Good, don’t give Trump a chance to pardon him. Wait till he can go to jail with Trump.
I guess UK didn’t want to extradite him to American now because our current AG doesn’t appear interested in justice.
I don’t blame them. Will Sweden will be able to hold him until we can put ALL the charges into the extradition request? SMDH.
He’d better develop a taste for jail food. He’s gonna be eating a lot of it.
If he was smart, he’d let Sweden extradite him. They might give him some of those famous meatballs occasionally.
Assange will soon be releasing on WikiLeaks all of the emails in Sweden about this case. Especially the ones with contemporaneous accounts by his accusers. Naturally, the release will include Assange’s full genome, just in case there’s any DNA evidence from the crimes. He is also including all his combs and toothbrushes from the Ecuadorean embassy in London just in case, which he has in a display case.
The important question remains: Where is his cat?
What?! The Dauntless Defender of World Democracy may be extradited to Sweden to face sexual assault charges?!
Jumpin’ Jiminy!
Good. He might actually want to come to the US to confess against the Trumpers in exchange for a deal.
I think Sweden had “first dibs”…
Adopted out, apparently. Some time ago, after he wouldn’t clean up after it.
Oh, wait, the stench was Assange himself. My bad.
This would be a good result. Extradition to the US and the charges here would set a precedent that Trump could use against real journalists.
True. They had dropped the case because they couldn’t get to him
"If he, at a later date, makes himself available, I will be able to decide to resume the investigation immediately.”
That’s what’s so damn funny about all of this. He could’ve just NOT been a slob, properly cleaned up after and cared for his cat, and he’d still be living it up in the Ecuadoran embassy. He had one job…
Yes, but he’s a typical privileged white dude w/overactive self-esteem. The other people are supposed to do that kind of thing for him.
I hope he rots.
In the words of the immoral Nelson, Ha ha!
Plus it would be good to have Sweden hang onto him until after Trump is out of office. Then they could kindly extradite him here.
Sociopaths can only play nice for so long.
Snicker
So holing up in the Ecuadorian embassy served to.functionally toll any statute of.limitations.
Sloppy description of legal procedure since charges were already filed but funny nonetheless how Assange gave himself additional years in a makeshift semi-prison.
I don’t have much sympathy for a guy accused of rape. People forget that is why he hid out in the embassy for all those years.
It’s a flerken.
