Yes, given who Assange is, I would say it is more likely to be the former.

What is he exactly? Apart from a two faced coward...

Have you read up on the backgrounds of the women he sexually assaulted (for want of a better expression)?

Yes. It's all political. Had it been a gang rape under knife point, the case would have been shut down years ago.

Julian Assange waits for Ecuador's election to decide his future

guardian said:

Guillermo Lasso, the businessman and leading opposition candidate, has vowed that if he wins, the WikiLeaks founder’s time in the embassy will be up. Lasso has said he would “cordially ask Señor Assange to leave within 30 days of assuming a mandate”, because his presence in the Knightsbridge embassy was a burden on Ecuadorian taxpayers.

Trump probably has some room for him......West wing somewhere.

The election result in Ecuador went his way however this doesn't look too good for Assange. The noose is tightening.

The US attorney general, Jeff Sessions, says arresting Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is a "priority".

Silly knobhead, serves him right. Obama didn't give a toss about Assange, and could not have been less arsed to go after him. The Donald is not the same as Obama.

Hey, Jules, betcha wished you'd dobbed yerself in a few years back, eh? You'd be out on licence by now, if you'd even been put on trial, and Uncle Sam wouldn't be able to do Dick about it.

I imagine he'll take some legal advice and be balls deep in Pammy by tonight.

He's not in the UK

Looks like there could also be an extradition request by the American authorities that we wouldn't know about in advance.


Also there's this......

Well Sweden does have bigger issues to deal with, as do their American masters.

Hope no more money is going to be pissed away by the Met on this nonsense.

[Transmitter Man]

Have any of the many PH Assange bashers any comments regarding changing their views of the guy now that the last Swedish charge has been dropped.

I'm all ears.

I don't believe that very much (extra) money has been spent on this. There are police outside the Ecuadorean Embassy, but they would be paid anyway.

Back in 2015, it was 12million.

If I understand correctly, isn't he still wanted for bail issues in the UK? Enjoy the embasy a little longer! He really is a muppet! 5years in a small embassy he'd have been done and dusted by now. The americans didn't want him at the time! What an odious little man he is!

[loafer123]

I don't think it mattered whether Obama wanted him...it was the US Security Services who wanted him.

He will have to leave the embassy and face some kind of punishment for breaching bail, but I would think that is pretty minor.

As an aside, I think he is a pretty revolting bloke but he has reduced the contempt with which governments around the world treat their citizens.
