    Unfortunate about the suicide. We do though need a lot more of this declining hush money to expose bad behaviours. Makes no difference to me who these people who do bad things support politi

It will be high-profile and messy but I don't expect Russia will allow Assange to escape the UK alive. 

I suspect the American's will keep good care of him until he's on US soil.  I have little doubt DOJ law enforcement want this guy bad...the connections to Russia and to Trump could be shocking.  But you have to think Trump will intervene (or order his AG to intervene).

Extradition is going to take a while, no? Unless they've already cleared that hurdle with the earlier charges? 

The official charges are not that strong.

Maybe not so quick if you look at the similar case with the Huawei exec in Canada.  She was arrested December on behalf of the US and she's still in Canadian custody (and will be for the foreseable future).

    Odd that this is going down just as the Spygate "conspiracy theory" is beginning to boil...

    (fun fact, Wikipedia admins are still reverting every edit to the Spygate "conspiracy theory" page that updates it)

    When the AG gives it credibility with zero evidence....disgraceful.   Its funny because of all the evidence of Russian interference in the election and their contacts with Trump's people and Trump calls it a witch hunt.  Now you have the AG say he has zero evidence but wants to look at how the investigation began...talk about witch hunt.
