Nationals MP George Christensen has joined the growing chorus of
activists calling for President Trump to pardon WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange before he leaves the White House.
Assange is currently being held in London's Belmarsh prison, awaiting a
decision on his extradition case to the US.
On Saturday, in an interview with Sky News Australia, Christensen told
Sky News host Brent O'Halloran that Assange "has been a target of the
Democrats, adding that "Hillary Clinton hates his guts, obviously, for exposing
who the real Hillary was, and you've had a war on Assange by the Democrats and
the deep state."

He told O'Halloran that president-elect ["elect"? Zerohedge, seriously?
not even scare quotes?] Joe Biden has called Assange a criminal and a "hi-tech
terrorist."
Christensen argues that a pardon for the WikiLeaks founder "is one way
which he can stand up for free speech." He said it would irritate the
Democratic establishment and would "poke the deep state in the eye."
...
and let me add: it's the right and moral thing to do...
