'unt sucks up to CBS Archived Message Posted by johnlilburne on June 2, 2019, 7:47 pm MARGARET BRENNAN: The U.S. has filed an extradition request with your government to have Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, here in the United States to face justice. We know U.N. officials raised concerns about human rights violations if he's sent here. Does your government take that seriously? FOREIGN SECRETARY HUNT: Well, we have absolute confidence in the judicial processes in the U.S. The U.S. and the U.K. are the two countries that do more to stand up for the rule of law across the world. We- both our Constitution strongly respect the independence of the judiciary. But Julian Assange is someone who is alleged to have committed some very serious crimes, alleged to have led to people's deaths. And so it is absolutely right that he faces justice and he has no more reason to escape justice than anyone else who is alleged to have committed crimes. So I think what's happened is the right thing. MARGARET BRENNAN: So if you do become prime minister you would not stand in the way of an extradition of Assange to the United States? FOREIGN SECRETARY HUNT: Well we would have to follow our own legal processes just as the U.S. has to follow its own legal processes. But do I think- would I want to stand in the way of Julian Assange facing justice? No I would not. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-british-foreign-secretary-jeremy-hunt-on-face-the-nation-june-2-2019/ Message Thread: 'unt sucks up to CBS - johnlilburne June 2, 2019, 7:47 pm A pair of 'unts. - johnlilburne June 2, 2019, 7:53 pm Re: A pair of 'unts. - Raskolnikov June 3, 2019, 6:34 am Berkshire really is a prize vile emetic; one of the nastiest.
