With so many Brits involved in the “trumped up” Russian-collusion witch hunt, I am not sure this is a good deal. Is it just meant to be sure Assange is kept silenced on any related facts that he knows?

He may be the only one who can explain how the Podesta emails got to WikiLeaks. Seth Rich was silenced. The British may intend to have him silenced for good in prison.

That will make it easier for Mueller to establish the MSM version (Russian hackers got the emails to WikiLeaks) as the official version. Maybe Michael Cohen is prepared to claim that Trump was somehow involved.
