Julian Assange Cannot Be Extradited To US, UK Court Rules | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Exposing war crimes shouldn’t be a crime itself, regardless of who committed it and on who’s behalf it was committed. Obama was smart in not pursuing it but dumb Trump, thought cowboy bravado was the right approach. Part of smart leadership is understanding your assets and liabilities , to which Trump was incapable of. National security vs Rule of law, where and who draws the line? Government vs the people, for whom government is set up.
If according to Americans war criminals can go free they have no standing on “spying”. I’m sure spying is on lower level than shooting children and women.
Let’s do a deal America. You can have Assange if you give us Ann Sacoolas for killing a young man and then running away.
That’s some white privilege
Assange is a f-ing disgrace. That ruling should be appealed.
Excepting what the court rules in the U K For Mr Julian Assange
Many countries do not allow the extradition of prisoners to the USA, if they have a chance to get the death penalty.
And sometimes other poor handling of inmates and suspects also play a big role.
The problem is not which crimes Assange did or did not commit, but the state of the US judicial system.
US allies have all turned on them….no one wants anything to do with them because of how tRump has treated all.
He needs to be in jail right next door to Trump
we didnt send them the lady that killed the boy on motorcycle. because she is ambassador wife. so you cant expect them to
ALL WHO VALUE INTEGRITY HOPE HE IS SET FREE!!!
Can’t expect the US Justice system to deliver justice: the UK court s right on this score.
As a Canadian, I for one don’t support the ongoing detention of the Chinese woman being held in Vancouver, also facing possible extradition to the US for her role (as an executive of Huawei) in the alleged circumvention of Trump’s anti-Iran sanctions in violation of the international agreement on curbing its nuclear program.
It’s come to this: I loathe both the Chinese and Iranian regimes, but I find myself unable to believe that the US regime is any more likely to deliver justice than those two rogue states are…
John Brennan and Ken Dilanian must be crying their eyes out.
Trump’s administration always choosing the proper thing to do!!!!!!!
UK Court ruling: WELL DONE!
BTW Trump pardoned real war criminals!!!
Lol can’t be extradited due to MENTAL HEALTH, in other words, due to USA.
The US Justice System and the Trump Administration do not have a good reputation in the world and also not in Europe. Even if one condemns Julian Assange’s activities, it would be harming his human rights if he would be extradited to the US.
USA has NOT sent back the woman who killed a young man here in UK..USA wants everything their way…SO glad he is NOT being sent to the lunatic asylum on the other side of the Atlantic…..
Well trump pardoned murderers.
Somebody should tell the English people that there is no R at the end of Obama.
Good!!! Drumpf can’t revenge his vile piggy self on him before he’s booted out of the White House. American jails are a disgusting example of incarceration that puts us on the level of Saudi Arabia and China and Russia and N. Korea. Like that Drumpf trolls? Our oldest ally, the UK detests the USA.
Finally …he did nothing wrong…just exposed what our governements do with our tax money.
