State of play with Assmange case

[professor rat]

Background - Mange pled guilty to breaking-and-entering north-americano servers in the 90's

Its alleged he TRIED breaking and entering norte-american servers AGAIN the next decade.

Since this investigation began more charges have been alleged re-espionage, theft, etc with NSA/ CIA

stuff. That just happened recently.  It would seem to guarantee a swift and speedy extradition, but, you can 

probably second-guess the stock market better than any legal system. 

On the Bradass theft charges I don't think we have a dog in that hunt.  Asshead washed his hands of Iraq in 2013.

Why shouldn't we wash our hands of him?  He waddles like a repeat crim and quacks like one...KABOOM!

Better him than us.

Now onto the NSA/ CIA stuff.  Lots of opportunities to greymail the USG here. I don't see these charges going anywhere.
We might pressure him to release them to us - maybe time-stamped / locked like a deadmans switch?

Some tactical support might be justified here. On the other hand - what do we care about ANY corpse-media cretin?

Hacking tools are highly perishable, I hear. Like opportunistic Aussie con-artists.

Caveat lecter - you lie down with dogs...

Finally what to make of Mange 2016?

I think - for once! - the assclown finally did something revolutionary and cypherpunk!

The problem though is attribution is NP hard and there were others ( Russian, Comey, the net ) equally involved.

Bit like " Murder on the Orient Express"!

It would be very cool - even world historical - to have US POTUS election kingmaker on your resume.

But, Julio - you have to WANT it. 

Yrs in cypherpunk revolt - hit me up on IC when you get out.
