The real demands are being made by Assange. He desperately wants a US pardon. It is far more likely that he has the documentation that Obama really fears. Either he gets his pardon or IMHO Monday September 26, 2016 will be a very memorable day.
What’s happening Sept 26?
Assange should be pardoned. He’s the classic victim of a honey trap. Ecuador should lay down the law with the U.K. and advise them that if Assange is not allowed to leave Britain for Ecuador, then Ecuador should tell the Brits that it cannot guarantee the safety of its embassy in Quito. Don’t think PM May wants to be another Jimmy Carter.
