The Australian federal politicians have explicitly called on the US to drop the prosecution of Julian Assange, who remains in Belmarsh prison in the UK, warning of “a sharp and sustained outcry in Australia” if the WikiLeaks founder is extradited.

Assange is a rapist that works for Russian intelligence.

Do you have any source for that?

Notice how he has never once published anything that puts Russia or US Republicans in bad light

What do you want to say? Even if we assume that's true (I don't, but let's ignore that for now), what does that mean? If someone never published something that puts X in bad light, are they all spies for X then?
