well when obama was president assange was hiding in the embassy so I think attributing much significance to fact the obama administration did not issue this indictment is a bit tenuous.
Yeah it seems that's true/I was wrong. I was reading george conway's twitter and I saw this tweet thread by a washingtonpost journalist `If this is the only subject to which the charges relate (& there are none on election interference or other topics), that’s notable. It also raises the question of what changed from when the Obama administration decided it couldn’t make a case, aside from political/DoJ leadership'
There was a deliberate decision not to indict which changed when Trump and his good friends Pompeo and Mattis came to power.
