Maybe because Assange tried to sell information for a pardon. I think if Assange had come clean and laid it all out without trying to bargain for a pardon, he would have gotten that pardon.
Sure. But that would negate the mythos of him being a selfless hero.
My other concern is whether or not he actually aided and abetted Bradley Manning's hack rather than just receiving a leak. That being said, the bullshit rape allegations against him puts a huge question mark in the government's case against him. There doesn't seem to be a good party in this. He is dirty. The government is dirty.
Dude risked life and limb just to inform us, I think that's heroic especially in light of EVERY OTHER FUCKING ELECTED traitor in office right now who has a sworn duty.
The fact that he is dirty doesn't bother me as much as long as the info is solid which it appears to be. The system will assasinate your character in order to discredit and we saw that with Trump.
It wouldn't have done a damn thing. As soon as it was done they'd just levied new charges. Or more than likely the fucks at the Justice Department would have run interference for any such action.
What Julian showed up Trump revealed to the masses that The Swamp runs deep on both sides and into the other branches.
Seth Rich's murder case went cold. We never found his killer. If Rich was Asssange's source in the DNC leaks, this provides motive for his murder. To withhold this information and use it as a bargaining chip to obtain a pardon is not the act of a selfless hero.
He said in an interview, or at least implied it was Seth, who gave his life being an informant. It's possible he doesn't know who was directly behind his murder, except the DNC, in general. Who would you pin the blame on, John podesta? Hillary? There's a hundred people who probably wanted him dead. If Julian hasn't revealed it, and he hasn't gotten anything in return, I don't think he knows
And yet Trump pardoned Lil Wayne and some other gangsta retards over Assange and Snowden, both of whom revealed our government's corruption and hatred for its own citizens at great personal cost. SAD.
Always remember the RINO's that threatened trump if he pardon'ed Assange. I believe when trump comes back he'll make it right, but its a long game and a sacrifice that is hard to swallow.

Anyone down voting me please explain to me how Trump stood up for us in the end and didn't save his own ass??.... Please I would love to hear it!! ... I'm sure the people rotting in solitary confinement would love to hear how Trump still has their back!!!
One of Trump’s biggest failures during his presidency was not pardoning this guy. YUGE mistake.
Agree 100%. That one still blows my mind
Trump had a chip on his shoulder when it came to Assange. Didn’t make any sense.
Maybe because Assange tried to sell information for a pardon. I think if Assange had come clean and laid it all out without trying to bargain for a pardon, he would have gotten that pardon.
but if your info is all that can protect you i’d be careful too

We sometimes forget that he's pretty neutral, not what we would consider based. We just happen to be on the side with LESS criminals

there were ways to overwhelm even the cheating system. This was one of them.

As if he could have just pardoned whoever he wanted. At that time the CIA had a pistol against his head.
The president literally has the power to pardon whoever he wants lmao
I don't know how you guys can excuse Assange's behavior in the Seth Rich case. There is something not right about this guy.
Explain please

He implied. Heavily. But he would never come out a say it directly.
It would have been very believeable and convenient for him to just say it but if there is no evidence then he did the right thing by being quiet.
And yet Trump pardoned Lil Wayne and some other gangsta retards over Assange and Snowden, both of whom revealed our government's corruption and hatred for its own citizens at great personal cost. SAD.
Yep Trump’s prioritization there is still retarded.
Snowden is a leftist, he acted like a classical liberal and upset the elites when he was in a position to, but now, he would not be on our side
At least he was a fair journalist, them is rare as hen’s teeth these days.
trump fought for asap rocky but left this fucking legendary journalist in Gitmo limbo
Always remember the RINO's that threatened trump if he pardon'ed Assange. I believe when trump comes back he'll make it right, but its a long game and a sacrifice that is hard to swallow.
He’s an Aussie legend... Trump fucked this one up..
Fact checked TRUE. Assange ushered in the Information Age Great Awakening.
The media loved him when he was leaking bushes stuff
False. Alex was exposing stuff years before. Assange should still be pardoned though.
From the Podesta emails:
"And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging."
Yet with him, we could still learn so much more...
Should have pardoned him. Fuck Mitch mccunt
He helped get the snowball rolling, it’s a thousand times bigger now.
hero, trump should pardoned him
Pardon Assange the White
same with Trump. God bless them!!!
