| 0:00.0 | This is Handel on the Law, marginal legal advice, where I tell you, you have absolutely no case. |
| 0:16.7 | Now, when Julian Assange went into the Ecuadorian consulate, if you remember seven years ago, |
| 0:22.8 | one of the things he argued, the reason he asked for asylum and was given it to him by Ecuador and citizenship, |
| 0:29.9 | was that he was afraid that he would be charged for a political crime, which is a crock. |
| 0:37.1 | But anyway, he said, Sweden wants me, and then there's an extradition request from the United States, |
| 0:41.9 | and all they want to do is nail me for publishing the WikiLeak or publishing the information |
| 0:50.4 | about the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton business. And he said, |
| 0:55.6 | that's political. And the Ecuadorian government agreed. And he said, if it ever happens that I am |
| 1:00.7 | extradited, then it's going to be a political issue. And Ecuador really was upset about that |

| 1:35.6 | Then the United States has acts for extradition based on he was complicit in stealing classified information from the U.S. government via Chelsea Manning. |
| 1:48.9 | And they're saying he was part of the plot to get that information. |
| 1:54.3 | Now, he's going to argue that Chelsea Manning just gave it to him and then he published it. |
| 1:58.2 | There, I think he's got a true First Amendment argument, |
| 2:01.1 | but not if he was part and parcel of it. |
| 2:03.0 | So what's going to happen to good old Julian Assange? |
| 2:07.7 | Hopefully he goes down pretty hard because he is a sleaze ball. |
| 2:11.9 | And the fun part is the only reason the Ecuadorian government kicked him out of the consulate |
