320. Assange wanted it cleared up right away, but the Swedish Prosecutor did everything in her power

Mar 2015

to make sure he never got his day in court.

First she refused to meet with him IN SWEDEN, over and over again, claiming she 'was busy', 'didn't have the cop who was sick' (Sweden only has one cop :eyes

Meantime he spoke to the Police in Sweden when they asked and cooperated fully with them.

Still trying to get the Prosecutor to meet with him, he extended his stay in Sweden. Still she refused to allow him to have his day in court.

Finally she told his attorneys he was free to leave Sweden and she would contact him when 'she had time'.

He in turn, hesitated, worried that she would not be able to do that. So he made sure she had his contact number in London.

Still she could not find the time to talk to him.

Until she began the lies.

The radical extremist lawyer for the women, stated that he was 'free to leave Sweden because no evidence of a crime had been presented in COURT.

COURT! Imagine, presenting evidence in COURT.

Lol, I just laugh now at those struggling so hard against the facts. I admit, I have a warped sense of humor when it comes to internet forums.
