All I've been saying the whole time is the US system is not without flaws and if they want to prosecute Assange they'll find some way of doing it shady or not while you on the other hand just keep on denying that the US system is fallible and corruptable even after I provided examples. The why is pretty well established already given how many US gov't officials are pissed of... the how, like I said... there are ways. I'm done with this regardless.
