In reply to the discussion: Condom used as evidence in Assange sex case 'does not contain his DNA' [View all]pnwmom
(108,977 posts)There's plenty of evidence of his disorder even if you don't believe those women's allegations. His lawyer's ludicrous statement connecting the Libya attacks to his hiding out in the embassy in Libya was typical. Assange's convinced the world revolves around him and anything he does is justified because HE did it.
Any good thing Assange has accomplished was in service to the notoriety his narcissism demands. But that same personality disorder has made him willing to sacrifice innocent people. That's why I find him personally repulsive.
OTOH, finding him personally repulsive doesn't mean I want to see him in prison (unless it turns out he is guilty of rape). I don't think he's at risk of being extradited here, at least under a Democratic administration, because (according to Charles Rangel and others) there are no laws that would support such a prosecution, despite what some Republicans might say -- which is why we didn't extradite him from the UK in all the months he was there. So all his squealing about being sent to Sweden is just an effort to avoid prosecution for the rape allegations, not to avoid prosecution here.
