WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says the Department of Justice (DOJ) set a new standard for its investigations with its probe of Hillary Clinton.
Our D.C. lawyers are delivering a letter tomorrow to Attorney General Loretta Lynch asking her to explain why it is that the now six-year-long national security and criminal investigation being run against WikiLeaks, the reason I have political asylum, has not been closed, he said on CNNs The Lead on Monday.
Because the DOJ, whose actions seem to be setting a new standard by closing the Hillary Clinton case, Assange added. "The Hillary Clinton case has only gone for one year. Hillary Clintons case has been dropped, the case against WikiLeaks continues. So why is it that the quote, pending law enforcement proceedings against WikiLeaks continue? Theres a problem here.
Assange compared the DOJs investigation of his organization with the agencys probe of Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee.

(43,049 posts)pass judgment on the DOJ, or anything else? OK, he's comparing his treatment to Hillary's, but that's like Al Capone complaining about his treatment.
Or Rudolph Hess.
Anyway, somebody get this prick back on to US soil so we can jail his ass after he spends some time in a Swedish jail. And make sure he didn't edit any of those emails he's been passing out.

(14,532 posts)think of one good reason for that Assange. Hillary made herself available to testify to not only the FBI, but to congress as well. Would you care to follow her example?

(30,481 posts)When he was found guilty in a past court case the judge gave him the most favorable sentence possible stating his horrific upbringing as the reason. Any of us would have served jail time for what he did. This is the Assange way. Blame others because you are an absolutely horrid person. It has worked for him in and out the courtroom.
These days he is just a Trump loving anti-Semitic rapist trying to stay relevant as he runs from the law.

Assange doesn't live here and he will cast no vote in the race... Maybe he should start looking at the human rights crackdown in his adopted Ecuador and fuck off.

(2,897 posts)The DoJ has been able to fully investigate Secretary Clinton within the year. Assange has been hiding out from a rape charge for years and has not made himself available as she has.

(146,317 posts)I'm sick of his manipulative hacking and selective choices of what to release. As far as I'm concerned, he can rot in that embassy.
