(25,111 posts)Although I believe Assange is no dummy. If I read correctly, Assange's data was or will be obtained by the DOJ - Barr/shithole's administration.
But, Assange probably has a template and copies of his data for his collateral.
Same with Mueller's group.
Shithole is still shitting the woods. Karma is a bitch.

(16,423 posts)I have read that the charges have not been thrown out: The case was suspended because the investigators were unable to get their hands on Assange.
The last statute of limitations on the rape-charges runs out in 2020, ample time to re-activate the case.
Poor, poor Assange aka the Garden Gnome

Plus they lost one of their most popular anti US propaganda tools. Of course they still have Trump.
