What "argument"? I've only stated the obvious. Google "wikileaks" and the "2016 US elections". The facts are not in dispute.Anyway, it doesn't look like you have a good argument. — Agent Smith

After 2016 the intelligence agencies realized they could get liberals and democratic partisans to spread their propaganda through the one issue that could get liberals to repeat anything - Russiagate. ... The claim that Assange’s source for the DNC emails was Russia was originally drummed up by a company called crowd strike that was forced to admit under oath they had no evidence the DNC emails were hacked at all let alone hacked by Russia.... This company was what the F.B.I relied on to make their claims that Russia was Jullian Assange’s source in 2016.... So to recap, the C.I.A. could not find connections between Assange and Russia, Jullian Assange and Wikileaks published documents that exposed and embarassed the Russian government, the firm behind the claims of Russia being wikileaks source in 2016 admitted they have no eviednece in court and four former intellegence officals belive the documents were leaked over hacked based on thier expertiese. ... This propaganda despite being entirely false has caused many liberals to now to hate Assange and see him as a far-right, Trump-supporting Russian agent. ... Anyone who repeated these claims has either wittingly on unwittingly taken part in a smear campaign against a journalist who has been tortured for his exposing of war crimes.
Assange is a king. — StreetlightX
This is a nice way to put it. What the US is doing to Assange is just a more drawn out version of what Saudi Arabia did to Jamal Khashoggi. Both victims of a brutal regime happy to crush dissent and anyone that would make them look like the violent monsters they are. — StreetlightX
I'm curious to see what happens to it. — tim wood
if you cannot tell the difference between the grotesque murder of the journalist and the effort to bring to justice Assange — tim wood
If you can't tell the difference between an effort to bring someone to justice and a farcical showtrial to gloss over attempts to silence journalism then you disqualify yourself from reasonable discussion. — Isaac
it's not like he's been gutted and carved up yet. — James Riley
Psychologically, he's been given the full discipline and punish treatment. But, sure, they won't be allowed to waterboard him. Probably. — Baden
You'd have to have a farcical showtrial first, before you could tell. — James Riley
