In reply to the discussion: Julian Assange: Hunted by America's Violent Empire [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)92. No the grand jury is about Manning
Whatever US elected officials said, even if they did say such things (and I'm starting to doubt that without links) that doesn't mean the legal system will not work. Dianne Feinstein does not control the legal system.
Facts are indeed facts - the US is just not interested. Julian has not had much affect. I am sorry for those who need a hero and thought they saw one in him, but the fact is, he's a sad little paranoid fellow who is using his supporters all for nothing. All he has to do is go to Sweden and clear things up.
