- supercanuck 10y agoWhat a weasel.
- malnourish 10y agoTo be fair, May is months away. Not today or even a week from today.
- cableshaft 10y agoEh, would you want to be extradited and delivered into the great unknown of a Trump administration? If Obama wasn't already packing his bags and trying to figure out how he's going to Tetris 8 years of accumulated crap into a U-Haul I think he might have at least considered it.
- neaden 10y agoIsn't it Sweden who actually wants to talk to him though? Like, if he showed up in the US there is a good chance he would be arrested but I don't think the government has actually filed any charges against him have they?
- achileas 10y agoTo my knowledge, the US doesn't even have an extradition request for Assange.
- banku_brougham 10y agoHe may possibly receive less scrutiny by the FBI or Justice Dept in the new administration.

- tinus_hn 10y agoThe embassy where he is now is a dead end. I can imagine he has enough of being locked up there. Still, if his goal is to free Manning it's hardly surprising he waits until she's actually freed.
