Re: Key witness in Assange case admits to lies in indictment
#2Rats tend to be complete sociopath's and in many cases psychopaths, the police need to be held more accountable for onboarding these personalities instead of covering their own asses. There are several cases in Canada in which paid informants lied for years (decades) causing massive harm, and 2 cases which ended in mass murder, while still on police payroll. Yet the police somehow wash their hands of it all.

#3I am shocked, shocked I tell you.
Same with ridiculous rape charges. The spooks must have scared that poor woman to death. I guess that what you get for exposing major war crimes by the good guys.
He is alive but his life is ruined and Bradley is a woman. Yay for justice
Edit: I really don't understand the downvotes. What, exactly, do you find objectionable?

#4While scrolling, the web page shifts up a couple dozens of pixels (Android, Firefox) . It's very annoying. I had to stop reading after the second paragraph.
Am I the only one?

You are not the only one. Site is rough.

In this case, he was diagnosed as such. The article claims he simply did it to avoid prosecution.

The woman never accused Assange of rape. The police did, over her objections. The UN special rapporteur’s report goes into more detail, though the UN has produced so many documents detailing all the ways in which his detention is illegal, I can’t find the right link.

#9For someone who has not followed Assange news for a long time, what is the general accusation of his crimes? Is it just that he published secret material that he received from other sources?

No, that’s not illegal for somebody without a clearance.
The crime he’s charged with is that he was willing to (and I think did?) assist in breaking into a computer system to get the docs. I think under the CFAA. They have communication records of this because the person he was talking to was working for the USG.
Had he just been accepting docs as he was initially that would have been fine.
It’s hard to know the truth here though when nation state interests are at play. To what extent were the sex related charges against him political or flared up by nation state meddling?
At some point Russia was also using Wikileaks as a place to target the USG with some plausible deniability and Assange’s personal anti-US politics became a corrupting influence too.
So, who knows?
