Turkey’s despot, Erdogan, faced a criminal investigation in 2013/14. He called it a “deep state witch hunt,” fired prosecutors, purged Turkey’s justice department, said it was politically motivated, and eventually shut it down. He got away with it. Democracy died in Turkey.
WikiLeaks helped Erdogan? Why? What is Assange gaining? None of the authoritarians have actually helped him...

Maybe he's just hoping for a high-level political appointment in a fascist state... But yes, at least some crazy.
