about or by Israel Shamir, take your lunacy and conspiracy theories elsewhere AntiBank Jun 2016 #94

You most certainly did....the honeypot/CIA defense was originated, without a shred of msanthrope Jun 2016 #96

the possible honeypot nature is far from the central point to all of this, Snowden released docs AntiBank Jun 2016 #99

Be careful of that one. Major Hogwash Jun 2016 #119

Ironic you toss this out, as one of Assange's accusers worked for a Swedish group who brought in AntiBank Jun 2016 #109

So you finally used google? nt msanthrope Jun 2016 #115

To very good effect, I'd say. You got it handed to you. DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2016 #116

Actually, no.... the fact that the poster chooses to go after the victim is instructive. msanthrope Jun 2016 #120

Yes. That is what is being suggested. randome Jun 2016 #125

I am going after the entirety of all the events AntiBank Jun 2016 #131

No....you aren't. The fact that you repeated the narrative of a Wikileaks employee regarding the msanthrope Jun 2016 #139

no AntiBank Jun 2016 #140

It is you who used the story of a virulent Holocaust denier. It is you who suggested the msanthrope Jun 2016 #141

and its you who cherry pick any angle, first off by seizing AntiBank Jun 2016 #145

Racketeer says fugitive rapist will be Hillary's worst nightmare? Lord Magus Jun 2016 #47

Assange is not a rapist, you have very little understanding obviously of the case here in Sweden AntiBank Jun 2016 #73

For someone who lives in Sweden you don't seem to know how criminal investigations there work YoungDemCA Jun 2016 #103

because he is a target of an bogus, arbitrary investigation (the United Nations says so) AntiBank Jun 2016 #105

I'm sure Assange, like most rapists, does feel that the investigation is bogus YoungDemCA Jun 2016 #107

lol, still on with the smears, well goodbye to you, you dont even have the intelligence to put in AntiBank Jun 2016 #110

That's not what the report says. lapucelle Jun 2016 #127

No, it also says the case is arbitrary AntiBank Jun 2016 #132

Here is the US we call that waiting out the statute of limitations. lapucelle Jun 2016 #123

you are conflating issues AntiBank Jun 2016 #133

It's telling that Assange jumped bail. YoungDemCA Jun 2016 #55

The phrase you're looking for is: "a unique perspective on criminal justice". brooklynite Jun 2016 #71

he DID NOT jump bail, the case had been dropped when he left Sweden AntiBank Jun 2016 #75

Yes.....he did jump bail. That's why bail was forfeited by those who put it up in the UK. nt msanthrope Jun 2016 #86

I was referring to Swedish case, not the UK bail AntiBank Jun 2016 #90

Bail was never set in Sweden. But, he gets to go to jail in the UK for jumping bail, a crime msanthrope Jun 2016 #92

The Swedish government has said nothing of the sort. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #95

they refuse to offer a non extradition guarantee, and there possibly is a sealed indictment AntiBank Jun 2016 #98

It was dropped and then reopened. lapucelle Jun 2016 #128

I know this, thats was mentioned in my first posts AntiBank Jun 2016 #130
