He was accused of rape, England wanted to deport him, he hid in the embassy.

Oh.
August 2010 - the Swedish Prosecutor's Office first
issues an arrest warrant for Mr Assange. It says there are two separate
allegations - one of rape and one of molestation. Mr Assange says the
claims are "without basis"
December 2010 - Mr Assange is arrested in London and bailed at the second attempt
May 2012 - the UK's Supreme Court rules he should be extradited to Sweden to face questioning over the allegations
June 2012 - Mr Assange enters the Ecuadorean embassy in London
August 2012 - Ecuador grants asylum to Mr Assange, saying there are fears his human rights might be violated if he is extradited
August 2015 - Swedish prosecutors drop their
investigation into two allegations - one of sexual molestation and one
of unlawful coercion because they have run out of time to question him.
But he still faces the more serious accusation of rape.
October 2015 - Metropolitan Police announces that officers will no longer be stationed outside the Ecuadorean embassy
February 2016 - A UN panel rules that Mr Assange has been "arbitrarily detained" by UK and Swedish authorities since 2010
May 2017 - Sweden's director of public prosecutions announces that the rape investigation into Mr Assange is being dropped
July 2018 - The UK and Ecuador confirm they are holding ongoing talks over the fate of Mr Assange
October 2018 - Julian Assange is given a set of house rules at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.
October 2018 - It's revealed he is to launch legal
action against the government of Ecuador - accusing it of violating his
"fundamental rights and freedoms"

Julian Assange thinks Snowden is a Clinton shill so who knows what he would make of this.
I say let the UK extradite him to the US. He helped get this administration elected, let them show their appreciation.
After the shit-talking he's done towards them I'm not surprised. Plus he's been free-loading for what, 8 years?
Assange the hero would have released in full anything tied to either side of political spectrum. Instead he either went the person backed by the people who now hold his leash and/or supposedly saw the left as the bigger, more threatening warmonger of the two.
Snowden was a hero, Assange is a college dropout who got wrapped up in things bigger than he could control.
WikiLeaks was an interesting experiment, and has lead to some vital information being publicized, but since Assange's asylum by Ecuador, it's been significantly down-hill, and anything they publish should be cross-referenced.
Assange is a great litmus test for finding who doesn't understand moral ambiguity. He evens out at a firm 'apathy' for me.
Regardless of your thoughts on Assange, letting Trump make an example out of him is a scary precedent to allow him to set.
Are you out of your fucking mind? Shill or not that doesn't justify his imprisonment/abuse dd at the hands of the US.
