I think it could be okay with Assange here in US.
~ Potus in the past has said he loved Wikileaks many times,
~ Hannity who is supporting Assange and believes him, is close to Trump and will talk to him about protecting Assange.
~ Obama pardoned Manning, so it opens the door for Trump to pardon Assange.
~ It will be very hard to prove he "helped Manning hack".
Instead of fighting the extradition, he should just agree to come back.
The UK will treat him like shit there in jail.
