RE: Considering the lies being spun about Julian Assange as he is taken into custody by the UK from inside the Ecuadorian embassy...
From what I read on Twitter, Trump just said he doesn't anything about Wikileaks or Assange "not my thing". How's that for a black mark? I can see why many in the US want to believe he's going to drain the swamp or whatever, but he's not. No one is, sadly.
Draining the swamp is likely an impossible task. Especially when so many of his advisors are part of the swamp.
It may not be his thing now. It could become his thing.
It is a black mark, but it is not his exclusively. This is not a Trump thing. It predates him and is being driven by the swamp. The key is that Ecuador caved. That involved getting a president that was less sympathetic with Assange than the one that was president when he was given asylum. Had this Ecuadorian president been in power sooner this could have happened earlier.
Here is another possibility (me speculating). Why now? Who benefits? At the moment it is being used as yet another chance to attack Trump. In this case they are using Assange whom is someone many Trump supporters see as a hero. Could this be why it is happening now?
It is a global war. It is just being fought in ways unlike any war we've had before.
