- @pgeddington@www.threads.netThe is delusional spin. They managed to keep Assange behind bars without trial for five years, then got him to plead to a crime in a saga in which it was the USG using its own classifications system to try to hide its own war crimes, which Assange & Manning exposed.

- CNN• Evan Perez, Kyl...Inside the decadelong, global pursuit of Julian Assange that ended in a plea deal met with praise and scorn - CNN
- @meso@netzsphaere.xyzLmao it's really been 5 years since they imprisoned Assange with no trial
- @Balkingpoints@mastodon.onlineThe fact that Assange was jailed for 5 years, most likely factored in to the plea bargain. Some claimed he was a persecuted "journalist". Journalists don't go to work for the Kremlin on behalf of Trump. Assange feared extradition by an HRC administration. All about Julian, a-Ok to help a fascist get sworn in. The US charges were about prior hacking of govt servers & a release of informants info which put their lives in jeopardy. Again, a-Ok with Assange.
