The Ecuadorian Embassy is easily staked out by the Press. Unless they saw someone walking out with a very large suitcase, he's still inside.

Not that the DOJ would take the Metro from National Airport to the federal courthouse in Alexandria.

Assange watch continues. The DOJ jet is back in the US. No word on the jet's contents. Note- Wikileaks hasn't tweeted in 15 hrs - that may mean nothing - but they did do 53 tweets, ~8 per day over the last week.

not until November. If this is about Assange, it’s possible he is also connected to other players, or this is a separate case needing its own grand jury. Mueller would know, and probably not many other people.
