content: You only have to read the reports to see blatant unequivocal corruption.  The Swedish arrest warrant most likely wasn't valid. Only the prosecutor issued it unilaterally. In the court documents the just writes his reasoning and openly states that he ruled against Assange based on a guess. That immediately justifies skipping bail. Equador gets a big cash injection then the president on video openly admits he cashed Assange out because he was upset about an article wikileaks wrote about the Pope. They also shipped his property from the embassy to the US authorities, the people they were meant to be protecting him from to help them extradite and prosecute Assange. UK home secretary in effect admitted that Assange should face justice for wikileaks.  The list goes on and one but what's remarkable is the US case against Assange is very much the same situation as the Trump impeachment. In the Assange court case it makes a lot of charges. The core charge is that Assange entered into an agreement with Manning to crack a hash stored on a DOD server for the purposes of being able to better cover his tracks extracting material from the system. The problem is the transcript of that chat doesn't support that. There was no quid pro quo. Manning just tossed a password at Assange and asked if he could take a look at it. There was no agreement other than that he would pass it along, it was not stored on a DOD server while being cracked, it was not even cracked to anyone's knowledge and it's clear from the chat exchange that Assange had no idea exactly what the hash was about. There was also no guarantee of the password being given back once cracked and no purposes were stated. The only real charge that would be supported by the transcripts, the hard evidence, is that Manning among many other things also leaked a partial crossword to Assange which Assange dared to pass along to someone to have a crack at. When you see how commonplace and widespread the corruption is then you have to wonder if we can trust our justice system at all. There's got to be a lot of innocent people in our jails that are effectively political prisoners.
