More revelations of state corruption in the Assange extradition hearing.
Assange judge is 40-year āgood friendā of minister who orchestrated his arrest
Julian Assangeās fate lies in the hands of an appeal judge who is a close friend of Sir Alan Duncan - the former foreign minister who called Assange a āmiserable little wormā in parliament.
Lord Chief Justice Ian Burnett, the judge that will soon decide Julian Assangeās fate, is a close personal friend of Sir Alan Duncan, who as foreign minister arranged Assangeās eviction from the Ecuadorian embassy.
The two have known each other since their student days at Oxford in the 1970s, when Duncan called Burnett āthe Judgeā. Burnett and his wife attended Duncanās birthday dinner at a members-only London club in 2017, when Burnett was a judge at the court of appeal.
Now the most powerful judge in England and Wales, Burnett will soon rule on Assangeās extradition case. The founder of WikiLeaks faces life imprisonment in the US.
In his recently published diaries, In The Thick of It, Duncan wrote in July 2017: āMy good friend and Oxford contemporary Ian Burnett is announced as the next Lord Chief Justice.ā
He continued: āAt Oxford we always called him āthe Judgeā and they always called me āPrime Ministerā, but Ianās the one whoās got there.ā
In an emailed response to Declassified, Lord Chief Justice Burnett confirmed he and Duncan have been āfriends since university daysā.
Duncan studied politics and economics at St Johnās College, Oxford from 1976-79, while Burnett studied jurisprudence at Pembroke College in the same period.
āAt Oxford we always called him āthe Judgeā and they always called me āPrime Ministerāā
āMiserable little wormā
Duncanās diaries also show that as foreign minister he spoke privately to Lord Chief Justice Burnett in May 2019, a conversation that was not logged in government records. Burnett briefed him on a dinner heād had with then prime minister Theresa May two days before.
But Duncan told Declassified: āThere was nothing that was required to be ālogged in government recordsā.ā He and Burnett both said nothing related to their roles as a minister or judge was discussed.
Duncan served as foreign minister for Europe and the Americas from 2016-19. He was the key official in the UK government campaign to force Assange from the embassy.
As minister, Duncan did not hide his opposition to Julian Assange, calling him a āmiserable little wormā in parliament in March 2018.
In his diaries, Duncan refers to the āsupposed human rights of Julian Assangeā. He admits to arranging a Daily Mail hit piece on Assange that was published the day after the journalistās arrest in April 2019.
Duncan watched UK police pulling the WikiLeaks publisher from the Ecuadorian embassy via a live-feed in the Operations Room at the top of the Foreign Office.
He later admitted he was ātrying to keep the smirk off [his] faceā, and hosted drinks at his parliamentary office for the team involved in the eviction.
Duncan then flew to Ecuador to meet President LenĆn Moreno in order to āsay thank youā for handing over Assange. Duncan reported he gave Moreno āa beautiful porcelain plate from the Buckingham Palace gift shop.ā
āJob done,ā he added.
āGenerous presentā
Duncanās diaries also highlight a birthday dinner held for him in June 2017 that was attended by Burnett and his wife. The dinner, held at the private Beefsteak club in London the day before the general election, was a āgenerous present from David Rossā, Duncan noted.
Ross, a businessman and co-founder of Carphone Warehouse, has funded an array of Conservative MPs, including Duncan, and gave the Conservative Party Ā£250,000 to fight the 2019 election.
Other guests included the Syrian-Saudi billionaire businessman Wafic SaĆÆd. Long close to the Saudi royal family, SaĆÆd helped negotiate the massive UK-Saudi arms deal known as al-Yamamah in the 1980s.
SaĆÆdās wife, Rosemary, who was also in attendance, is another major donor to the Conservative Party and has funded Boris Johnson. She was a guest at David Cameronās āLeaderās Groupā meetings of key party donors.
Other attendees at Duncanās birthday dinner included William Hague, Duncanās close colleague and friend, who was foreign secretary when the UK decided not to recognise the asylum granted to Assange by the Ecuadorian government.
Also present was Salma Shah, an adviser to Sajid Javid when, as home secretary, he controversially certified the initial US extradition request for Assange.
Sir Alan Duncan and Lord Chief Justice Burnett both told Declassified they have never discussed the Julian Assange case with each other.

Georgia's Raffensperger Files Lawsuit Against Justice Department Over Request For Documents
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R-GA) filed a lawsuit against the Biden administrationās Department of Justice (DOJ) for information about the departmentās lawsuit against Georgiaās election integrity law.
Raffenspergerās lawsuit seeks to enforce a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request sent by the secretary months prior to find the motivations behind the DOJās initial case.
āConsidering how blatantly political the Biden lawsuit against Georgiaās commonsense election law was from the beginning, itās no surprise they would stonewall our request for basic transparency,ā Raffensperger said. āI will always fight for truth and integrity in Georgiaās electionsā¦ā
(considering how untransparent Brad Raffensperger has been to the people of Georgia regarding election fraud in the 2020 election, it is humorous he now talks of transparency with DOJ)
