Has Trump/Barr arrested Assange in order to bury evidence he holds?

[Grasswire2]

Everything of Assange's work is now under control of Barr's DoJ.

Think about it.

And things sometime happen to prisoners in federal lockup.

1. Yes

[Docreed2003]

2. I think you're potentially on to something

I seriously doubt he'll be used against trump!

5. It fits with what Trump is doing.

His sister the judge just resigned from her job so that she could not provide evidence about her family tax filings in an inquiry.

He is filling jobs with loyalists, such as the chief counsel for the IRS who he asked to be fast tracked.

Someone is working overtime strategizing all this protection racket.

It sounds very mobby.

6. About his sister. How does resigning a judgeship absolve her?

That part always gets to me. Like half of Twitler’s cabinet resigning to avoid scandal. The scandal still exists. Their misuse still exists. But they leave it all goes away

9. It goes away until January 2021.

Then the hammer drops.

3. The London Metropolitan Police have arrested him on an outstanding warrant (n/t)

4. Substitute Obama for Trump...

...and it's just like it was on DU five years ago...

[Vinca]

7. I don't think so. For all the Orange Fuhrer and his loyal AG know, Assange

has a copy of the pee tape somewhere ready to let loose. My first thought when I heard of the arrest was whether Assange might take down Trump.

8. +

10. No. I think the British will work him over for information before they

hand him over to the US.

[Instant Liberal]

11. The US didn't arrest him, the Brits did.

They have custody not the US. They won't make it easy for Trump's DOJ to get to him. I'll bet they're going to grill him on what he knows though. They want Trump gone as much as we do.
