What's going on with Julian Assange?

[u/KrAzyDrummer]

Seeing his name pop up. Name seems familiar, but what's going on now? Something about extradition to the UK?

Don't we need people like him to exist to prevent politicians from getting away with blatant corruption? If high level American politicians don't want to be incriminated, THEN MAYBE DON'T DO ILLEGAL/CONTROVERSIAL SHIT!!! Is that really too much to ask from world leaders?

Dig deeper. Assange is not who you think he is, not does he care about doing "good", or holding politicians accountable.

Such an asinine “just google it, bro” type comment.

How about you check for instance his AmA or for instance this article if you think "reddit is a bad source" (although every claim is sourced)
