Should Julian Assange be pardoned?

Or assassinated!

Is Trump about to pardon NYT? They are probably more careful in choosing their associations and sponsors. It wouldnā€™t be surprising if Trumpā€™s DOJ was looking for reasons to prosecute but didnā€™t find any.

Wait is the government trying to get the NYTimes with the espionage act?

Under Trump, I assume they would if they could. But thatā€™s getting away from what keed said was the relevant question.

I donā€™t understand the Murdoch/Fox derail. Murdoch was born in Australia but is an American citizen now so nothing foreign about him. He actually naturalized because as a foreigner he couldnā€™t own Fox news. I wish Australia and UK had the same laws so they could get rid if him.

Did not know that.

Also, are you Dutch or Australian?

I am Dutch but been living in Australia for most of the last 20 years. Did go back to Holland at some point but the weather there just makes me depressed so I left for Australia again. All my family is still in Holland so I do keep track of what is happening there.

So the only order in that judgeā€™s decision is that Assange be released. Why does the article say that Assangeā€™s defense is trying to arrange bail? Was that order stayed pending appeal?

The USā€™s lawyers immediately said theyā€™d appeal and asked he be held in custody for it, thatā€™s what the bail hearing on Wednesday is about. Heā€™ll be held until then at least.

Same thing is true of a pardon, actually.

I wasnā€™t surprised, though a few people were saying they thought he would get bail this time round. I read the other day the appeal could be in April, though thereā€™s nothing in this story.

I also donā€™t know that I believe the Biden bit of this. Though if they think itā€™s a foregone conclusion, maybe?

I am mixed because Assange is a huge prick and bad human.

And a Russian asset who coordinated with Putin to help Trump win the election, so also that.
