I am so happy to hear that. That sure takes the wind out of that sail.

They don't get to decide this at all. So far, the Swedish authorities haven't made a new extradition request. If they do, then it's up to the courts, not parliament, on which request has priority, or which is granted. The goverment (not parliament) might be able to influence that by not pushing one. And there 650 MPs, and even more peers. 70 signatures means squat. Slow news day.

it takes the "death of journalism" away from him and puts it back onto he's a sex creep.

Where is all his outrage and investigative skill when it comes to trump ? Ed Snowden was even lamenting him... both are russain shills.

The accusations against him are serious.

There is no way the Republicans are going to allow Assange to testify about how the Russians gave him the Democratic emails. His prospects for remaining alive depend on his silence.

...he's going to want to face a Swedish Court and prison vs. a US one, and before his sentence ends, escape to a Russian Embassy or border...if they take him. Unless he thinks Dump will give him a pardon, but why would he do that? It makes Dump look guilty.

45 can look. On his hopefully last day of office 1/21, I suspect he’ll pardon every white repub male in the country - plus one female, Ivanka.

As I understand it. In the US he's only looking at criminal hacking charges, that is subject to change of course) maximum 5 years. He's looking at 4-10 in Sweden. With a boatload of stigma that goes without.

....but he'll probably be looking at more charges once he's on US soil. And US prisons are dehumanizing where as in Nordic countries its about rehabilitation.

In Sweden, you get metal forks and spoons to eat your meals, in the USA, you get Bologna Sandwiches and Bean Burritos.

My assumption is he goes to a country club prison with minimum recommened sentence. Do you doubt Chump made recommendations about the Manafort sentence.

In Sweden than here. I have seen stories of how nice they treat prisoners.
