The USA is to give the UK diplomatic “assurances” regarding Julian Assange's possible extradition. What to make of these? And what about Joe Biden's recent statements on Assange's home country Australia?

today is the deadline for the United States to provide diplomatic assurances to the High Court of the UK prior to the next hearing on May 20

    Yes he could be extradited and found not guilty No member of the press deserves to go to jail For doing that’s job

    So, I guess you’re either being disingenuous or you haven’t followed the case much. If it’s the latter, I highly encourage you to read the two links in my earlier comment, and/or any of these: 1, 2, 3

    Are you aware of anyone besides yourself seriously arguing that he has any chance of being found not guilty in a US espionage trial, while also saying that he doesn’t deserve to go to jail?

    As far as I’ve seen, any remotely informed commentator who argues that he could get a “fair trial” in the US is also arguing that it would be “fair” for him to be convicted and spend the rest of his life in prison.

      This person is both being disingenuous and showing the intellectual prowess of a sovereign citizen. I enjoyed your posts FWIW.
