WikiLeaks. For 12 years, this rogue party gained reputation for discovering the secrets of governments around the world. They exhausted the hacked DNC e-mails in the 2016 ballot, they disclosed Pope Benedict for clogging the findings of ill-treatment by clergymen, and they revealed that Kim Jong-un had a secret neck-removal surgery. So, for a decade ...( laugh) ... the administration to the nations of the world had sought to closed WikiLeaks down. And today, Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks and Draco Malfoy's biological father, was eventually been arrested. After an approximately seven year standoff, holding international law enforcement at bay, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is under arrest. Police in London took Assange into detention this morning, taking him from the delegation of Ecuador where he's been under protection for years. TV Reporter: Julian Assange , now with a beard, carried out of the Ecuadorian embassy by London's Metropolitan Police. Oh, somebody. Yo, that is-- that is one of "the worlds largest" mortifying rooms you could get arrested because-- because look at this. That's his head. And then those are his paws.( laughter) They carried him out of the delegation like he was an aged sofa. It's just like, "All right, all right, keep watching the areas. Watch the regions. Come on, keep watching the corners." And by the style, what happened to Assange? Right? Look-look at him. Like, in just a few years, "hes been gone" from Bond villain to crowd-surfing Hobbit. But the important part of the legend isn't how he was arrested, it's why he was arrested. TV REPORTER: His arrest this morning in London abruptly followed by public announcements from the U.S. that Assange had been charged with conspiracy. He is accused of working with a former U.S. Army Intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, to spoof into Defense computer systems. They said that Assange had helped Chelsea Manning break and crack the password to become involved in U.S. government computers. That's right. Assange is being accused by the U.S. for was seeking to spoof into a Defense Department computer back in 2010. And in 2010, it was really difficult to hacker the governmental forces plan because the password was "password1. " Yeah. You expected password, but the "1" hurled everyone off. And you may be thinking, "Wait, I don't get it. "If he was spoofed in 2010, why is Assange only being arrested now? " Well, you construe, for the last seven years, Assange has been protected by living in the Ecuadorian embassy, but, apparently, Ecuador has discovered that intruders form horrible houseguests. Why was that asylum filched overnight? There have been reports for some time that Assange was sort of-- had outlived his welcome there in the delegation, for all sorts of reasons, including that he was -skateboarding in the vestibule, -WOMAN: Oh, curious. and plagiarizing Wi-Fi, and that his feline had been making a mess. So, you know, the Ecuadorians were getting sick of having him there. -Okay. -( public acting) Okay. w-we're gonna come back to that business informal cat, but ... but the first thing I need to know is why the blaze was Julian Assange skateboarding in the hallways of an delegation and stealing their Wi-Fi? It originates him reverberate less like a political protester and more like a shitty adolescent, you are familiar? Like, the Ecuadorians were probably pounding on his door, like, "Julian! Why is the Wi-Fi so slow-footed? You better not be leaking papers !" And he's like, "I hate you. You're not even my real country." And as for the feline, as for that feline, the most disturbing thing about the floor is somehow not the fact that Assange allowed it to shit all over the embassy. No. It's that every day, he dressed that poverty-stricken thing up in a confine and collar. And I'm talking an entire wardrobe, right? Yeah.( gathering yelling) Like, if I worked in the Ecuadorian delegation, that would be my clue that Assange was losing it.' Cause it'd be like, "I require some minuscule ties for my "cat-o-nine-tail". He just got his accounting degree ." You'd be like, "Okay. I think it's time for you to go, buddy." And if "youve been" owned cats, you know that cats don't experience that, right? I necessitate, cats don't enjoy anything, but they peculiarly don't experience being dressed up as people. All right? He's not yawning in this photo. He's screaming, "Help me! Assistance! "( laughter) And now, because Ecuador has stopped protecting Assange, he's facing Aunt Becky levels of prison time. Although, a lot of parties am worried that by detaining Assange, the government is creating a precedent to lock up writers who disclose authority confidentials in the future. If Assange is expelled, the relevant procedures will likely be tediou. And there's gonna be a lot of litigation on this issue of free speech, freedom of the press, as well as whether WikiLeaks' website actually prepares as a publisher and whether Assange really is a writer at the heart of it. The Obama administration looked at and tried to bring charges against Julian Assange. They ended up deciding that they could not bring charges, simply because how do you bring charges against Julian Assange when you don't bring charges against The New York Times and other news organizations that publicized those very same reports, documents that were plagiarized and that were published by WikiLeaks. Okay, this-this really is an interesting dilemma. On the one entrust, pretty much everyone detests Assange, partly because he looks like the frightening step-dad in every porno, but, on the other hand, numerous parties aren't so pleased to see you both him going apprehended since they are anxiety it is possible to open the door to journalists coming arrested for leaking government secrets. And you know journalists get apprehended "wouldve been" Trump's wet dream. Well, I symbolize, that and the nightmare where a porn star generates him back the money because he was so good. Just kike, "Wow, Donald, 20 seconds. I should be paying you !"( humour) So, as it stands, Julian Assange is in custody in Britain, and everyone's waiting to see if he'll come expelled to the U.S. But the large-hearted puzzle to me is, it's just-- it feels like somebody-- person on the inside must have done something to sabotage Assange, all individuals who he relied, someone who had a reason to betray him. And I-- I don't know, I guess we'll never know who it was. -( X-Files music playing) -TV REPORTER: WikiLeaks founder -Julian Assange arrested. -TV REPORTER: Julian Assange.( TV Reporters overlapping ): ... the Ecuadorian delegation. -...seven years. -...charged with conspiracy. -...to hack. -...password. -...into Defense computer.
