I’m sorry he had to admit guilt, but I see how it was necessary for the US to finally give up this insane battle.

I honestly can’t believe we’re living to see Julian walk free. I’m not certain he can either.

Go home and finally get some rest you poor sod. You’ve earned it.

Finally he will able to properly process the results of the built up trauma, poor guy.

I for one am happy to see the global support for him expressed. It’s sad that those who stand up for the rights of others have to suffer so much.

This reeks of Biden trying to generate talking points for the upcoming debate.

how does Assange have anything to do with Biden...? Can we leave politics out of this.

he took the plea deal because he fears a Trump presidency is coming and Trump has a bone to pick with the guy

now, he's free instead of facing 519378347 years in prison
