Bongino seems to think the timing of the arrest (after the Mueller report) vs. when the warrant was made (early to mid March) is significant. He thinks a burned-over FBI fisa warrant signatory will use it to leverage information to go after Comey, Mueller and their cohorts. If so, it may not be so much to get Asange for anything, but to blow up the whole misuse of intel tools by the Obama administration to help Hillary. I'm waiting on pins and needles for the drama to unfold. Possibly, some media personalities may get bit for knowingly abetting the whole operation, too.

I agree. Assange is also being extradited for exposing the Deep State Elephants and Donkeys

I know why many do, e mail's are very telling if you know what your looking for.

If JA was part of the hacking either directly or as a conspirator to obtain classified documents then the USA will have to prove it's case and if he if found guilty, he should be imprisoned. If he simply posted stolen classified information then there is no case and he will be acquitted. Do not rely on the liberal main stream news media for truth or facts.

"Julian Assange is being extradited for doing what the government and the journalists wouldn't do."

Like conspiring with Manning to hack a government system? That is the exact indictment that the US government has issued. Read it...

Most journalists are adverse to criminal activity that can put them in prison.

You and I both on that last part.
