The Assange case is collapsing but it remains a travesty of justice
The point isn't really to have a believable case.<p>The point is to use legal system to ruin one person to scare any people from running similar actions against US government.<p>US is loosing more and more of its standing when it comes to "spreading" democracy. You can't go and try to preach democratic values to, say, Belarus, and then do exactly the same in your own country.<p>Principles aren't really principles if they are being tossed aside when they become uncomfortable.
