Julian Assange will Plead Guilty in Deal with US and Return to Australia

Washington, DC...(AP)...Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will plead guilty to a felony charge in a deal with the U.S. Justice Department that will resolve a long-running legal saga that spanned multiple continents and centered on the publication of a trove of classified documents, according to court papers filed late Monday.





Assange is scheduled to appear in the federal court in the Mariana Islands, a U.S. commonwealth in the Western Pacific, to plead guilty to an Espionage Act charge of conspiring to unlawfully obtain and disseminate classified national defense information, the Justice Department said in a letter filed in court.

The guilty plea, which must be approved by a judge, brings an abrupt conclusion to a criminal case of international intrigue and to the U.S. government’s years-long pursuit of a publisher whose hugely popular secret-sharing website made him a cause célèbre among many press freedom advocates who said he acted as a journalist to expose U.S. military wrongdoing. Investigators, by contrast, have repeatedly asserted that his actions broke laws meant to protect sensitive information and put the country’s national security at risk.

He is expected to return to Australia after his plea and sentencing, which is scheduled for Wednesday morning, local time in Saipan, the largest island in the Mariana Islands. The hearing is taking place there because of Assange’s opposition to traveling to the continental U.S. and the court’s proximity to Australia.

    Assange informed the world, US citizens of the truth of US policy.

    don the Traitor gave the Russians, and Saudi State secrets.

    Stole them, took them to mara - lardo , with secrets in a bathroom stacked next to a copy ,machine.

    The traitor met with the Russians days after he was installed, at the White House.

    Voting for a traitor? think again.

              Actually most those J6 people in prison are convicted felons.
              Of course we all know that, having watched them beating law enforcement officers for 3 hours that day.

              Tons of other people who've assaulted law enforcement are also in prison.

              What's new is Republicans supporting assault against our law enforcement officers.

                Here's a question for you MAGA Morons!! How many of Trumps past lawyers, those having worked for him from 2016 on, are now in prison, or have been indicted, for their part in his attempt to overthrow the 2020 election? How many?? Oh, and lets not forget indicted/convicted advisors such as Bannon, Manifort, etal. How many ex-generals were convicted, AND ADMITTED, lying to the FBI? Answer those two questions MAGA Morons, look in the mirror, and at least TO YOURSELF, admit the truth. Trump is a criminal enterprise, a traitor, and should be drawn and quartered.

      That will be a 50 dollar Tri Tip if you elect Trump and allow him to impose his inflationary economic policy.

      Count on it.
      Don't whine 3 years from now and say you weren't warned.
