Interesting: If these documents (scribd.com/user/433220695…) are authentic:
* UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office has funded 'Integrity Project' influence campaign
* Integrity project "circulated privately" material to "key influencers" at El Pais & academic institutions in Spain
* According to the documents, 'Integrity Project' "Spain Cluster" coordinators are Mira Milosevich-Juaristi of the Elcano think tank, and Borja Lasheras, of ECFR, among others.
* They appeared together with David Alandete of El Pais before UK parliament:
* Testimony by 'Integrity Project' coordinators and David Alandete (since fired from El Pais) before the UK Parliament unsuccessfully attempted to implicate Assange in an alleged Russian influence campaign in relation to the Catalan referendum of 2017:

Some journalists keenly cite FBI informer Marcy Wheeler's wild & eager speculations on EDVA's #Assange indictment. But indications so far in fact point to the indictment relating to @xychelsea's case & @WikiLeaks revelations of US wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Cablegate, GITMO.
First of all, the document indicates that the indictment is in the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA). This is where the WikiLeaks Grand Jury (Ref:10GJ3793) has been empanelled since 2010 in order to indict Assange over the publications that Chelsea Manning was convicted over.
The @WikiLeaks Grand Jury was headed at the time by Neil MacBride (who was also responsible for the prosecution of CIA whistleblower @JohnKiriakou). MacBride is an aggressive proponent of the extraterritorial application of US criminal jurisdiction. washingtonpost.com/world/national…

@lawfareblog @hilary_hurd Hi there! It's great you are taking interest in this complex case -- there is a lot of inaccurate information out there and some have informed some parts of your piece. For example, The asylum was granted from US extradition & cooperation with Swedish authorities...
@lawfareblog @Hilary_Hurd ...led to his finally being questioned at the embassy in November 2016 (the prosecutor had refused until finally compelled by Sweden's Court of Appeal in 2015, which reprimanded her for failing to progress the preliminary investigation). Assange's statement included exculpatory..
@lawfareblog @Hilary_Hurd ...SMS messages from the women's phones. The prosecutor dropped not only the arrest warrant, but the entire investigation, and the prosecution office has destroyed the records, according to FOI request replies. The prosecutor's statements which you make reference to were a ...

#Thread A few significant excerpts from @NilsMelzer’s follow-up letter to #Sweden copied to UN Human Rights Council spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/… The real reason #Assange was forced to seek asylum in #Ecuador’s embassy: Sweden & UK conspired to block any appeal to international courts
@NilsMelzer 2. All the UK govt’s talk of “hypothetical” extradition to the US was a bald-faced lie, one even made the day before #Assange’s asylum was illegally rescinded by #Ecuador (with UK's collusion) & the US extradition request magically appeared within hours spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/…
@NilsMelzer 3. “The manner in which #Sweden conducted its preliminary investigation against Mr #Assange was the primary factor that triggered, enabled & encouraged the subsequent campaign, the cumulative effects of which can only be described as psychological torture” spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/…

"... Many on social media are misleading others into thinking that there are legal proceedings afoot in Sweden today. This assertion is simply wrong. #Assange has never been charged in Sweden, the investigation into the alleged sexual misconduct was closed, twice."
"There are only two live issues before the courts, leaving aside the sentencing for breach of bail. They are, the extradition request and the accompanying charges brought by the U.S...."
"... in respect of which there is a real possibility that once on U.S. soil, Assange will face an inhumane and degrading treatment, torture and an unfair trial."

Equador: Swedish national #OlaBini arrested for connections to #wikileaks.

Johannes Wahlström:

#JulianAssange's "human rights are violated on a daily basis"

"#JulianAssange is imprisoned for #journalism."

#MikePompeo on lying:

"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"
