WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is finally being questioned by prosecutors more than six years after he was first accused of rape in Sweden.
Ingrid Isgren, Sweden's deputy chief prosecutor, arrived at the Ecuadorian Embassy this morning, according to The Guardian, ending a stalemate which began in 2012 when the South American nation offered Assange political asylum on the grounds that he faced political persecution from the United States.
Assange claims that the rape accusations, which he denies, are part of a plot to extradite him to the United States that would swing into action were he to answer prosecutors' questions in the Scandinavian country.
The interview suggests some forward movement is being made in the diplomatic deadlock between Ecuador and Sweden regarding the arrangements for Swedish prosecutors to talk to Assange in the embassy.

"are you seriously holding against her an off-the-cuff and off-mike comment,"
Most certainly.
"I know you'd have much more to say than that."
Hmmm. You are both right, and wrong. I have said much worse. I'm the man who had the squad leader's back when we hit the beach. I carried an M-14 out into fuzzy-wuzzy land (Rudyard Kipling, for those of you who don't understand the reference) I most certainly DID say much worse than "can't we just drone the guy".
But, my targets were all awake, standing up, and facing me, with weapons in their hands (Mal, in Firefly).
I'm not one to suggest murdering a man in his sleep, or to bomb him at his wedding, or kill his family as he drives along to visit Grandma. I am from an entirely different culture than Hillary, and her murderous clan.
This alt-right nonsense. If it makes you feel better to call me names, go right ahead. But, for the record, I am INDEFUCKINGPENDENT!! I didn't vote for Trump. I posted my vote in another thread. I voted Johnson, and went right on down the ticket voting for Libertarians.
Thanks for playing, though.
Oh - crybabies and whiners. My wife just read to me an article she stumbled across. Do you know why Hillary didn't return to the post-election event with her senior party people?
BECAUSE SHE WAS THROWING A TANTRUM!! That's right, a full blown tantrum, like you might expect from little boys and girls who have just left toddlerhood.
THAT was your "presidential material", LMAO
