Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) proposes the potential offering of immunity
from prosecution for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in exchange for
the latter’s testimony at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing.
In a story reported first by Gateway Pundit, the
constitutionally-minded senator suggested the compromise as a way of
getting valuable information Assange might have without causing him
greater harm.
“I think that he should be given immunity from prosecution in
exchange for coming to the United States and testifying,” Senator Paul
told the Gateway Pundit. “I think he’s been someone who has released a
lot of information, and you can debate whether or not any of that has
caused harm, but I think really he has information that is probably
pertinent to the hacking of the Democratic emails that would be nice to
hear.”
Last August, Senator Richard Burr (R-N.C.), chairman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, sent a letter to Assange in care of the
Ecuadorian embassy in London where he was living in asylum. The letter
requests that Assange consent to a “closed interview with bipartisan
Committee staff at a mutually agreeable time and location.”
I said this was coming... Assange will be a STAR witness.
