> That the UK might (based on no evidence presented in this article) be wrangling to convict Assange under contempt statutes, because, I don't know, the UK is super corrupt and out to get Assange.
The UK police basically besieged the embassy for 8 years, spending literal millions of GBP to do so[1].
The prosecution already talked about "contempt of court"[2]. But yeah, it's all in Greenwald's and Assange's head.
As for "corruption" in the UK, Greenwald might be a bit biased[3]. If your partner is essentially taken into Sippenhaft to bully you, you might be too.
And it's not like the UK even extradites it's own citizens to the US, so why would Assange have any reason to worry given he is not even an UK citizen?[4]
