Long may he rot in jail in a cell next to Donald Trump.

He is not a journalist, never has been and will never be.

Still waiting on Assange's leaks against Putin. He always seemed to get scooped by other outlets on them. Strange that.

If Assange and WikiLeaks are a Russian intelligence asset. Then Assange is a deadman. Putin will make sure he never leaves England alive. He won’t just sit back and allow him to be sent to the United States and possibly blab to the CIA in exchange for a pardon of some kind.

The hypocrisy is that #Assange is more of a journalist than the mainstream corporate press.

Gabriel is not JA`s "steph brother". He is his half brother. They have the same father.

Given the admission by their main witness that he lied throughout, the case against Assange is an obvious fitup.

I hope your colleague @chrislhayes will also have them on. He told me the prosecution of Julian Assange is a very bad precedent and he did an excellent piece on it.

I think Assange’s arrest is a very very bad precedent and said so both on Twitter and on air.
