Is Julian Assange in danger? It might be worth your concern.

One guest, I think it was Rep. Eric Swalwell, on AM Joy this morning contended that the F.B.I. was intent on getting their hands Assange. Therefore it will happen, he continued.

In the next 1/2 segment, the erudite Malcolm Nance, maintained that the administration has to worry about what Assange knows and what he might say in court. (Does Assange know, for instance, who helped broker the third party transfer of hacked material?)

If that's the case, then they'll simply say, "Hey, it's up to Ecuador, we can't do anything." randome Apr 2017 #7

Snowden and Assange should be sharing an apartment in Moscow, then at least, Assange would be in the same place as the Wikileaks server.

He released info to the American public to let us know what the government was actually doing to us. I am probably going to get the riot act and some very harsh words but I approve of what he did. I do not like him being in Russia but what he first did was right.

Is Assange in danger of being "suicided" so that he can't testify against the administration in court?

And Assange will spend the next couple of decades right where he is. I doubt he would willingly 'rat' on his sources since he is quite prepared to go to his death rather than admit his shortcomings in the bedroom.
