The connection from Assange to Russia was laid out in the OP. Russia had a vested interest in skewing and interfering with US politics in 2016.
There's the relevancy you failed to see.
Even if Assange himself was openly interfering in US politics, how is that relevant? If he isn't a US person, and he's not on US soil, why would he be bound by US law? US law isn't universal law, you know.
People don't like the guy, that's enough jurisdiction for them!
From this thread, looks like you're right, sadly...
I can't tell if we got bots/shills but these assange threads are getting swamped with comments and voting.
Not sure if this real public sentiment or somebody is setting it for this "sensitive" topic.
Nobody can really properly state their position beyond, that guy is a rapist and russian asset... seems like an op tbh
Same old smear attempts that US has been using for a decade.
