On an MSNBC interview about his involvement with human clickbait Roger Stone, comedian Randy Credico stated that he'd spoken with Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff to inform him that Julian Assange is willing to be interviewed and share information which will show that "there is no collusion".
WikiLeaks has responded to this claim with its standard statement that Assange doesn't communicate with the public via third parties and asserted that the publication's editor-in-chief has not said what he would talk about if such a meeting occurred. Assange has repeatedly publicly marveled at the fact that nobody who is supposedly investigating Russia's alleged involvement in the 2016 US election has ever reached out to him for an interview or information, seeing as he plays such a central role in the official narrative that Russia hacked Democratic Party emails and gave them to WikiLeaks.
In response to follow-up requests for information from MSNBC's Ari Melber following Credico's interview, Adam Schiff's office responded that "Our committee would be willing to interview Julian Assange when he is in U.S. custody, not before.”
Adam Schiff is the ranking Democrat in the House Intelligence Committee, one of the numerous federal institutions which has investigated the alleged Russian election meddling and the possibility of the Trump campaign's collusion therewith. Does he have inside information verifying some basis for the Trump administration's stated agenda of arresting Julian Assange? Or is he just being his usual, bug-eyed fascist self?
It has been nearly two months since the Ecuadorian embassy cut Assange off from internet access, phone calls and visitors on the day he'd been scheduled to give evidence before the UK's Digital Culture, Media and Sport committee as part of its inquiry into the Cambridge Analytica scandal and Russia. He has remained there effectively detained without charge for over seven years, and now he is reportedly in imminent danger of being forced out of the embassy where he is under political asylum. The British government has been consistently refusing to say whether it has an extradition request for Assange from the United States, and today we have one more US political insider giving us yet another reason to fear that Assange setting foot outside the embassy will put him directly into the hands of the same establishment which tortured Chelsea Manning.
And Adam Schiff wants that. Rather than possibly receiving free pertinent information from a central figure in a large-scale investigation right now, Schiff wants to at some point in the future imprison a journalist for publishing truthful, authentic documents about the United States government.
Adam Schiff is a virulent interventionist who has never met a war he didn't like, receives large amounts of funding from the arms industry and votes in lockstep with the American supremacist neoconservatives on all foreign policy matters. He has dedicated the last year and a half to helping to advance longstanding neocon agendas against Russia with the aim of crippling America's rivals. Adam Schiff would like nothing better than to see US soldiers goose-stepping victoriously into the capital of every nation on earth, switching out their flags, and throwing their dissident journalists into prison.
Adam Schiff is a fascist.
The American antifascism movement comes from the notion that if Americans aren't very careful and don't aggressively fight fascism wherever it rears its ugly head, at some point in the future it may become the norm and take over the United States. The problem with that perspective, of course, is that it assumes as its premise that fascism has not already been the norm since well before Trump. So you wind up seeing things like rank-and-file Trump supporters getting beaten by masked protesters for wearing a MAGA hat while Adam Schiff is free to advance the agenda of American supremacist world domination and push for the imprisonment of anti-establishment journalists.
The persecution of Julian Assange has proven him right about everything. The world is indeed being increasingly dominated by an oppressive one-party empire that is unaccountable to voters and built on lies, and the most threatening thing to that empire is indeed the light of truth. WikiLeaks has proved an absolutely devastating weapon against war and oligarchy and the lies that we are told to facilitate them, and that is why the fascist empire has silenced Assange and targeted him for destruction.
We must not let that happen. We must not let the Adam Schiffs win.

What's your take on the Trump administration?
I've said this a couple times in the last couple days, unless they can prove Assange hacked or stole the information he released there is no crime. Publishing is not a crime, they would have to imprison everyone who printed the information Assange released. By making threats they, in my opinion, are in essence keeping Assange imprisoned inside the embassy by intimidating him into believing they will arrest him. What better way to imprison someone you can't legally imprison. At the most they could use the hack and the fact he published the emails to justify getting a extradition request to question him. If Assange knows in his heart that he was sent those emails and had nothing to do with hacking them he has nothing to fear coming out of the embassy. He's considered a hero to half the people in the US and any case the government would level at him would come under extreme examination by the citizens in the US. They would never get away with false imprisonment of him, which is basically what they are doing right now, they can watch every move he makes and as we now see are fully capable of controlling his every movement...why would they want him out?...they don't.
What Chelsea Manning did was wrong. Just like Snowden. There is other avenues these people can go down but they choose the route they took and it's criminal. Chelsea by no means was being tortured. I have a brother whose been in solitary confinement for years. This isn't a third world country. She could still have visitors, make phone calls, receive mail and be allowed time outside her cell each day to go outside, granted that was a enclosed fenced area away from other inmates but she wasn't living in a hole in the ground with no access sitting in the darkness. They are lodged next to other cells that they can talk through the walls, drain openings to inmates next to them. They also have a creative way that once the guard check goes by they slip stuff to each passing it from cell to cell from underneath a gap at the bottom of the door. She also more than likely had plenty of money being sent to her whereas she could buy plenty of extra food items, writing materials and subscribe to books, magazine and activity books to keep her busy not to mention the hundreds of letters she received from supporters she could answer to keep herself occupied. They also are allowed televisions which have cable television. Really rough way to go, yes, torture?...hardly.
You're making it sound as though the rule of law is something that is actually respected in the US. It isn't. The facts don't matter. If (although it now seem more like a matter of when) Assange leaves the embassy, he can expect to be arrested and extradited to the US.
You are also confusing a regular prison and a military prison. Two different species. And that's making the assumption that he might not end up in one of Gina's "special" prisons
No I had a opinion that our government knows they will pay the price if they try and imprison Assange, it won't be taken lightly by the American people.
They can't even bring him here unless they can prove to a judge that there is enough evidence to prove he stole the materials published and/or that there is enough evidence to warrant bringing him here for questioning as to who did. The latter being more probable.
Even if they could come up with something substantial it would fall under the federal laws, which means the federal prison system, which for the most part are a lot better than state operated prisons.
"The world is indeed being increasingly dominated by an oppressive one-party empire that is unaccountable to voters and built on lies, and the most threatening thing to that empire is indeed the light of truth."
You said it. That's why the elite are so desperately trying to shut down avenues or access to open and free communication and trying to disrupt those networks because they know the people are becoming more aware of their bullfuckery.
That's why there is a massive government/corporate push to shut down the internet with the FCC and roll back of net neutrality, government monitoring of all internet activity, YouTube demonetization of any content deemed non-advertiser friendly to the establishment, social media and tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Twitter telling us what is true or not, facial recognition for permanent real time tracking and monitoring of the entire population, attacks on free speech world wide, attacks on the 2nd amendment in America, and much more.
The shut down of society and steady slide into fascistic authoritarian rule is being rolled out in the name of combating 'fake news' (the mainstream media is a huge pusher of fake news) or fighting terrorism (which Western governments are greatly responsible for directly or indirectly arming, funding, and/or training the very terrorists we are supposed to be afraid of). It's all a scam. Governments and corporations don't give a shit about the people apart from the life and wealth that can be siphoned off them. But thankfully more people are waking up to what's really going on, and that's why the elite are hell bent on controlling information, which is why people need to keep sharing information and supporting those who publish it.
