WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces what could be his final court hearing in England over whether he should be extradited to the United States to face spying charges.

“Julian has been indicted for receiving, possessing and communicating information to the public of evidence of war crimes committed by the U.S. government,” his wife, Stella Assange, said. “Reporting a crime is never a crime.”

    If assange wanted everyones support, he shouldnt have made his outlet so crazily right wing.

    It started out more neutral, but when you do things like not release the RNC emails after releasing DNC emails, then youre agenda is clear and youre not the “pure source of information” or whatever he thought he was

      Well, to be fair, his biggest leak was probably about the Iraq war, which was an RNC adventure. Though as time went on, it did seem that he started to align with Kremlin social media campaigns.

      It’s impossible to tell if this was because he always was working with them as sources or if he was driven to Russia as an out due to being hunted by the west.
