Julian Assange 'too ill' to appear for court hearing, says lawyer

@ BBC News, May 30

[....] He had been due to appear at his case management hearing via video link from Belmarsh Prison but lawyer Gareth Peirce said he was "not very well".

According to WikiLeaks, Assange has been moved to the medical ward in jail.

A spokesman for the whistleblowing website said it had "grave concerns" about Assange's health.

"During the seven weeks in Belmarsh his health has continued to deteriorate and he has dramatically lost weight," the spokesman said.

"Defence lawyer for Assange, Per Samuelson, said that Julian Assange's health state last Friday was such 'that it was not possible to conduct a normal conversation with him'." [....]

The Assange Complaint Was Filed the Day the UK Rejected Assange’s Diplomatic Status

I.e. when it became obvious Assange would use any absurd trick he could, they put down the indictment. Of course by this time Julian had worked with Donald & Roger to help throw the election and deal out stolen emails (even after Donald & Mike Flynn had been briefed by the NSA about what the Russians were up to - a meeting where they were all mum about their various past & current real estate deals, employing Russian dirty tricks guys & even changing the GOP platform to accommodate the Russians)

Is auctioning off classified government data to the highest bidder considered journalism?

I can say with certainty today after reviewing my own research and material that I have collected over the years (and I have a lot, much of which has never been published) that there's WikiLeaks related investigation material under seal in *Eastern District of New York.*

In reply to Retweeted by Laura Rozen:

George Galloway claimed: simply a case of “bad sexual etiquette”, he said. “I mean, not everybody needs to be asked prior to each insertion.”

But one would think the woman should at least be awake.

When I first heard about wikileaks I said it would take a saint to run it without using it for personal reasons, personal gain, personal power, revenge, partisan advantage. Assange isn't a saint and so that's what happened.

The ACLU: a worrisome indictment:

There is no First Amendment right to crack a government password — but this indictment characterizes routine journalistic activities, such as encouraging a source to provide more information, as ‘part of’ a criminal conspiracy.

That should worry us all.https://t.co/9LNWrf6o2y

Criminally prosecuting a publisher for the publication of truthful information would be a first in American history — and unconstitutional.

The government may not have crossed that line last week, but the worst case scenario cannot yet be ruled out. https://t.co/DzUV6RTJnp
