Julian Assange has been arrested by British police following his expulsion from the Ecuadorian embassy. Breitbart reports:
WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange was arrested in London on Thursday morning, after Ecuadorian diplomatic officials invited British police into the country’s embassy to apprehend the Australian.
Assange had been living in the embassy of Ecuador in London under diplomatic asylum since 2012, and was granted citizenship by Ecuador in 2017.
Ruptly journalist Barnaby Nerberka has been broadcasting live from the embassy since tensions escalated between WikiLeaks and the Ecuadorian government of Lenin Moreno last week, and captured the arrest on camera.
Last week, WikiLeaks said sources within the Ecuadorian government told them that Assange was due to be expelled from the embassy “within hours to days,” an allegation the Ecuadorians were quick to deny. It now seems those reports were accurate.
Assange has earned scorn from Democrats for his role in exposing Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and also neocons in exposing the surveillance state. His trial will focus on whether he helped hack into a US government network and expose grave national secrets that could endanger serving men and women.
Hillary Clinton’s father was head of the Detroit mafia at one time. Need I say anything more ….
That sounds like Russian troll product. He lived and worked in Chicago.
Free Julian Assange and Arrest Those crimes he exposed-!!! That is Justice-!!! Take Down the Deep State Now-!!!
We all know who’s behind Assange’s arrest. Isn’t it awfully coincidental that, just as AG Barr is testifying before Congress about his intention to investigate the many nefarious actions by the “intelligence “ agencies, Assange is arrested. This is another attempt by the deep state and the Left to divert attention from the real criminals who are beginning to get a bit nervous since the collusion and obstruction narratives against Trump have been, for the most part, been taken off the Democrats menu. They must feed on something else so between the absurdity of demanding Trump’s tax returns and now Assange, these are the new targets. However, as the layers of corruption are peeled away and more of these traitors are exposed, don’t be surprised if there are more “suicides”.
I just heard an interview with a Republican lawyer, formerly a clerk to Justice Thomas, who said her reading of the redacted Special Counsel’s report indicated to her that there was a strong case for impeachment by Congress. She said that not making a case for indictment of a sitting President was a standing policy of the Justice Dept and that this was a duty reserved for Congress, specifically the House of Representatives.
If Assange could do it, our enemies did it. All he did was expose the vulnerability of our computer networks. We ought to give him a medal.
Julian should be tried but remember the provider of the information, Chelsea Manning, was pardoned by Obama.
Chelsea Manning had everything Obama wanted in a woman.
But she’s back in jail for refusal to testify to a grand jury about Assange.
With due respect to differing views, I see Julian Assange as a hero against big government. Exposure of “secrets” of government is the best way to truncate its growth and incipient dominance.
Ditto.
Without him we may well have had a President Hillary.
He is not a US citizen and therefore, should not be expected to know/follow US laws.
Sorry, but considering his espionage activities, he was well aware of US laws.
Thank God for Julian Assange! And thank you Julian for exposing the Deep State, HRC, etal. Without you we would still be in the dark!!
The truth hurts and these people do not want the truth to be found! I pray that the truth will prevail and not a continue of all these lies that have gone on too long and too costly for our nation. May the truth about these destruction ones that have penetrated our nation over the last 30 plus years be found out and we can once again be a free nation as well as Julian before he is mysteriously dead.
The conservatives dislike exposing secrets that may or may not should have been exposed and democrats for what he could expose about Seth Rich. Any whistleblower worth listening to is going to ruffle a few feathers.
Do not refer to him as ‘deep state”,,,he is nothing of the sort. He is out there trying to reveal the corruption.
You read it wrong. The statement was that he was an enemy of the deep state. And every true conservative in this country is an enemy of the deep state, Our president is an enemy of the deep state. Any one, that wants every thing revealed, that the deep state and the Left Wing Nut Democraps have done against the People of this great country, thru their illegal actions with in our government. So in real fact, we the true conservatives of the United States Of America are enemy’s of the deep state, and the Left Wing Nut Democraps. and I am proud to be their enemy and plan to make sure that they can no long hurt us or our country, by doing every thing I can to help elect true conservatives to run all aspects of our government systems from the school boards all the way up to our president. I know that their are a lot of people that want to make an example out of Julian, to put fear into any one that wants to know the real truth. The left wing nut’s rely on keeping people ignorant about what they are doing.
How much hacking did it take to go into an unsecured server? This is for Hillary- don’t do shady and illegal things and your emails wouldn’t be an issue. Assange saved our country and should be thanked not arrested. Old adage truth hurts, fits here perfectly. If Hitlary would have won we would be bowing to muslims and be socialist. Free Assange!
yes Trump doesn’t seem to understand how important a part Wikileaks played in his success and to reveal Hillary corruption. He said that Julian exposed state secrets and is a traitor. Please someone enlighten him. I think he is a hero as is Snowden.
Exactly. Julian exposed the corruption of the DNC. Hope he is guarded well. This man is a hero, not a villain. Any information released was the truth. We deserve the truth.
I agree ! I wouldn’t doubt that hitlery had something to do with his arrest !
I would testify I didn’t need to hack in, Hillary had an unprotected server that let any and all in. Didn’t need hacking, let everyone in to the Government and the DNC. You need to talk to Hillary!
