To be fair, May is months away. Not today or even a week from today.

Eh, would you want to be extradited and delivered into the great unknown of a Trump administration? If Obama wasn't already packing his bags and trying to figure out how he's going to Tetris 8 years of accumulated crap into a U-Haul I think he might have at least considered it.

Isn't it Sweden who actually wants to talk to him though? Like, if he showed up in the US there is a good chance he would be arrested but I don't think the government has actually filed any charges against him have they?

To my knowledge, the US doesn't even have an extradition request for Assange.

The embassy where he is now is a dead end. I can imagine he has enough of being locked up there.

Still, if his goal is to free Manning it's hardly surprising he waits until she's actually freed.

He may possibly receive less scrutiny by the FBI or Justice Dept in the new administration.

"I think it's disgraceful, there should be a death penalty or something"

-Trump on Wikileaks in 2010 (but recent events could have changed his mind)
