Drama erupts in /r/WikiLeaks over whether or not Julian Assange REALLY agreed to be extradited to the U.S. if Obama granted clemency to Chelsea Manning.

The fact that you think CTR is a single thing and not a form of commenting is all I need to know.

Continue with your BS.

CTR... is a state of mind.

I love it. Let's just make CTR as abstract as possible

CTR is enjoying a meat pie on a cold winter day

CTR is dew forming on blades of grass in the Appalachian Mountains

CTR is an infant experiencing a rain shower for the first time

CTR is the first time you gaze upon B’gnu-Thun on a snowy day, instantly rendering you insane and writhing on the ground, to die in the blizzard that immediately follows.

r/enoughtrumpspam should program their word-association automoderator bot to quote this post whenever someone mentions CTR.

You are a perfect human being and I love you.

CTR is sitting on a toilet seat and feeling the small droplet of stranger's pee you hadn't noticed before against your ass cheek.

All CTR is trying to do is free peoples minds. CTR wants to bring you to sense of selfe awareness so deep you can truly feel those around you. CTR wants to help you realize once you achieve that you can be apart of the whole. CTR wants to help you find the benifits of no longer saying I in ones self but saying we as in a whole. CTR will make things better for everyone. CTR wants to make things safer for everyone. Do not resist CTR. You do not want to find yourself on the outside of what CTR is trying to do. CTR is hope. CTR is the future. Join CTR to help shape that future.

This may amaze you, but it was an organization during the presidential primaries which the Clinton campaign paid a couple million dollars for social media work.

Which has been taken to actually represent "anyone who disagrees with me is clearly a shill paid by CTR."

Doesn't he need to make a stopover in Sweden first? I'm sure they can work on the finer details of his trip to the U.S. after the Swedish authorities ask him a few harmless questions.

109

u/AndyLorentz Jan 19 '17

The U.S. hasn't even charged him with anything. Assange thinks the Sweden thing is just a cover to extradite him to the U.S., but there is currently no Justice Department investigation, no charges have been filed, and the U.S. hasn't even asked to question him! That's generally not how the U.S. justice system operates.

He's an accused rapist with an overinflated ego. The U.S. government certainly isn't happy with him, but if he was going to be indicted, that information would be public.

I think it's fair enough that he clarifies his position now clemency had been given; Assange can still honour his promise in due course, he doesn't need to be in a rush, and I don't think it would be wise of him to do that.

Oh yeah no rush, he can still honour his promise in due time, like maybe in three years after the statute of limitations is up on the allegations in Sweden.

u/goldman60 Jan 19 '17

Once charges are files doesn't the clock on the Statute of Limitations stop?

18

u/a57782 Jan 19 '17

I'm not that familiar with the Swedish legal system, but from what I've gathered once charges are filed the Statute of Limitations isn't an issue anymore. By fucking off to the Ecuadorian embassy he ran out the clock on two of the accusations because he had to be questioned before he could be formally charged.

They can still go after him for the rape charge because it has a ten year period before they can't pursue it. He's been questioned, so they could formally charge him there. If and when, remains to be seen.
