I was wondering what everyone’s opinion is about the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in Ecuador. He’s been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy located in the UK under heavy surveillance for the past 7 years. The UK private police force busted in on him and he is apparently awaiting extradition to the USA where he will most likely face severe lifelong charges and sent to a Federal Supermax prison.
I have mixed feelings about Julian Assange. On one hand I see him as a devious computer hacker who has exposed some of America’s National secrets that could compromise our security. On the other hand I see him as a national hero for exposing the Clintons and Podesta Brothers and the criminal activity they engaged in as per the Wikileaks email dumps. How would we even know how sick and corrupt some people are without the type of hack? If not for Julian Assange, Hillary Clinton would 100% for sure be President right now and just the thought of that is repulsive, and in my opinion, dangerous for all of the World. That being said.....President Trump said today that WikiLeaks is really not his thing and he knows very little about it. What?! WikiLeaks is one of the main reasons, along with Roger Stone that helped get Trump elected in the first place! Trump mentioned WikiLeaks SEVERAL times on the campaign trail and all the damaging emails that came along with it. He sure liked to play that card with American voters while in the background his base chanted “Lock Her Up” in the background. Now I would love to see HRC locked up forever along with her shady slimeball husband but, I doubt that will ever happen. Trump said he would put her in jail.....well I wanna see it! The fact that Trump played coy and acted dumb to the situation is extremely disappointing to me. Maybe, just maybe, Trump has a wild card up hs sleeve and he is playing this situation for down the road and some big reveal. I doubt it though because Assange is no fan of Trump and it seems as if he feels slighted for the way he has been dismissive of WikiLeaks. I have to side somewhat with Assange on this because those emails were the tipping point for an election that was supposedly close. Julian is no Angel though, he has been caught hacking systems and exposing extremely sensitive information about governments and power elite around the world. There certainly are a lot of rich powerful people in the world that would love to see Assange behind bars. Hopefully if it comes to that, Assange mega dumps new stuff onto the world that will expose even more people and criminal activities.
