Ecuador announced Thursday that it has withdrawn asylum from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for “repeatedly violating international conventions and protocol.”

Assange was subsequently arrested by British police.

Ecuadoran Foreign Minister Jose Valencia told Teleamazonas this week that living in the embassy indefinitely is bad for Assange’s "state of mind, his health,” but that Assange has a right to a fair trial and right to a defense.

London's Metropolitan Police vowed earlier this month to arrest Assange if he were freed. Assange, who has lived in the embassy for more than six years, faces possible extradition to the U.S. for publishing thousands of classified military and diplomatic cables through WikiLeaks.

Assange has been in the embassy since 2012 when British courts ordered him extradited to Sweden to face questioning in a sexual assault case. That matter has since been dropped, but Wikileaks is facing a federal grand jury investigation over its publication of American diplomatic and military secrets during the Iraq War.

Assange and his website were front and center during the 2016 presidential election, when they published thousands of Democratic National Committee emails and files from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta. Democrats believe the emails were delivered to Assange by Russian operatives, but Assange has insisted they did not come from a state actor.

It'll turn out like the Smollett case.

Dear God which direction will Trump take on this one?

LMAO.

The Clintons will have him killed before he can testify that the Podesta emails came from Seth Rich, exposing a murder plot.

Thats the object.

I hope Trump pardons him. Without his leaks i dont think Trump would be the POTUS.

Snowden, OTOH, is a deep state cia mole whos job was to destroy the patriots in the NSA and further the deep states NWO agenda.

It'll turn out like the Smollett case.

He is safe as a baby, but looks like he is probably pretty deranged. Obviously, a good soldier for Trump, he has nothing to worry about. Will probably get a Presidential Medal.

This may unlock the secrets of Clintons emails and the death of Seth Rich. Presidential pardon may be required at some point.

A U.S. federal court unsealed an indictment Thursday against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange charging him with a single count of conspiracy to disclose classified information that could be used to injure the United States.

The U.S. indictment was issued in December 2017 on charges of conspiracy with Chelsea Manning dating to 2010.

Formerly a soldier named Bradley Manning, she was imprisoned for seven years for violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses after turning over hundreds of thousands of classified or sensitive military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks.

He is safe as a baby, but looks like he is probably pretty deranged. Obviously, a good soldier for Trump, he has nothing to worry about. Will probably get a Presidential Medal.

Shiit about to hit the fan for the African/Arkansas crew.

Maybe a prefatory move to put Assange in protective custody.

The unsealed indictment against Assange:

By British Police inside the embassy he was hiding out in.

Headlines for the next week now....

I’m wondering who had what on Ecuador?

HOPE the guy has a back up of ...news to release.....just for this occasion !

His arrest is long over due. He was not, and is not, a friend of America. He exposed virtually nothing other than American interests. He did great harm to our diplomatic interests and military. He was not a watchdog, but rather a spy.

You liberals call anyone that tells the truth "deranged".

What a pathetic world you must live in to rely solely on your handlers to tell you what is truth and what isn't...

That Obama pardoned Chelsea Manning ought to be pretty blaring on the alarm bells scale...

I suspect that Assange knows where at least some bodies are buried and, more importantly, who buried them.

.. He was not a watchdog, but rather a spy.

Wonder if they will allow conjugal visits from Pamela Anderson?

That Obama pardoned Chelsea Manning ought to be pretty blaring on the alarm bells scale...

It was rumored at one point when he was stuck in the embassy that Wikileaks has a dead man's switch to release all unreleased documents if Assange fails to check in every 24 hours, protected with 512 bit encryption, basically impossible to hack. Guess we will find out tomorrow, unless the deep state can get to that, too.

Trump did it in short order.

Trump did what?

Notice the book he's carrying at the 7second mark. It's a copy of the Vidal's 2014 book. Transcribed conversations with Paul Jay, the editor of the Real News Network. Maybe a Server in there also.

I wondered how Trump would get him back here to testify. Obama and Hillary tried for years to get him back here to be arrested, Trump did it in short order.

Assange is now in the hands of the UK, the same UK, as part of the Five Eyes that conspired with our Intelligence Community to stop Donald Trump from being elected, then ran a coup to have him removed from office. The UK is not going to help President Trump expose the UK's involvement in SpyGate by handing Assange over to the US to testify.

If President Trump wanted Assange, then he failed, his chances of testifying against the Deep State have just gone to zero.

The Clintons will have him killed before he can testify that the Podesta emails came from Seth Rich, exposing a murder plot.

His arrest is long over due. He was not, and is not, a friend of America. He exposed virtually nothing other than American interests. He did great harm to our diplomatic interests and military. He was not a watchdog, but rather a spy.

Our govt is not a friend of Americans.

Why would they allow him to take a book?

I smell some shenanigans...

Strange how the US can extradite a foreign citizen who hasn't committed any crimes on US soil? How does this work? What if China tried the same thing and had an American citizen shipped over to them for leaking Chinese secrets?

So Jackie O and Gore Vidal are related, what's the hidden meaning you are trying to convey here?

Not only have they arrested Julian Assange they have also arrested a Wikileaks programmer and Bradley Manning is back in solitary confinement for refusing to testify to a grand jury. The Deep State is going all out to get Wikileaks. Assange is a journalist and if he had been working for The NY Times he would have a couple of Pulitzer Prizes by now.

The CIA / five eyes are as deep state as it gets ! The only crime that Assange is positively guilty of is jumping bail to avoid extradition to Sweden. He’s accused of sexual assault there. The sexual assaults there are having consensual sex but not wearing a condom the second time around. The rest is the global deep state trying sit down Wikileaks.

They say ignorance is bliss and you are a poster boy..

It's simple. The US goes to the British government with evidence of a crime. Both countries have treaties allowing for such instances. The British court reads the evidence and sends them back. See how that works?

That is what DUE process is for. Assange is not being prosecuted for the PUBLISHING of the stuff, just like the Pentagon Paper fiasco. He is being arraigned for allegedly helping the little gagger Manning, break the code to hack...

Jorge, can you distinguish your Assange position from Chuck Schumer’s?

So what were those guys (police officers?) carrying out of the Embassy? A safe maybe?

The fact that UK police were even inside the Ecuadorian Embassy is troubling. The UK is just as guilty as the US in war crimes. Tramp saying he doesn't know what Wikileaks is is troubling.

Don't you mean former Gov.?

No. I mean our current govt. Until the swamp is drained of deep-staters, communists, globalists, leftists, Islamists, garden-variety traitors and chameleon mid-level bureaucrats who make up Enemies Domestic, we are at risk.

Trump is about the only champion we have fighting for us. But he is only the president. We need patriots in the other branches of govt who are on the same sheet of music.
