You know, the same thing they did to Assange. I wonder how that's going. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/06/28/assa-j28.html

Maybe if those two guys had kept their dicks in their pants and not gone around molesting and raping as if they were somehow immune to any consequences, they'd not have got in any trouble for it.

Not everything is a shadowy government conspiracy. Most often, people behave despicably just by themselves. Particularly the arrogant, domineering egotists - such as the two you mentioned.

>>Sigurdur “Siggi” Thordarson, a convicted criminal from Iceland, has admitted that the main allegations he made against Julian Assange, which form a central component of the US indictment against the WikiLeaks founder, were lies proffered in exchange for immunity from American prosecution.

It literally was a government conspiracy. If that hadn't worked they would have planted some child porn on both of them. And if that didn't they'd have done an Epstein.

It is always hilarious seeing people with a Che shirt defending the CIA.
