>they don't play an active and knowing role in foreign intelligence operations

Let's recap the evidence you have provided showing he played a "active and knowing role." First, that his show aired on RT. Second, that Wikileaks published the information they received. That is not a convincing argument.

If further evidence did emerge clearly showing Assange knowingly and actively assisting Russia, my position on the legality of his actions may change, and punishing him would not violate his rights.

>And it wasn't a foreign spy agency feeding them stolen materials to leak for destructive purposes

No, but many of the CIA's worldwide operations are exactly that. Plus, I don't find a domestic spy agency feeding them stolen materials for destructive purposes much better.

>Yeah that's not what he said

Those are my words, based on similar trials I have mentioned. He may have had other choices, at this point he would not receive a fair trial. Zaid already believes he deserves the punishment, like you do, so you both seem unconcerned about whether his trial would be fair.

I'm done with this bad faith nonsense, i've addressed the multiple people trying to shift the conversation away from what I said towards RT.

Assange, the guy that promised us all he would "open governments" takes his orders from a murderous KGB thug.

And he has no end of people still willing to make excuses for him (that's you).

Not believing he's a Kremlin agent without evidence isn't making excuses for him.
