217. Lol, you mean I have been given false information by a small crew of peope here who have no clue

Mon Dec 9, 2013, 09:05 PM

Dec 2013

about law, nor do they seem to care. The FACT is that this small crew is attempting, and failing, to protect War Criminals and Big Banks and in trying to do that are attempting to CHANGE THE FACTS, with little success.

Just post the CHARGES FILED IN SWEDEN AGAINST ASSANGE.

It is a simple request.

You have gone around in CIRCLES trying to avoid answering that simple question but the truth is, NO CHARGES have been filed by the Swedish Prosecutors and the WORLD wants to know why.

Now, just post the CHARGES FILED BY THE SWEDISH PROSECUTOR in SWEDEN.

If you can't do that, then just admit it and move on.

It's hard to have to admit you are wrong, but people respect those who are willing to do so.

I look forward to your admission that the OP is correct, OR to some proof, ANYTHING to back up your claims that Assange has been charged with a crime.
