Only thing that makes sense. Looks to me like the rumors of him being ejected from The Ecudorian Embassy triggered the EU, via Sweden to reopening the rape charges, to try to keep him in Europe.
That would mean, IMO, that JA in the US is equivalent to triggering the dead man switch. UN and EU yapping about the dangers of JA in the US, considering the source, probably means although they're virtue signaling concern for JA's well being, they're actually showing concern for their own well-being.
May be the EU is thinking they can use the MSM to survive a dead man switch release, so better odds than having JA open up in a US court.
