BREAKING: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested in London after Ecuador withdraws asylum.

Assange, 47, is originally from Australia. He founded WikiLeaks in 2006 and made news four years later with the publication of leaked information provided by Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst and self-described whistleblower.

Manning last month refused to testify before a federal grand jury looking into the release of documents to WikiLeaks. Assange's lawyers have often warned that he would be handed over to U.S. prosecutors because of WikiLeaks' publication of classified documents. Rafael Correa, then the president of Ecuador, granted him asylum in 2012.

Things my mom taught me: Never outstay your welcome as a house guest & never be a burden to your host!

_Breaking BBC announced it long ago. And now you guys add more drama to It? Did you listen to the canciller from Ecuador why ? He was a leech, above all. Can you find a better theme to discuss? BBC a is the best!

In 2010, the Obama Administration protected WikiLeaks under the First Amendment Act. However, there is a VERY thin line between Freedom of Speech and cyber hacking and cyber terrorism.

Note the lack of bone saws! 🤔🙄🤣

_Breaking I will be surprised if DJT let’s any charges be bought. DJT might get DOJ to drop the charges against Assange. During a campaign speech DJT said something to the effect: ‘Wikileaks, I love Wikileaks’.

DNC, we will know the truth about your email scandal !

Now we may know who actually leaked DNC email ?

and everybody thinks that its a coincidence that Ecuador withdrew Assange’s asylum today?

Do Not bring Assange to trump. America is compromised right now. The Whitehouse is working with Putin these days. Do Not Send Assange here! Get his information on Putin!

BYE BYE FELICIA!!!!

I hope Trump pardons him

You can run but you can’t hide

Good.

This man was arrested for revealing war crimes committed by the U.S during Obama´s administration. So sad and pathetic seeing these Liberals praising this. Absolutely pathetic.

I’ll bet Hillary Clinton’s morning got a whole lot better 🤗

Liberals have clearly moved over to the right wing.

I believe Trump when he said ' he doesn't know whoJulian Assange is' he doesn't know a lot things

Julian Assange in full costume for his all male broadway imagining of 'The girl with the Dragon Tattoo' opening in London in May: 'The Douche of many zippers'.

All he needs to do when he gets to US is claim asylum and all criminal activity is absolved.

About f time.

So his buddy Manning who Barry commuted his sentence but is now back in jail will have a cell mate. Once again 44 and his spy network is crumbling.

abc

LOCK HIM UP AT GITMO

Just keeping him safe as the shit is about to really hit the fan on the treasonous scumbag lowlife compromised members of the DeepState and corrupt US government disgraceful officials! WWG1WGA Q PatriotsFIGHT GreatAwakening

That wasn’t Julian Assange that was Jim Carey being carted off to the mental institution because Trump is his president!

The Fourth Estate is Dead..ShameShameShame

hardball When is his execution?

'Worst. Roommate. Ever.' -Ecuadorian Embassay

Good

Good bring him to USA today..pardon him tomarrow..protect to whistle blower. Rite

hardball I wonder if the embassy will have assange stuff on the curb in black plastic bags ans watch people scrabble thru it... Like we see in DC when one is evicted...

No old pix. I want the squawking, bearded hermit!

Very curious to see where this will go. What America needs right now is another 3-ring circus to focus on. But I kid. . . . . .

i wonder if his expulsion will trigger a WIKILEAKS dump of EVERYTHINGAND will the australian govt be there to help out it's citizen, interesting timing on the day the federal australian election is called!

So sad seeing all these Liberals praising that this hero has been arrested.

Wonder if Trump will pardon this guy?

Nyt reported in July about trump threatening to withdraw aid and military support. And how 'bout tariff threats?

Bum!

Hey Julian, thank you for the Podesta emails. Actual Americans will be forever grateful. FreeAssange ThursdayMotivation ThursdayThoughts The200 realDonaldTrump

New AG Barr may provide his get of jail free card since the spy’s are the FBI & CIA & Democrats according to Barr.

hardball So will Bill Barr take control of Assange too? Will we ever get to the truth about Russian Collusion w Trump Campaign?

What a great day to be a human.

Hmmmm...I wonder if this has anything to do with Frontera energies recent news ( very recent) Gran Tierra, Frontera-GeoPark consortium win Ecuador oil contracts?

Hillary will be pleased!!! Meanwhile Chelsea manning is still free...........Thanks obumer!!

We will never see him in America if Donald and his team of swap monsters have a say in it.

BREAKING: Met Police say Julian Assange 'has been further arrested in relation to an extradition warrant on behalf of the United States authorities' for 'an extradition warrant under Section 73 of the Extradition Act.'

Guys, any way we can spin this to blame it on Trump? Im sure you can come up with something. Talk to CNN, both u guys are masters of the FAKE NEWS universe

Now Julian comes to America ... time to tell on Obuma and his lover Putin

Better put security on him. The Clinton's may want him silenced.

Everybody that helped Trumbis going down....

Thank god hope he ends up a jail bride in the US would make my day

So glad this douchebag is in custody. I can't wait until he is extradited to the US. He's FINALLY going to pay for his part in interfering in our election! You're done, it's time to burn! Assange, GameOver

The Kato Kaelin of the Equador B&B?

This strange little man?

That’s great but don’t we also have a Secretary of treasury contempt of Congress this morning just asking?

Liberal logic: Protest Chelsea Manning being arrested. Celebrate Julian Assange being arrested.

Wahrhaftig Good rittens. Now come and get his fat orange friend.

S/o to Ecudaor. A bit late, but never TOO late. Ding, ding motherfuckas.

💥

I would like to introduce you to our new Acting Secretary of Defense, Julian Assange.

All those cheering will be crying soon. lol You have no idea what is about to happen. :)

Boo-boo! F that Russian asset. I know someone in the know about serious computer hacking circles & he told me that everything that Assange ever peddled was given to him by Russia. Reading this FBI. Assange is a straight up Russian criminal breaking international law. Lock him up!

That's excellent news! He's part of Putin's plot to weaken the NATO Alliance

'he will eventually be extradited to the U.S. to face charges'. Awesome but Brits should wait until the Dems takes full control.

Ecuador FINALLY got sick of babysitting Assange and having to tell him to clean up after himself.

American imperialism strikes again!

finallygotjules

More bad news for liberals!!!l Lol!!!!

BYE BYE

Don't drop the soap homey!!

He wet his pants and was yelling HELP ME TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS I HELPED YOU...

Free him

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested by British police after being evicted from Ecuador’s embassy in LondonAssange initially sought asylum in 2012 to fend off extradition to Sweden, where he faced sexual assault allegations. Ecuador accepted Assange and ultimately granted him citizenship. In May 2017, Swedish authorities dropped the sexual assault investigation. But Assange refused to leave the embassy for fear of extradition to the United States, which is investigating him […] Time to drop that 'secret' indictment. My sources say he’ll be extradited to the US in the coming days
