Will Assange stand by his pledge to give himself up following Chelsea Manning clemency?
Will Assange stand by his pledge to give himself up following Chelsea Manning clemency?
Now here is an interesting test of Assange's mettle. on Jan 13, Wikileaks tweated that Assange will happily face extradition to the US if Obama grants clemency to Chelsea Manning. Last night Obama effectively did that, by commuting Manning's 35 year term and it looks like Manning will be free in three months.
Assange's pledge was an interesting one, and given the love in between him and Trump, a cynic might suggest that some kind of backroom deal has been done between them.
One to watch for sure, not least to see how Sweden reacts.

Espionage is a hefty charge.
Trump is a cock.
I'd be staying right where i am.
30 years in prison or 30 years in an embassy.
Hmmmmm.

federal prisons are not that bad as far as prisons go.

30 years in an Embassy is not an option. The Ecuadorians are keen to get shut of him as soon as possible.bigphatt wrote:Espionage is a hefty charge.

I'm intrigued to see what he does. Either he or someone holding the Wikileaks Twitter account made a rash statement on his behalf last week, and it's put immense pressure on him. I can't stand the guy, but full respect to him if he does what it's been said he will do, but I suspect he will find a way to connive his way out of the promise.
Assange will be used as a whipping boy by the cockTRUMPet in an effort to prove that he is the man.. no faking!!!
Guantanamo Bay is not disneyland.
The Ecuadorians were keen to piss him off two years ago.. He's still there.

My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.
Whistle-blowing and exposing of serious criminal behavior by any government is one thing. Stealing hundreds of thousands of classified or personal documents and releasing them all just because you can without any thought or higher motive, or releasing them to other governments to promote their own agendas, is plain theft and/or espionage. Quite a large difference there.
I doubt Assange will give himself up, as who in their right mind would willingly spend probably a decade in prison minimum and possibly much longer. He is not that committed to his vague cause. He wants to be the rebel, not the martyr.

"The final straw actually involved my mortal enemy vladimir, who you may or may not know is an insufferable, overposting asshat."
Who are you talking about exactly? Assange has never stolen any documents. His organization merely publishes what they receive.Edwardo wrote:Whistle-blowing and exposing of serious criminal behavior by any government is one thing.
