Ecuador agrees to let Sweden question Julian Assange over rape accusation

That's how it works when you get in the way of the Clintons. So long as Assange was a good little boy and only attacked the American Right, all was well. But then he got between the Queen Whore and her lust for the Oval Office. Now his informants are being killed and he'll be sent before a conjured drumhead to be browbeaten into submission. Failing that, he'll suffer a mysterious "accident," as have so many of the Clintons' political opponents.

The only difference between professional politicians and mobsters is that the latter do not pretend they aren't criminals.
