(24,010 posts)The sex allegations are so flimsy and absurd that the first Swedish prosecutor dropped the case and told Assange he could leave Sweden. Then they brought in a more politically ambitious prosecutor to pursue Assange "for questioning"--strictly to get him into custody (for "rendition" to the U.S.) in my opinion. Still no charges have been filed on any kind of sex allegation. This is all about QUESTIONING. The U.K. threatened to storm the Ecuadoran embassy to get hold of a man wanted for questioning on allegations that the first prosecutor dropped.
Assange was being set up for an arrest. That's ALL the current Swedish prosecutors really want. They want him in custody though they have no case against him! Furthermore, he has repeatedly made himself available for questioning and they have refused to question him! Why? The latest offer is for Ecuador to move Assange to their embassy in Sweden so he can be "questioned" there. And they will turn it down, believe me. They have no interest in Assange on these sex allegations. It is all a pretext to get him into custody and "rendered" to the U.S. for the crime of journalism.
