Julian Assange?

Julian Assange is hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, England. He has been granted asylum by Ecuador. Three rape charges against him in Sweden have expired. One last  charge will not expire till 2020. Mr. Assange  does not want to face justice or defend himself in a court of law, so he hides. His biggest fear is my country. After he answers the rape charge, he will probably be deported to the United States. He obtained documents that he had no right to and published them. Did he think that the United States would give him hugs and kisses?

I guess it doesn't bother some that President elect Donald Trump quotes Assange like he is a righteous man.  It bothers me that  Trump would quote him as proof that Russia is not hacking. Hiding from rape charges gives Assange no credibility.

I watched news feeds and read information from the following news feeds before blogging.
