But wait, anonymous internet experts have assured us the prosecutor can't do that!! riderinthestorm Mar 2015 #1

This is not good news for Assange hack89 Mar 2015 #2

That is all Assange has asked for! You're presuming his guilt riderinthestorm Mar 2015 #4

The prosecutor has said for years that the interview was the last step before arrest hack89 Mar 2015 #6

You are misunderstanding a basic legal fact of the case--this interview is the due process given in msanthrope Mar 2015 #7

No. I'm not. I know all of that perfectly well. Nt riderinthestorm Mar 2015 #22

It also puts Ecuador in an awkward position.. Although one wonders if Ecuador arranged this to msanthrope Mar 2015 #5

No--no one told you that. The prosecutor was under no obligation to do that. And the only msanthrope Mar 2015 #3

Oh FFS, plenty of DUers said she couldn't go. I'm not rehashing that old argument riderinthestorm Mar 2015 #21

So you advocate him running out the clock rather than msanthrope Mar 2015 #23

I'm not advocating anything. Simply pointing out the logical calculations riderinthestorm Mar 2015 #25

A person in Assange's situtation would get a fair trial. Unfortunately, he's also guilty as Hell... msanthrope Mar 2015 #28

It's already a fact that the prosecutor engaged in serious lies about his case riderinthestorm Mar 2015 #29

Care to cite that? Because the British courts heard Assange's msanthrope Mar 2015 #32

Yes, I seem to recall that line of reasoning. pa28 Mar 2015 #19

Interesting that he did not immediately accept the offer (nt) Nye Bevan Mar 2015 #8

Even more interesting they didn't make the offer 3 years ago. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2015 #9

Why would they? After he fled Sweden to avoid his scheduled interview, why would they msanthrope Mar 2015 #16

No. They are alleging it is because the statute of limitations is running out. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2015 #18

I think I'll take court evidence over some unverified leak. The EAW stands. nt msanthrope Mar 2015 #34

Criminal? Sweden is finally offering to meet with Assange after Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2015 #15

Bail-jumping makes you a criminal. You might dismiss the rape, but he is a bail-jumper. nt msanthrope Mar 2015 #17

There is no bail. He left (not fled) with Sweden's permission. Cayenne Mar 2015 #24

Um....you really want to claim there's no bail on Assange? nt msanthrope Mar 2015 #27

The 4 charges, as listed in the EAW, are filed after this interview, in keeping with Swedish law. msanthrope Mar 2015 #13

Well, that wasn't so hard now was it? pa28 Mar 2015 #26
