Another twist in the Assange story:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51566470
Another day, another bit of plausible deniability from the White House.
I've lost count of the number of times somebody has claimed some dubious behaviour on behalf of (or by) President Jaffa, only for it to be refuted. Then, in a breathtaking act of hubris, the Orange one tweets that he never did that, never said that, hadn't been there and/or didn't know the guy...... which just begs any investigative journo to prove his statement false..... and they always do!
I don't know what you think of Assange - in my case, not much but only from what I've read - he is certainly in shtuk at the moment - free of the "rape" charge levelled at him, but now held by Trump's mates and destined for a case for extradition to the USA which is what he always claimed was the real problem. If he is extradited and found "guilty" (is there a doubt?) he is destined to spend the rest of his life banged-up in a federal prison. However, whatever the "crimes" of which he is accused, there is no doubt that his biggest sin was to embarrass those in powerful positions who thought their dirty little secrets had been hidden away.
I don't know what you think of Trump, but his blatant disregard for any propriety seems to me to come from a dark place - and like "Chance the Gardener", he is a useful fool for those who wield the real power.
I don't know what you think of the UK government, but the idea that the courts should be used to aid the vengeance of a corrupt system and hand over someone to a country that has expressly rejected the return of a woman who killed a UK citizen and then ran away, makes me think that all poodles would be demeaned by comparison.
Taking back control.....
