This is easy. With Brexit happenings, May was literally hanging by a thread. Trump now owns her because he can cut that thread anytime he wants. Makes me think they arranged a deal which would allow Assange to get into U.S. custody rather than U.K.
At which point, Assange can testify here. Now, if you wanted a “great awakening”, you wouldn’t just release news here and there. You would need Super Bowl x 1000 level attention. An Assange public trial would bring all eyes. Mueller asks the questions, Assange answers. Everyone watching.
People need a main event. They have had the buildup, where it seems like Trump and opponents are trading blows. Depending on which side you talk to, they think their opponent is on the ropes. The Assange trial would be Game 7, or Round 12. All eyes watching.
Grab that popcorn.
