Thatās bad, but youād think the press(all of them) would have front page covers plastered with James Lewis QC(prosecution) answer to this question.
āThe judge asked if the act of āobtainingā the docs constitutes one of the conducts charged, does it follow that any person solely āobtainingā these kinds of documents ā without the āaiding and abettingā elements ā would be subject to prosecution as well?
Any of them even mention it?
If he answered yes, thatās all media fucked over and wholly owned, but would reading something on a screen constitute āobtainingā and possibly even āaiding and abettingā?
Day by Day the mask slips and shows the true face in all its hideousness.
āAre you suggesting, Mr Summers, that the authorities, the Government, should have to provide context for its charges?ā
All a bit, we donāt show, we tell, but thatās been Baraitser(completely unqualified for this case*) and Arbuthnot(why does she still have oversight on an obvious conflict of interest) from the start.
*āBaraitser dropped a massive bombshell. She stated that although Article 4.1 of the US/UK Extradition Treaty forbade political extraditions, this was only in the Treaty.
She might want to read up a bit on that.
āA party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty.ā
Edit: Article 26 and i donāt think it interferes with article 46(but iām shit at English and law is all in the language).
Can anyone see fair, democratic, judicial process (assuming thereās anything to see in the media(apart from the mealie mouth and incorrect excuse from the guardian about their SS stooge thatās been caught fabricating more times than a engineering firm)?
Tucker Carlson, the only one that allows Roger Waters voice to be heard. Thatās a bit sad, but not surprising when you consider our press had a blanket ban on Roger Waters performance for Assange a few months ago.
Tucker fucking Carlson, more honest than the whole of the British media.
What to call a country with this wilful (lack of)reporting?
I wouldnāt be so sureā¦
*In a ruling in which she accepted nearly every argument from U.S. government, Judge Vanessa Baraitser agreed with the defenseās claims that the U.S. prison conditions Assange would face if he were extradited, including solitary confinement, Special Administrative Measures, and extreme restrictions at ADX Florence, would drive Assange to suicide. She ruled it would therefore be unjust to extradite Assange to the U.S. and ordered his release. *
