The heat wave finally broke. I feel good. Then I remember Assange is free. I feel better. Then my cynical friend texts me to say something to the effect of "brilliant move by the U. S. Take the issue away from Trump, and now that he's free in Australia it will be much easier to kill him." The guy knows how to ruin my morning.
That "plead guilty" is not freedom. I would prefer to die but not "plead guilty" for something I haven't done. You were trained in the legal system, so you know very well what really is "pleading". As Lux presented in one of his pills here: #581259
Something is very fishy in all this story. I have the feeling that is all fake. They killed him and this is a double, playing their dirty game.

I don't know about that, but he had better find his own off grid citadel quick and stay out of the public eye.

I also felt something fishy.

Do you think we should add Assange on that famous island with M.Popescu and McAfee?

Definitely. He needs protection, and they need a calming influence.

But, he is right! He even didn't sleep last night just to give you the news and you calling him cynical....

I am an ingrate. He was safer in that Ecuadorian embassy.

Wow! Embassy! He is really safe!

Will the years spent in detention be credited towards the defendant's prison sentence?

My earlier guess wasn't 100% accurate. This is from Celia Farber's substack:

interesting, Vatican citizenship in fabula :)

It wouldn't make him on equal grounding, though.

I think he gave up too early, if he held up a bit longer I bet he would have better terms as he was literally testing their patiences. Plus he's going back to Australia, like WTF they aren't that much better then the U.S.

Thanks for clarifying.

From what I read it's all done. He was sentenced to "time served." If that's true, they may not specify what counts. In other words, the embassy time might not count. Probably just since the extradition started.

Your friend must be smitten by Rachel Maddow

He is ! He is very attracted to her. Let's leave it at that.

LMAO
Can you imagine relying on this network for news and analysis???
I remember when Keith Olbermann had a popular show. My reaction was this is a sports news guy. He was funny when commenting on sports

I couldn't stand Keith Olbermann. Lawrence O'Donnell is almost as bad.

O’Donnell: listen to me, I sound so smart and serious, I must be correct

Sounds like an intense comment

It was.
