Politico: Prepare for Mueller's long shadow.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/11/mueller-report-assange-wikileaks-1270625

"But Assange's delivery into the hands of the British authorities and in turn over to the U.S. “will reopen the Russian collusion affair,” said Philip Lacovara, a former counsel for the Watergate prosecution team.

Noting the pressure U.S. officials exerted on their British counterparts, Lacovara said, “DOJ evidently retains considerable interest in the information that he can supply. He knows where the hacked DNC emails came from, and he knows when and how the Trump campaign learned about this treasure trove of political dirt. He also knows whether the Trump campaign coordinated the timing of the leaks for political advantage. He is also likely to know whether anyone from the Trump campaign actively solicited additional hacking.”

any of this information. The Wikileaks message has to be massaged, to blame Obama and Hillary. (they're working on it)

Right now, Dumpo says he "doan know nutting about an Asange. It that a sausage?" he asks.

But if indeed Asausnge is shipped over here, in a year, at the height of the Prez. campaign, that won't be too good for him.

Asange has to be buried somehow, forgotten if he can't be used anymore.

If further investigation is necessary, it won't be by a special counsel, I'd guess.

It'd be for the prosecution of Assange, seems like.

Assange will have his lawyers battling in the courts for years and by then Russiagate will be almost done and he won't be as useful as we are hoping. This was from a guest on MSNBC.
