She is not the liar, Sabrina. You have repeatedly falsified the state of this case. You have insisted repeatedly there are not charges against Assange. You have time and time again ignored legal evidence in the case. I posted the international arrest warrant, and you made an excuse about anything out of a British court being invalid because of the Pinochet appellate ruling. The warant was issued by the Swedish govt, not the UK. What you think of the courts has no bearing on the fact that there is a standing arrest warrant for Assange for sexual assault, a point you have repeatedly denied by saying there are no charges (check your own my posts box for links). The British court ruled on extradition. I read that rather long legal ruling in its entirety more than year ago because I wanted to know what the legal findings were. Meanwhile, you ignore all evidence in the case.
You also gave a false account of the very article you link to. Your claims that she lied are a complete fabrication. The fact is the accused rapist has been evading justice for four years. You will make up any excuse and any diversion to get away from the truth, all to persuade people an accused rapist should not face justice. Your whole argument that he shouldn't have to go to Sweden to face charges like any other defendant amounts to advocating for a society and judicial system based on inequality, where the men you think important get concierge justice and their victims are reviled.
There is a lot of dishonesty here, and it is not on the prosecutor's part. You really ought to be more careful before you call people liars.
There is no principle for you to advance. The Wikileaks info is in the public domain. This all about protecting one man, a man you think too important to be subject to the laws and procedures the rest of us follow. You then accuse someone of being a lair because she refused to treat your King to the concierge justice you think him entitled to. Swedish taxpayers should pay to send prosecutors to London because Assange is too important to have to move. Four years evading justice, showing clear consciousness of guilt.
You argue against equality before the law. You argue against equal treatment before the law, and you argue against the prosecution of an accused rapist. None of that is principled. Rather, it is unjust and anti-egalitarian. It is fundamentally an elitist attitude that advocates one set of laws and procedures for great men and another for the rest of us.
