Not prosecuting Assange

mercredi 2 décembre 2020 à 01:00

Will Biden reinstate Obama's reported decision not to prosecute Assange for espionage?

Another question I wonder about: if indeed the US had no intention to prosecute Assange for espionage during those years, did the US intend to prosecute him in some other way? If so, what was it?

And it's not just radio telescopes that the US lacks the money to do. There are other things, even more important, which the US fails to do — for instance, giving poor people a decent life.

Well, at least the US has saved some of the cost of demolition :-{.
