U.S. ramping up probe against Julian Assange, WikiLeaks says

American federal prosecutors have been pressing witnesses in the U.S. and abroad to testify against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, WikiLeaks says, offering further evidence that the Justice Department is building a criminal case against the man who leaked Democratic emails hacked by the Russians in the 2016 election.

In a new submission to the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights, based in Washington, WikiLeaks is urging the Justice Department to unseal the charges that appear to have been secretly filed against Assange in the Eastern District of Virginia. A mistake in a Justice Department court filing in November inadvertently suggested the existence of those charges.

    Clearly Killary would have simultaneously bombed a major metropolitan area, Ecucador, and our closest ally England to drone strike Assange by now so this is all fine.

    Crooked H. wanted to Drone him, that's so true. And who knows, maybe she would have used her nuclear there. He said "Podesta gave out that his password was the word 'password'......a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta" -- why was DNC so careless? Doesn't matter, they lost overwhelmingly. Except for the 3 to 5 million Fraud Votes.

    Julian is always welcome at the White House. And so are the boys from, and of, Covington Catholic High School. One of whom said something very smart. Very grown up. He said, "it's not rape if you enjoy it." That's so true. And I think Julian can relate to that one. Come visit me, Julian. I think we're going to serve McDonald's, Wendy's, & Burger King, with some pizza. I would think that's your favorite food. Much better than the food in England!!
