In reply to the discussion: Can someone explain to me what Julian Assange has been charged with in the US [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)get an indictment of Assange on charges of Espionage. John Conyers actually opposed these efforts saying that he sees no laws that could justify this. I like the way you mis-characterized Conyers' reasons for saying what he did.
Otoh, the Vice President of the US has called Assange a terrorist. Several Elected officials have called for his assassination. Others, such as Diane Feinstein has written to the DOJ demanding that he be prosecuted under the Espionage Act.
Several Republicans have called for him to be arrested and brought here for trial.
To say that there is no threat of him being indicted and prosecuted here is simply to ignore the facts. Let them disband the GJ, let those elected officials who are calling for his prosecution retract their statements and THEN maybe, people will believe the attempt to deny these facts.
