What charge would the UK be able to arrest him on exactly? Expand Almost immediately after the decision by Swedish prosecutors, British police announced that they would nonetheless arrest Assange if he tried to leave the embassy. Police said Assange was still wanted for the crime of “failing to surrender” — meaning that instead of turning himself in upon issuance of his 2012 arrest warrant, he obtained refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy. The British police also, however, noted that this alleged crime is “a much less serious offence” than the one that served as the basis for the original warrant, and that the police would therefore only “provide a level of resourcing which is proportionate to that offence.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 6181 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Ok, so they'll step it down. Just let him go ffs, Wikipedia is an impartial force for truth, and I honest to fuck don't understand why some people, especially those in the supposedly independent media, have a problem with him or the organisation.

Expand Aka the Johnson defence. Seriously though, in this case Sweden dropping the case says nothing about his guilt or innocence. Also seriously, there's something sleazy about him imo.

Dr Gloom 24019 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Was the timing of it, the way it was released, impartial? Or was it designed to get trump in the White House? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 What was the more journalistically professional decision. 1) Wikileaks publishing Clinton emails it had been provided once they were authenticated. 2) New York Times sitting on George Bush illegal wire tapping evidence at his request in the lead up to his re-election Personally I believe it's the responsibility of news organisations to report newsworthy information they have regardless of political pressures or fallout.

Happy Face 29 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 He was defending his connections to Hannity on that intercepted podcast I linked to.
