There is a certain hilarity to the Assange case, in order to escape possible prosecution for rape he has spent six years under self imposed house arrest, despite the Swedish penalty for a rape conviction being on average only 2-6 years. At the same time he made up his nonsense about the USA wanting to extradite him in order to deflect his fanboys attention away from the fact that his "she didn't say no so it's okay" defense is technically an admission of guilt.
Fast forward six years and it's gone on so long that Sweden have had to drop their case because the time limits have expired so now there's no need to extradite him there. Which sounds great for him except he's still wanted for jumping bail in the UK and as the Swedish extradition order was the one thing making it impossible for the USA to request extradition, that is now a possibility should they choose to pursue it and they just elected a populist right wing president, which means the story he invented about the USA wanting him could become a self fulfilling prophecy as it's something Trumps been hearing about for six years now.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, the moron has taken a minigun to his lower torso XD
