So, IMHO, this is why no D Pres will ever pardon Assange, why (s)he will drag out the extradition appeal, hoping he will die in a Brit prison - this isn't about outrage over revelation of "State secrets", and they don't give a damn about "press freedom", as Matt's posts make quite clear, nor about "human rights", (ruinous sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela in the middle of a pandemic, e.g.) - this is about revenge ... The only political figure that has been, and still is, a champion for Assange, is the 3rd party '12 and '16 Pres candidate, Jill Stein, who, "as we all know" is a "Putin puppet"

Our current and ongoing "partisan divide" is simply a battle for power between 2 political mafia parties, neither of which give a fig about anything else ...

But, hey what do i know, just another kook with another "conspiracy theory" ...
