Assange has requested political asylum & is in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London

283. Technically, you are correct that 'charges' have not been filed.

But since nearly every story about Assange uses the word 'charges' instead of 'allegations', it should be easy for understand why the word 'charges' gains traction.

Regardless of the semantics involved, Assange is still wanted by Sweden. An arrest warrant was issued. An extradition order was issued. Australia issued a 'declaration of abandonment' meaning they don't think the issue is worth fighting.

So if there is a conspiracy, it would need to involve the following: Karl Rove, the governments of Sweden, Australia and the United States.

And if anyone wanted to 'get' Assange, they would not have concocted this ridiculous conspiracy to 'embarrass' him, knowing he could drag the matter out for 2 years.

We are mostly not arguing about 'facts' but our interpretation of them. I can look at the same facts as you and still see Assange as a narcissistic idiot. That's my opinion of the facts.
