April 11, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - Speaking to Sputnik, Assange’s long-term associate, Randy Credico has shared his views on the legitimacy of the WikiLeaks founder's arrest and outlined ways to support him.
Sputnik: How legal is Julian Assange's arrest?
Randy Credico: How illegal?
Sputnik: How legal is this move?
Randy Credico: It's not legal, not legal because the president of Ecuador [Lenin Moreno] is bowing to US pressure has violated Ecuadorian law and international law. He [Assange] is a political refugee and under their Constitution once they have given asylum they cannot rescind that asylum and so what he [Moreno] has done is he has put Ecuador in the category of a rogue nation, a nation of men and not of laws. And it's a sad day for the people of Ecuador because a lot of people are going to look at that country as a country that does not protect its citizens, which Julian Assange was a citizen, they granted him citizenship. So, it's a dangerous country to go. I would never visit Ecuador now because there's no guarantee that the Constitution and the statutory laws in that country will be followed by its leaders.
Randy Credico: They've bowed to US pressure. I think Mr Moreno was caught in a huge scandal and he's embarrassed and it's the biggest scandal to rock that country in a long time and so he's looking for a scapegoat and Assange is a scapegoat. Also there's pressure from various international monetary fund guarantees, loans from the US. He basically was bribed, this is a very corrupt man, not a man of principle, Lenin Moreno, and so the pressure… I mean he was bribed, that's all. He was bribed to do something. He did the bidding. And the Brits, they are complicit in all of this. They got him on a trumped up charge of bail jumping. Bail jumping, there are tens of thousands of people in the United Kingdom who have been on the loose for not satisfying their bail obligations.
