Alligation against

[arzgol]

Could you please fix my sentence.

So, by surfing the Internet, I realized sextual assult alligations against Julian Assange were politically motivated and he has been framed, since his whistle-blowing website began publishing tons of secret documents.

Can I say ''somebody is politically framed/ set up''?


Thank you so much for your reply.

You can say that someone has been framed or set-up for political reasons, or by his political opponents.

Did they release allegations or alligators against him?

Well , I have never heard either; however, the way it goes, I think soon this strange phrase will enter English Lexicon. I think at least Strauss Kahn agrees with me.

Sometimes there are no differences between alligators and allegations. Don't you think.
