Ridiculous. The man should be getting a medal.
If there is the merest hint that Assange could be subject to the death penalty, he will not be extradited.
Patiently waiting for Assange fuck boys and their alt-right accounts to come and defend their neckbeard hero...
Gave him way too much leeway, wtf at accessing files, having a phone etc.
Still an absolutely bizarre asylum.
I doubt it, he'll be in a US jail soon enough and I'm sure Trump will claim credit
He can still get one from FSB. I'm not sure how they deal with rapists though.
Yeah, whatever use they could have gotten out of this guy as an ally is over. They're just going to throw him under the bus now.
In my head canon it was the cat that invited the police in. "Hello, this is me, the Ecuadorian ambassador. Come and take Julian Assange, and bring plenty of kibble. And catnip. And a cardboard box to sit in."
He runs WikiLeaks, which published a bunch of leaked/illegally obtained government documents (including the hacked DNC emails) and is suspected to be working with Russian intelligence.
He's also wanted for rape in Sweden.
What? No way in hell. I'm all for leaking crappy shit that governments do but from my understanding he did so recklessly (he should have given the info to MSM to vet through, to protect innocent people while still getting the relevant info out) and he & his wikileaks has since worked as a lapdog/mouthpiece of far right factions of the world. No fucking way does he deserve a medal.
Was it really so hard for him to abide by some basic daily living rules...
'International conventions' aside, if he had ingratiated himself to his hosts in a better way in how he was conducting his living in the embassy, it sounds like they may have looked on him a lot more favourably.
Maybe his mental health took a dip and that's why he acted the way he apparently did on that front? I mean, I suppose we shouldn't speculate on that front, but it's hard to fathom why he couldn't be a better guest if he was so worried about being kicked out.

Probably started seeing Uncle Sam in every shadow.
"You! You fucking janitor! You think I don't know who you really work for?!"
Because they passed statute of limitation, not because they were not real. And I think not all charges are in this status, I remember at least one could still be reopened until 2020.
The statute of limitations on some charges lapsed because he hid out in London and refused to come to Sweden to clear his name (funny that). There are still some charges that don't lapse until next year. But I imagine we will be pretty far down on the list of countries that would like for him to pay a visit so we can give him a stern talking to.
Having a difficult time deciding which is the greater work of art. This picture:

I wouldn't be surprised if he had issues with mental health. Basically being a prisoner in a single location unable to leave for 7 years straight is probably not good for one's mental health, even if you have some luxuries and don't live in a 2m x 2m x 2m cube devoid of any activities.
I'm no expert on international law but I would assume the US will do a deal that guarantees he won't face death penalty (if that was even a legal option to begin with)
Trump hasn't imprisoned Assange, and his administration hasn't even filed an extradition request yet. They haven't even had the time to.
Assange has been taken into custody on a British arrest warrant.
