>I never made any claims about how US law works. Please do not misattribute such claims to me, it's not only dishonest but also quite rude.

>The case against Assange appears to be very weak

This is probably the easiest, most straightforward example.

You haven't shown that you know how any law works.

That seems quite consistent with the fact that I have mostly avoided commenting on how laws work.

In that case, consider rethinking your use of the word "supposed". Most native speakers from my part of the US will interpret that use to mean something similar to "ostensible".

I.e., if you want to avoid confusion, don't ever say "supposedly X" if you actually do believe "X" is a fact.

Oxford has this to say on supposedly: "used to show that you do not believe that something you have been told is true". Hope that helps
