they have nothing and drop the case. But that would take extrordinary integrity on the part of the prosecutors given how the whole fias o has played out over five years.

Thereby taking the statute of limitations off the table.

I mean it's not out of the question that the outcome of this questioning will be that they decide that they actually have an actionable case against Assange that they wish to pursue. The freedom to question him is a blind-gain if they have no capacity to act on outcomes of that questioning.

Edit: If this was unclear, I do believe that he is factually guilty of the sexual assaults he was accused of; that Ecuador is harboring and shielding a rapist for political reasons.

That is the job of war crimes and terrorism, to force one's beliefs upon other people...and kill the unbelievers.

What happens if after the questioning, the Swedes decide they have a criminal case against Assange? Are the Ecuadorians going to turn him over? is he going to surrender into custody?

Or is this all more dog and pony show on his part to avoid prosecution of a crime he probably committed?

Julian Assange is nothing but the new Roman Polanski and his supporters for be ashamed of themselves for their misogyny and willingness to let a man get away with being a rapist because they like his "work."

Assange is no rapist. Time for this crap to end.

However, it is not my place or yours to make the determination if Assange is guilty. That is a decision that can only come out of the legal process he is impeding.

As long as he continues to do that, he's Roman Polanski and his supporters are enablers of an accused rapist.

..

we go nuts and demand they be prosecuted.

Julian Assange accused of rape: "zOMG! He's totes innocents!!!!"

something with a mushroom cloud, perhaps?
pathetic.
