Chelsea Manning wasn't tortured, not in the true sense of torture, please go view my comment on that thread to Caitlin. This isn't a third world country that throws people in a dungeon.

Believe me nothing like a arrest warrant for Assange would be a secret here anymore with all the leaking. It's appalling to say the least. People have lost all confidence in the intelligence community here. They can investigate and assemble all they want but it doesn't mean they are going to come up with connections....maybe that's what Assange is afraid of, that they did, but if he knows there is no way they could he has nothing to fear by threats that, in my opinion, are made to coerce him into self containment. You have to admit if you don't have strong enough evidence against someone there's no better way to jail them then if they opt to kept themselves contained. Like I said in a prior comment people here have voting power and any move against Assange is going to be met with that voting power and the politicians know that. Furthermore, in my personal opinion he'd better off to come out under the Trump administration then to wait and take a chance with another democratic administration in the future, those people are so angry that Hillary lost they still can't get over it and would be more than likely to apply extreme amount of pressure to hang Assange anyway they could find.
