"I don’t recall any joke,” Clinton said Tuesday afternoon. “It would have been a joke, if it had been said, but I don’t recall that.”Point of fact: she didn’t say she didn’t float the idea—but only IF she ever had she would have been joking, adding that she didn’t even recall the joke. Assange, who faces extradition to the U.S. on a charge of computer hacking conspiracy, says he fears being “beaten up” in U.S. prison.
“In an interview for ABC News’ “The Investigation” podcast conducted one day after Assange's long-anticipated arrest by London police and court appearance on a 2012 bail jumping warrant and U.S. extradition request, one of his most frequent visitors described Assange’s fears of being sent to a US prison and subjected to violence inside. "He did say he was worried that, if he was in a normal American prison, being beaten up,” war documentary filmmaker and former Taliban hostage Sean Langan, who has spent more than 50 hours with Assange in the past year, told ABC News. Langan’s last visit to Assange at the embassy was on March 22, he said.”Assange, incarcerated in a British prison, until an early May court appearance, doesn’t seem worried about how he may be treated there even though it is alleged that popular activist Tommy Robinson faced physical violence during his imprisonment there.
