Hilarious that he was counting in Trump to get him released, but it wound up being under Biden.

You can tell it’s election year for the USA. Probably hoping for a little extra PR from it all for being the Good Guys (tm)

Trump has caused more damage to U.S. intelligence interests than Assange ever did. Trump's unpunished actions make the prosecution of other violators look like pantomime.

Trump was never going to release him.

Assange was just a soundbite for him to dogwhistle.

Absolutely. Did you hear Trump recently saying he’d get Dread Pirate Roberts guy released or something like that? The silk road guy?
