175. Wrong, AGAIN. What is in black and white is the FACT that Assange was interviewed by the

Tue Dec 2, 2014, 11:16 AM

Dec 2014

Swedish Police as soon as the asked him for an interview. And the FACT that he contacted the Prosecutor several times, stayed in Sweden way past the time he was scheduled to leave, TRYING to get an interview with the prosecutor.

What the lawyer testified to was HIS contact with the prosecutor which he failed to reveal to Assange.

Considering that Assange repeatedly ASKED for an interview, even after the Prosecutor told him he was free to leave Sweden AND she would contact him when she had time, you are struggling hard to try to avoid admitting that THERE ARE NO CHARGES FILED after YEARS of claiming to have a case. The question is why, why can you not simply admit what the whole world KNOWS to be a fact. It is a fruitless waste of time.

The other lie told by the prosecutor is that she has to conduct that interview in Sweden. NO, she does not. It is a game that is being played in order to avoid actually filing charges that are false, where under oath, as their own lawyer has admitted, the case doesn't stand a chance.
