If you Trump guys think that Trump somehow defends whistleblowers or honest journalists who reveal US war crimes, like Julian Assange, it only reveals what a bizarre fantasy world you guys live in.
Apart from Trumps unique record of pardoning psychopathic war criminals it has been revealed that Trump wanted Assange to get the death penalty.
According to journalist Cassandra Fairbanks, high-level US officials arranged a deal with the Ecuadorian government in 2018 to secure Assange’s seizure, ostensibly in return for their taking the death penalty, which the Trump administration clearly wanted, off the table.
The deal was organised by President Trump’s current national director of intelligence, Richard Grenell, while he was working as US ambassador to Germany. Fairbanks’s information makes clear that Assange’s arrest and extradition were sought under direct instruction from the president’s office.
Fairbanks also confirms that Assange’s every conversation in the embassy was recorded by the security firm UC Global and relayed directly to the Trump administration.
