*** note his imprisonment is for refusing to testify not espionage ***

I am very aware he received a Commutation on his 35 year sentence after serving seven years.

I am also aware that Assange is being prosecuted based on the exact same evidence that the Obama administration had access to when it was investigating him to see if he could be prosecuted for his role in the Manning leaks.

The Obama administration ruled it was impossible to prosecute him based on that evidence because it would endanger press freedoms.
