(62,325 posts)facts. The US has a Grand Jury sitting for more than 18 months to try to get an indictment against Julian Assange under the draconian Espionage Act. This has been confirmed by his US Attorney who has documents to prove it.
We have also heard elected officials in this country call him a terrorist, and the world knows what that means by now.
Several US elected officials have demanded that the he be tried and convicted and executed, and others have outright called for his assassination.
One of those officials is Dianne Feinstein to her shame. She joins the rabid rightwing teabagger, Rep. Peter King in those demands.
He is LOATHED by the Far Right which is to be expected, he exposed the crimes of their war criminal heroes. Which is why the Left, long wishing that our own Media would have had the guts to do that, supports him.
There is further information now that the GJ has returned an indictment revealed in emails from the Security Firm, Stratfor.
I know you will either ignore all of this the next time there is a thread on Assange and state that you 'don't think the US is interested in him' once again. And I will post the facts once again.
It would be nice if you remembered them at some point though. Because facts are facts.
To be clear, the US is VERY interested in Julian Assange despite your opinion to the contrary.
