Meh. Mueller's got what he needs. There's literally nothing he can provide against Trump at this point. I mean, if of course, I'm happy to add him to the arsenal. But your post seemed to imply that wasn't an option.

Assange is a bit player. What he did matters. But we don't need him to confirm what he did. There are much MUCH bigger fish to fry. And that slimy asshole can go ahead and die and it's just fine by me. It won't change the investigation.

Remember when lefties thought assange was a hero? I remember.

Sound like my kind of lefties. He should be given a full pardon and a medal.

Sure. As long as he's dead, I'm all for it.

I could die happy knowing I royally fucked over the powerful and corrupt shitheels that ruined my life because I exposed how they do things.

At this point, isn't he just another Putin operative?

And I'm sure Assange and all the "righties" -- to borrow your charming phrase -- are comfortable thinking that's what happened. Reality and common sense would beg to differ. But whatever. It's all just so infinitely meaningless.

Yes.

Maybe. Seems to me they just have mutual interests in this case. And considering what the Western powers put him through, where else could he turn?

Question : if he's an Ecuadorian citizen now, why can't he just go to Ecuador? All this embassy stuff is fascinating.

Have you ever been to Ecuador? It is kind of a shithole

I think if you were trapped in an embassy room for years with the most powerful people on earth trying to destroy you, you would think this is anything but meaningless.

There's been several reports that Russia was planning to whisk him away to Moscow last year around this time.

If I'd done what Assange has done I think I'd know I deserved it and I'd be thrilled for every goddamn day I got to live in that embassy room.

Also, nihilism isn't really circumstantial. I'm pretty sure I'd think it was all meaningless.

it is though
