Yeah, I saw the initial thing about him being accused of 'grooming an 8-year old' this morning (it was on reddit), but sources were weak enough that I decided not to post it. This is the first I've seen it portrayed as a plot to frame him, rather than a weakly substantiated accusation, though.EDIT:
Have you guys seen what wikileaks posted about a plot to frame assange?
if not, its here https://wikileaks.org/Background-an...-a-:eek::eek::eek::eek:phile-and.html?update3
I've read through the entire final report which concludes that T&C is most likely not authentic.

The weak accusation was looking at the initial articles, not the report. That said, having read it, wikileaks overstates what the report actually claims. The report identifies toddandclare as a fabricated business entity. It does not determine whether it was part of a plot to frame assange, though that is certainly a conclusion that can be drawn if one is willing to jump to a few reasonable assumptions.if you read through the analysis of the company that accused him, you will understand why it's being seen as a plot to frame.
I'm glad you were intelligent enough to dismiss it as a weak accusation to begin with, but many people take things at face value
I already linked to it. The Barett Brown case.
Yes, "could be". The articles I linked to demonstrate that legal opinions differ.
The cases listed in most of the reports tend to be focused on the media though:
In January 2015, Brown was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison for the crimes of accessory after the fact, obstruction of justice, and threatening a federal officer stemming from the FBI's investigation into the 2012 Stratfor email leak. Prosecutors had previously brought other charges associated with his sharing of an HTTP link to the leaked Stratfor data, but those charges were dropped in 2014
It's some guy emailing podesta about how republicans are standing in the way of climate change action. It sounds spooky if you only read the highlighted part.I don't get this.
