BREAKING THIS MORNING: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested at Ecuadorian Embassy in London. ABC News' WrightUps has the latest.

Assange became a famous whistleblower when WikiLeaks began publishing some of the world's most-closely guarded official secrets leaked to them more than a decade ago, but he became embroiled in a global political scandal as Mueller's investigators probed whether WikiLeaks had any role in collaborating with Russian military intelligence to disseminate hacked emails that were damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign shortly before the election.

During a radio interview in December, Moreno stated that the Ecuadorian government has received written assurances from the U.K. government that Assange would not be extradited to face the death penalty abroad. In November, newly discovered court documents filed by federal prosecutors from the Eastern District of Virginia revealed that Assange appears to have "been charged" with a federal crime.

Assange is not the defendant in the Virginia case, but while arguing for the specific details of the ongoing case to remain sealed, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kellen Dwyer apparently failed to delete all references to Assange in the document about the unrelated case and made mention of " the fact that Assange has been charged."

WrightUps And So It Begins...

WrightUps The lead up to what will become a Kangaroo Court in America. Count on the purveyors of American Fake News at to couch their reporting in a manner that attempts to make the case for the prosecution.

Santucci WrightUps 🤦‍♂️

WrightUps So, is the Trump strategy to throw Russia rogue actors, Assange, and Roger Stone under the bus as the real villains in this Mueller report saga? Will we finally learn what this was about?

WrightUps If you go snooping in your partner's phone & find evidence of their infidelity and alert all parties involved, what's the real crime? We're so focused on Julian assange whistle blowing on the US rather than the actual crimes they've committed that have costed thousands of lives.

WrightUps He's an American hero, but guilty as hell!!

WrightUps that is what the Lords UKHouseofLords say is “no one is above the law” so I wouldn’t have to say that in a case of law they are in while I am ruling this not case law ever and very good the metpoliceuk carried him out correctly

WrightUps Facing justice? You people sicken me.

WrightUps He should have cleaned his room.

WrightUps that is what the Lords say is “no one is above the law” so I wouldn’t have to say that in a case of law they are in while I am ruling this not case law ever

WrightUps This will help roger stone because julian will testify under oath once he gets to the US that he never communicated with roger stone so mueller's case will completely fall apart at that point.

WrightUps Watch for his failsafe to kick in. Betting we’ll see a massive document dump very soon

WrightUps

WrightUps Extradite him to the U.S. for the crimes!

WrightUps WikiLeaks was right when they sensed there was a secret agreement to deliver Assange

WrightUps

WrightUps Swedish🇸🇪 Law and Order Masterclass strikes again. Respect🙌🙌🙌

WrightUps FreeAssange

WrightUps The man actually started his prison sentence 7 years ago, just without uniforms. He looked like he hasn't seen sunlight in ages.

WrightUps

WrightUps Interesting how much effort to get Assange yet Roman Polanski is OK ?

WrightUps Bout time!!!!!

UK pledges it won't send Assange to country with death penalty: EcuadorBritain has guaranteed to Ecuador that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will not... Usually, I do not agree with my country extraditing anyone to the US. American justice is off the rails. However, Assange should be executed for treason, he’s an information terrorist, and we outlawed that, so he absolutely should be sent back to the USA. Wait a cotton-pickin' minute. We have the death penalty. 😖 This is incorrect. As long as the country he is sent to agrees not to use the death penalty, they will send him there. The US had to agree to this to get El Chapo. They have never reneged on that promise.
