Julian Assange has been locked away in one place or another for more than a decade.

Julian Assange is so despised by elements within the permanent U.S. government that at one point

CIA Director Mike Pompeo discussed murdering

him in the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he was seeking asylum.

Mike Pompeo has never been charged for that, which is a crime.

Unelected bureaucrats can't just murder people they don't like.

And he probably never will be charged with a crime.

Virtually the entire ruling class in Washington

is opposed to Julian Assange and that's the reason that he has sat for years now in

Belmarche prison in London. Keep in mind Julian Assange has not been charged with a crime in

Great Britain, and yet he's being held there. So this fall, we went to Belmarsh and we asked

Julianne's Hunt, why do you think you're being held as the most wanted man in America without ever being

charged with a real crime. Here's what he told us. We talked about why he is in

prison and my first question to him was what do you think this is actually

about since you haven't been accused of a crime? And he said something that really struck me

and I think having spent my life in Washington is absolutely right.

He said he first became famous when WikiLeaks published documents and videos

that the US government had kept secret from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

they were gravely embarrassing to the Pentagon but that's that wasn't the

red line the red line was several years later when WikiLeaks published information about surveillance by the CIA.

And so I asked him directly, are you aware of anyone being harmed or killed on the basis of information they published?

He said, of course not.
