That is just an opinion.
Also in it, it doesn’t include any of the offenses Assange is supposedly guilty of.

It is more than an opinion. We have actual cases and existing agreements.

"Although the crimes over which the United States has extraterritorial jurisdiction may be many, so are the obstacles to their enforcement. For both practical and diplomatic reasons, criminal investigations within another country require the acquiescence, consent, or preferably the assistance, of the authorities of the host country. The United States has mutual legal assistance treaties with several countries designed t o formalize such cooperative law enforcement assistance. It has agreements for the same purpose in many other instances.

Cooperation, however, may introduce new obstacles. Searches and interrogations carried out jointly with foreign officials, certainly if they involve Americans, must be conducted within the confines of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. And the Sixth Amendment imposes limits upon the use in American criminal trials of depositions taken abroad.

Also in it, it doesn’t include any of the offenses Assange is supposedly guilty of.

Of course we have obtained the extradition of foreign nationals to the US for trial concerning national security and terrorism.

Why are you so intent on defending Assange who has placed people's lives at risk, including the publishing of names of Afghans cooperating with the US government, and damaged our national security?
