Assange Trial Live:
Day 2.
Prosecution testimony.
Sound issues have made it nearly impossble for global journalists to follow what is being said, even from within the courtroom itself.
But Claire Dobbins, the attorney for the U.S. has thusly argued that:
The CIA plot to kill Assange doesnt matter to the extradition request.
That UK law does not forbid political extradition (UK treaty, vs. 2003 reformed extradition act).
That Assange is not a political prisoner because two administrations have pursued political charges (absurdist)
And is arguing currently, after being stopped by a judge; that if such information were leaked in the UK -and was "damaging" (although the US determind no one was directly harmed by the release); then it would be prosecutable.
In short, the U.S. legal argument is completely absurd and full of factual errors. We are witnessing a clown show.
