As they lecture us endlessly about human rights in other countries, the Biden administration is trying to kill journalist Julian Assange for the crime of embarrassing the CIA.
Julian Assange is on the verge of being extradited to the United States, where he would likely face a lengthy prison sentence for committing the crime of conducting journalism of which the U.S. government does not approve.
That’s not hyperbole; it’s really happening. Next month, Assange will receive the final word from the British government on whether or not he’ll be turned over to American authorities. His wife, lawyer Stella Assange, is leading the fight to prevent his extradition, and she joined Tucker Carlson Uncensored to give an update.
Stella's Place 
It’s difficult to determine what’s true and what’s false when it comes to Julian Assange. His imprisonment plight is horrible. I do think anyone being in prison without charges is illegal. And his time behind bars should be counted in his favor if he’s tried and convicted (it won’t be, though).
Thus, if the next President chooses to pardon Assange, I won’t be objecting. But I won’t be doing any letter writing to governmental officials in favor of it, either.
Here’s a short article which may be of interest….
Why Julian Assange Wasn’t Charged with Espionage

Well, I read your linked article and here is what I concluded:
1. The government doesn’t have real evidence to support the charge.
2. The charge was chosen so that they could use it later against journalists.
Questions I have:
1. If the government has solid evidence to charge Assange with espionage, why haven’t they?
2. Why would Mike Pompeo think that Assange should be assassinated, IF the government has solid evidence to convict and jail him?
Why is Assange still in jail if the charges against him were dropped? Surely he has served enough time for bail jumping, especially since the original charges no longer stand.

Some of my questions have to do with the supposed evidence that Mike Pompeo wanted Assange murdered? Who is the “whistleblower” that swore to this? Has the name been revealed? Is there a recording? In what context did Pompeo utter the request? Why didn’t it happen? It could easily have been a throwaway line and not an order.
Wikipedia has a lengthy article on Assange which seems well worth reading (I haven’t finished it yet). It’s got a huge amount of info about Assange’s background. I’m not convinced that Assange’s motives were all that altruistic. Then again, Wiki doesn’t have a particularly good reputation when it comes to the truth.
Also, did Carlson ask worthwhile questions? Personally I think he gave Mrs. Assange too much time to answer the questions he did pose and not enough prodding her to say something really important about the desirability of anyone hacking into the U.S.’s secrets.
Is a nation not allowed to have secret operations, not even good and honorable ones? Who has the right to reveal them and who makes the decision which ones are good and which are bad?
Lots and lots of questions.

Margaret Ratner Kunstler is the widow of William Kunstler, the notorious leftie. No crime, of course. But dealing with lefties should always be done with the understanding that their object is now and has always been the destruction of the U.S. by any means necessary.
Yes, absolutely, even lefties should never be thrown in jail without charge or a fake charge. That’s a given. It’d be real nice if they returned the favor.

No point in arguing about it. A federal judge is allowing the case to go forward. Regardless of the persons involved, there probably is some reason why he made that decision, and the CIA does have a track record. Do you really believe that the CIA wouldn’t do such a thing, because I think they would and probably did.

If Assange has truly broken the law, then charge him with espionage and get on with it. What is the point of keeping him in jail in perpetuity for violating bail on a charge that has been dismissed? If our government truly has evidence that Assange broke the law, they should have no trouble getting him extradited.

“The charge was chosen so that they could use it later against journalists.“
^THIS^ It certainly does look like he’s being held as an example to anyone who would dare speak ill of “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men”. The CIA is flexing its muscle, making an example out of Assange.
Was Mike Pompeo just thinking out loud, or is it more than wishful thinking? Time will tell. I would think that after making such a bold statement that Assange’s safety is almost assured, as anything happening to him will result in all eyes focusing back on that threat.

After watching the Carlson interview with Julian’s wife, my conclusion is “Free Assange.” The boondoggle in Afghanistan was worth uncovering; yet no one has paid for any of the corruption.
