Disclaimer: I am NOT an Assange fan. Just a fan of truth and justice.
The irony is that if Assange stood trial and he received a sentence, he would probably have been done by now.
Detention without trial is not a good value for a civilized world to believe in. Also don't try to push the BS that he is guilty of some espionage crimes. If that is true, then so is NYT, WaPo etc.
The reason he was initially running was due to some BS sexual abuse claim. Then of course the Clinton Crime Family became involved when WL published the Clinton emails.
Assange has more than a good chance of being able to fight the charges.
