DOJ expects to soon prosecute Assange, who has been living in London, reports The Wall Street Journal.

The U.S. Justice Department said it is planning to prosecute controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Sources told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday that the department is also hopeful it will get Assange ― who has been holed up in an Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012 ― into a U.S. courtroom.

Assange fled Sweden in 2012 over allegations of sexual assault and rape. Though prosecutors dropped the case last year, he still faces arrest for breaching bail conditions should he leave the embassy.

Great news! The sooner the better! Assange has much to answer for.

Be careful what you wish for.

What’d he leak again?

 

[Oddball]

Assange should be pardoned, not prosecuted.

 

[Blackrook]

If all he did was publish information that was leaked to him by somebody else, then he has the same First Amendment protections as the New York Times, which did the exact same thing when they published the Pentagon Papers.

 

[Oddball]

I can remember when Assange was a big hero to the moonbats, when he was leaking all over Chimpola Bush....But now, he "has a lot to answer for" for leaking all over Oboingo, Hildabeest, and the rest of the DNC clown car.

The Pentagon Papers were internal to America - not foreign collusion like with Assange and Russia to influence a U.S. presidential election.

So far that hasn't been proved, reason be, it didn't happen that way.

Manning? I didn't know that s/he was involved in the Clinton/Podesta/DNC emails.

It appears putting Assange up at the Ecuadorean embassy is a costly expense on the Ecuadorean government. This in order to harbor a International criminal and not someone who is justifiably in need of protection due to life threatening circumstances. As such, having Assange there just as a means to escape Justice, is probably not worth the cost and of no use to the best interests of Ecuador.

Same with Alex Jones when he was running around telling everyone stupid enough to waste time listening that Bush did 9/11 to us in order to go to war. I have no idea why anyone would ever take the guy seriously anymore.

That’s what you call him lol

Why is the DOJ prosecuting Assange for crimes supposedly committed in Sweden?

Collusion isn't a crime, dumbass. How many times does that have to be pounded into your skull?

"The exact charges Justice Department might pursue remain unclear, but they may involve the Espionage Act, which criminalizes the disclosure of national defense-related information."
U.S. Is Optimistic It Will Prosecute Assange

"The Justice Department is weighing anew whether to charge Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, for his role in the disclosure of highly classified information that the United States government claims has harmed national security and diplomatic relations, a law enforcement official said.

The debate among prosecutors, which the official described as vigorous, is being fueled by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who said at a news conference Thursday that arresting Mr. Assange was a priority for the Justice Department.

But the official said prosecutors were skeptical that they could pursue the most serious charges, of espionage, with regard to the documents Mr. Assange disclosed years ago with the help of an Army intelligence analyst, Chelsea Manning. Ms. Manning was convicted and sent to prison, but President Barack Obama commuted her sentence in January.
A lesser charge could be theft of government documents, but the official said prosecutors wanted, ideally, to pursue more serious counts against Mr. Assange, who has sought refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden on accusations of rape."
