2/ These governmental crimes include illegal, warrantless surveillance, conspiracy to "totally incapacitate me" and--in the words of my judge--"bizarre events" that "offend a sense of justice." All of these apply exactly to the just-revealed crimes against Assange.

3/ Here is Judge Matthew Byrne's statement dismissing the charges against me and Tony Russo, on May 12, 1973. AG Garland should take similar action on Assange this week. And if that doesn't happen, the UK High Court should dismiss the appeal. / nytimes.com/1973/05/12/archi…

Concerning reports that @MikePonpeo,et al., had planned to #assassinate #JulianAssange, with a claim of White House ok, Mr #Trump responded yesterday to @YahooNews-- “It’s totally false, it never happened. In fact, I think he’s been treated very badly.” [independent.co.uk/news/world…]

The UK High Court won't dismiss the appeal because all the judges are political/religious appointments and will do whatever their political/religious masters command - just like the Australian High Court overturned the rape conviction (upheld on appeal) of Cardinal George Pell

Pell was found innocent. The Victorian legal system was embarrassed.

Doesn’t the same article also confirm he really was working with the Russians? I know it’s not what he was charged with, but pretty important point nonetheless
