"possibly even a courier for samples"
Yes, he was a courier, it's in the emails
"If JA's account that the emails did not come from a state sponsor (Russia) is true, and he knows that Seth provided those emails, and offered a reward that would lead to the identification of his murderers, wouldn't JA want to be extradited to the USA to provide testimony to that fact? "
No. JA rightly terrified since he knows what the FBI has done to others, unfairly. And knows DS wants to kill him.
consider this ; the case of Aaron Swarttz;
He was murdered in plain view, hung up in a front window with a belt too short for the actual job, Just became engaged to marry his girlfriend; had been harassed / framed for minor , inexistant crimes by the FBI; Threatened with 50 years in jail; just for downloading library books that any student could easily obtain.
Is there moar to this story?
Yes.
Assange has every right to be terrified of the USA
He does not know things have changed.
And face it, most people do not know.
If you study the case of A. Swartz you will find he was not depressed; he always had a smile on his face, he was working to reforem the USA electoral system - that was all he cared about.
So think: The Media was able to portray him as a criminal and a suicide!
Tragedy.
Until moar clean up is done, Assange will not want to come back here. And who can blame him?
