Did you expect Hitlery to be carted off to jail IMMEDIATELY?? Moreover, how was Assange supposed to know that the rule of law is DEAD and the USA already a Banana Republic? He's assumed SOME form of law enforcement still exists for traitors and criminal liars.
And besides -- if Trump wins, "jail" may well be a matter of the future.
I have to agree, given everything that’s come out it looks like St. Julian’s prediction is coming to pass.
