President Joe Biden's administration plans to continue to seek to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from the United Kingdom to the United States to face hacking conspiracy charges, the U.S. Justice Department said.

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden’s administration plans to continue to seek to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from the United Kingdom to the United States to face hacking conspiracy charges, the U.S. Justice Department said.

In a Jan. 4 ruling, the judge, Vanessa Baraitser, said, “I find that the mental condition of Mr. Assange is such that it would be oppressive to extradite him to the United States of America.” WikiLeaks drew fury from the U.S. government after publishing thousands of pages of once-secret reports and documents generated by American military and intelligence agencies, including detailed descriptions of CIA hacking capabilities. WikiLeaks also published emails hacked from Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and a key adviser, which Clinton and some of her supporters say was a factor in her election defeat to Republican Donald Trump.

Once again the only moral thing to do in America is just not to vote for any presidential candidate

Good!!!

I hope the UK tell Biden and his administration to can go to hell. Protecting Anna Sacoolas so two can play that game.

To hell with Ass ange, free Reality Winner!

Good.

Assange lost any remaining vestige of altruism when he helped the Russians and Roger Stone interfere in the 2016 election.

Bidens an idiot

How was publishing Hillary Clinton’s emails a whistleblower act? It gave us Trump and a war on American Democracy. Assange is a criminal and should face charges.

Good!! And please don’t forget seanhannity Hannity who helped him and delivered information back and forth from Trump FBI

At least I and the world know they can trust President Biden.

The one who helped tRump to win. The one who made America a shitshow for 4 years.

Trump had the opportunity to help him but chose to pardon Lil Wayne instead

Good.

Good. Treasonous rapists need to answer for their crimes.

BIG MISTAKE!

Good.

Good. He’s A Political Hack Who Only Leaked Stuff For His Own Personal Gain. Free Reality Winner And Pardon Snowden.

Don't care what anybody says. Assange was Putin's tool in 2016. He worked for Putin.

Cuz he really pissed Hillary off!

MichelleNelms9 Oh hell yeah the truth has to be silenced, because the Biden Administration has the most to loose by his information, lies and bullshit are all that they can have floating around

peterdaou I’m still trying to figure out why I should care. 🤷‍♀️ I guess after all these years I’m just over it. Fixating on him is doing nothing for the nation.

GOOD.

Good. Let those who abet tyranny suffer in this life and any that follow.

Come talk to America assange. Pardon RealityWinnerNOW

Good.

This is the party of Hillary Clinton who queried whether or not they could drone assange.

jrpsaki this true?

Yess

Now that is disappointing. WHY FFS!

Good!!

UK/US Free Trade Deal, once done, bargaining chip Assange, turned over for extradition? Can’t trust deal, although in writing, until it’s actually happening. Even then, 4 years later, can be ripped up by new admin! It is, what it is! JCPOA, ask Iran? Goal posts on wheels!

Authoritarians like to keep lips zipped.

I guess they are still going on the idea of 'its bad to leak classified intel and whistleblowers should be made an example of.' I was definitely expecting this.

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Johnteddy63 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Pontifex ClemencyForAssange. ClemencyForGuzman.

Good, he's an obvious Putin asset.

When both political factions agree on something, you know it's a horrible idea. FreeAssange

Traitors

Good. Just pardon Snowden and Winner though.

Boo JoeBiden

Yes, of course it does.
