Assange
Lashes Out: "Hypocritical Motherf*ckers... Remember How I
Exposed Your Secret Deal With The Saudis"

March, 2018
Assange
- apparently not included in the UK's definition of "free and
independent media" (facing arrest and detention should
he leave the Embassy), fired off a stunning reply - claiming
that the UK's has spent roughly twice as much spying on him as it has
on their entire international human rights program.
"And that is exactly why you have detained me without charge for eight years in violation of two UN rulings and spent over 20 million pounds spying on me you hypocritical mother fuckers. Your entire international human rights programme is £10.6m you pathetic frauds."

Assange
then followed up with "Remember
how I exposed your secret deal to put Saudi Arabia on the Human
Rights Council?" referring
to a 2015 vote-trading deal in which the UK approached Saudi
Arabia in secret, promising it a seat on the UN Human Rights Council
in exchange for council support.

The
UN, meanwhile, has twice ruled that Assange's detention is unlawful.
Despite this, the judge in his most recent appeal - Emma
Arbuthnot, who said “I find arrest is a proportionate response
even though Mr Assange has restricted his own freedom for a number of
years." Judge Arbuthnot's impartiality in the Assange
matter has been called into question, while her husband and
ex-Conservative MP, Baron
James Arbuthnot,
is listed as the director of a security company along with the
former head of MI6. Not exactly friends of WikiLeaks.
Moreover,
a February report from the Guardian reveals
that Sweden wanted to drop their case against Assange as early
as 2013, but
was pressured by the UK to maintain it.
The newly-released emails show that the Swedish authorities were eager to give up the case four years before they formally abandoned proceedings in 2017 and that the CPS dissuaded them from doing so.
The CPS lawyer handling the case, who has since retired, commented on an article which suggested that Sweden could drop the case in August 2012. He wrote: “Don’t you dare get cold feet!!!”. -The Guardian
In yet another angry
tweet by the WikiLeaks founder, Assange replied to a two-week old
comment by former Eric Holder - blaming the former Attorney
General for putting him in the position to release emails from the
DNC, Hillary Clinton and John Podesta during the 2016 US election.
Ostensibly
getting ahead of the upcoming midterm elections in November, Holder
tweeted "Russian threat to our upcoming elections: do
something!" Holder then called for sanctions, ending the tweet
with "We
were attacked!"
Assange replied: "Attacked? By what? The truth? It's entirely your own fault, Eric. Thanks to your unconstitutional grand jury against @WikiLeaks you left me with nothing to do but work 24/7, in harsh conditions, for years--and I'm good, very good, at my job."
Attacked? By what? The truth?
It's entirely your own fault, Eric. Thanks to your unconstitutional grand jury against @WikiLeaks you left me with nothing to do but work 24/7, in harsh conditions, for years--and I'm good, very good, at my job.
Holder,
who was President Obama's Attorney General, attempted to prosecute
WikiLeaks and Assange personally over the publication of military
documents and US diplomatic cables regarding Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Russia-theorists"
- particularly neoconservatives and hawkish Democrats, have
maintained that WikiLeaks is a "cutout" for Russian to
engage in information warfare, and blame Moscow for the theft
and publication of the leaked emails.
Assange
added to his response to Holder, tweeting "Next time, not that
there will be one, try following the constitution you swore to
uphold," with a link to a 2014 article calling for Holder to
drop the investigation against WikiLeaks or resign.
