Why do you feel he's "working for Russian interests" rather than their interests simply aligning? It's well known that Assange hated Hillary. It's far more likely he that if got material from Russia he published it in spite of it being from them rather than because they directed him to do so. He's on record in interviews as saying the following:
“Trump is a completely unpredictable phenomenon. You can’t predict what he would do in office. Hillary was overriding the Pentagon’s reluctance to overthrow Muammar Qaddafi. ... She has a long history of being a liberal war hawk, and we presume that she’s going to proceed.”
“Hillary Clinton is receiving constant updates about my personal situation; she has pushed for the prosecution of WikiLeaks. We do see her as more of a problem for freedom of the press generally.”

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange smeared poop over the walls of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London before he was unceremoniously dragged away from his hideout of 7 years, it has been claimed. The new information was revealed by Ecuador’s Interior Minister after Assange was arrested by British police officers on April 11. Lenin Moreno, the country's President, accused the Australian man of "discourteous and aggressive behavior" as he confirmed that the Wikileaks founder's asylum status has been withdrawn.

Being serious, it is possible he has had a mental decline. Being restricted to a small place without outside contact & always having fear of being arrested must take a toll on a persons mind.
What an asshole. I think granting asylum and then revoking it is far more discourteous and aggressive.
I mean, your weirdo cousin that you haven't seen in decades shows up with nowhere to go, you kindly offer support, they end up living on your couch for several years, doing nothing but eating your food, paying no bills or rent, breaking your shit, inviting over street sluts and crackheads....how long before you decide to kick them out for your (and their) benefit? ...or would that just be too discourteous and aggressive?

She, however, did not make it clear if he had used his own poop or someone else's.
Yeah, I mean that would be a great analogy if you added the fact that your weirdo cousin was in the crosshairs of powerful carcereal state for exposing war crimes.
Take a homelesss Guy into your place and check back in after a few months to tell us how it went.
I literally did that and made a thread about it here.
Trump's response:
Hardly knew him, never saw the guy. Played golf occasionally with him, but didn't know him at all.
Really, really generous of you.
Any thoughts on the dumb analogy, or just shitposting?
Whether or not you like Assange, the charge against him is a serious press freedom threat and should be vigorously protested by all those who care about the First Amendment.
Still a good analogy. You are the exception and I suspect it would go differently with another attempt or more simply put if the homeless guy was spreading shit in the walls I’d assume you’d act differently

So if you lived in Amsterdam in the early '40s you would have given up the Jews in your attic to Nazis looking for them if they were spreading shit on the wall?
Somewhere in all this Assange's defenders overlook the idea that he may have crossed the line when he tried to help Manning crack passwords of US govt systems. That's the accusation in a nutshell. None of the rest of it is alleged to be criminal.
Ahh, probably a simple oversight by the ACLU and the Freedom of the Press Foundation.
