>Sweden is being a cuccboi again
Is this supposed to be news? Anyway, Assange is comfy as fuck in that embassy, he would be crazy to ever leave.

The US attorney general, Jeff Sessions, said on Thursday (21 April) that the arrest of the >WikiLeaks founder was now a “priority”. US federal prosecutors were understood to be considering bringing charges against Assange over a number of the website’s publications since 2010, US media reported, which could potentially lead to a second extradition request for Assange, from Washington.

A month later Sweden drops the charges against Assange.

Based, can't wait for Trump to lock him up.

>implying Drumpf gives a fuck

in b4 HE'S DEAD

>trump admin prioritizes Assange over hillary
toppest of keks what a fucking mess

The charge agains't Assange in Sweden were already bogus
Sweden has an extradition agreement with the USA. They would have given him.
Anyway he is in for two (?) count of rape, if he can prove he has brown bloods he won't have more than 3 month of prison time. After that he is free to be shipped to the USA

>they didn't realize that Sweden was trying to save Assange from the americans all along
Apologize.

There is a risk Sweden could have decided not to send Assange to USA

Is Assange’s conspiracy theory correct? And would Sweden extradite him?

Highly doubtful. Sweden’s extradition agreement with the United States, signed in 1961 and updated in 1983, prohibits extradition on the basis of "a political offense" or "an offense connected with a political offense." The agreement does not specify what constitutes a "political offense." Whether the Swedish supreme court would rule to extradite Assange largely depends on what charges the secret U.S. grand jury brings against him.

If Assange is accused of espionage, Sweden most certainly would not comply, as its courts have consistently determined that espionage constitutes a political offense. For example, in 1992 Sweden refused to extradite Edward Lee Howard, the only CIA agent to defect to the Soviet Union, to the United States. Charged with espionage, Swedish courts ruled that those accusations amounted to the kind of "political offense" specified in the extradition agreement.

But that legal gray area also threatens Assange’s legal prospects. The U.S. Justice Department is surely aware of these restrictions and precedents and may instead slap Assange with a more creative set of charges — cyber crime or theft, perhaps.

But now US government can pressure Ecuador to negate asylum to Assange, and if that happens Assange would be arrested by U.K. police and then it would be possible for the U.K. to extradite Assange to U.S.

Those are some really cute definitions you have there, would be a shame if someone was to ignore them and do extradition flights from Sweden in spite of "laws".

>second extradition request for Assange
he'll be in Venezuela before that happen

>Sweden allows US to extradite Assange thinking he'll get locked away
>Assange gets to the US and Trump immediately pardons him and makes him Press Secretary

The US doesn't want Assange, they want his sources.

He's dead in the basement of comet pizza isn't he

>>Assange gets to the US and Trump immediately pardons him and makes him Press Secretary

>yfw assange get's two scoops

CIAniggers will kill him

They will never forgive him for Hillary's loss. It was Her turn

how amazing would it be if he uses this opportunity to announce Seth Rich was the insider behind the DNC leaks and that he believes he was assassinated by the deep state for it?

>In London, the Metropolitan Police have said there is still a warrant for Assange’s arrest on the less serious offence of failing to surrender to the court in June 2012. It would be “obliged to execute the warrant” if Assange leaves the Ecuadorian embassy, it said.

not so fast

You don't get out much do you?

>This.
Sweden barely convict real criminals, they go free for any minor technicality or doubt. Then they get """care""", not punishment.
The US throw people down a dark hole for years for nothing.

#BREAKING: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to ask #France for political asylum: report

What is Israels view on Assange

Indifferent or hostile

3D chess by Trump.
By pretending to want assange he got Sweden to drop their charges. Now it's just a matter of getting him out of the country

Probably a disinfo rogue agent.

And his files. Besides if they arrest him the dead man trigger happens I guess?

This is of course assuming he is even still alive and at the embassy. I guess that's he problem with a dead man's trigger... you give the enemies of your enemies a great motivation to "trigger" the release of your files. By taking on target off your back you place another one on your back. The tactic only works if you have info on every imaginable faction.

What he said, to a degree.
Look up black cube. 2010 seems to be the magical year here.
