REMINDER: Despite his, Wikileaks’, his lawyers’ & his cult‘s contention, Julian Assange did NOT seek asylum in Ecuador’s London Embassy for acts related to transparency, Manning, or leaking.

It was to escape an international arrest warrant for rape allegations in Sweden.

So when Wikileaks pretends he was exonerated, he wasn’t. When they pretend he’s a persecuted journalist, he isn’t.

He was wanted for sex crimes.

His hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy merely outlasted the statute of limitations.

He was exonerated about as much as trump was.

Playing to type, the Assange cultists are coming out in droves pretending he the Swedish warrant never existed.

But this is my favorite reply. 1st, it doesn’t dispute the underlying facts. 2nd, the rationalization is pathetic. 3rd, who flees and seeks asylum to avoid a fine?
.@slim404 when you’re in a hole, stop digging.
Now that I’ve kicked the @wikileaks beehive I’m going for the jugular, the accusation that makes them maddest:

Julian Assange has severe body odor.
If you were wondering who @slim404 is, am now discovering he was the Tunisian Secretary of State for Sport & Youth.

Quite the role model.
