Are Liberals Too Eager to Believe Sex Charges Against Julian Assange?

140. Yes, he did. But I did not. Karl Rove fled to Sweden when he was wanted here by

Congress in relation to the case of the firing of the US Attorneys.

Do you know why they were fired btw? The allegations against Rove in that case were that he was pressuring US Attorneys to fabricate crimes against Democratic Politicians and smear them with false allegations so that they would be ruined, politically.

Some of those US Attorneys, despite being Republicans, could not find any evidence to charge these Democrats with and refuse to fabricate it. Coincidentally, as is always the case with Rove, so many coincidences in his otherwise exemplary life, eight of those US Attorneys were fired.

Rove refused to answer Congress' subpoenas and we were all waiting for the US Marshals to go get him. But Rove had to go to Sweden to visit his ancestors or something, and that appears to be last we heard of those crimes.

So then, just recently we find out that Rove is a great friend and political adviser to Sweden's PM and just happened to be in Sweden right at the very time that Assange had threatened to reveal information about some Big Banks, July of 2010 to be exact.

One month later, August of 2010, Assange was involved in a 'sex scandal'. Somehow and against Sweden's own laws, on the same night the women went to the police to 'ask some questions about a test for STDs', the Right Wing Tabloid, Expressen, received the information and illegally splashed the words 'rape' and 'Assange' across their headlines. So far, the criminal responsible for that leak, has not been apprehended.

I did follow all of this at the time but had no idea back then, that Rove and Swedish PM Fredrik Reinfeldt were such close buddies nor did we know that Karl Rove and the Swedish FM were also very, very long time friends.

But we all know that Karl Rove as an adviser to Presidents and Prime Ministers would never stoop so low as to try to smear a News Organization that had just revealed the War Crimes of his friends in the Bush administration.

Just like we know that he would never have had anything to do with outing Valerie Plame, or firing US Attorneys who refused to smear honest politicians.

But it's interesting, don't you think? Such an incredible coincidence which certainly adds a little more 'context' to a case that from the beginning was extremely questionable.

Information is always valuable and Rove's connections to the anti-Wikileaks factions in Sweden is certainly interesting.
