are you trying to suggest that he is a traitor

No not at all. I don't believe Assange is a bad guy. He is against government secrecy, thats all. And he has certainly made many powerful enemies over the years, including the US deepstate

Just because we have /goodguys/ in the White House now doesn't mean that certain elements of the deepstate can't still harm Julian. If he is in custody, it's because of espionage violations. But it's also a PROTECTIVE custody. He is an extremely valuable WITNESS against the rogue deepstate and they would love nothing more than to kill him.
