Yesterday was a good day for the U.S. justice system with the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals denying the malignant former guy's request to hide his connection with the January 6 insurrection. Today was a good day for justice in the U.K. The British High Court ruled that Russian cut-out and funnel for their WikiLeaks disinformation campaign in the 2016 election Julian Assange can be extradited to the U.S. to face long-standing charges of publishing classified documents in 2010 and 2011. They are permitting his extradition on assurances from the U. S. that risks of suicide by Assange will be reduced, and that his incarceration would not be under severe conditions. Assange's lawyer / fiancée / baby mama Stella Moris says they will appeal the ruling.
Assange, whose WikiLeaks organization aligns itself with Russia, has been avoiding justice for years, first popping up in Sweden, where he had to flee after being accused of rape, and then to the U.K. where after evading a warrant for his arrest for that alleged rape, he gained asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy, where he spent several years being an unpleasant squatter before being hustled out in April, 2019.
