Could Julian Assange be indicted by Robert Mueller?

Could he stand trial in this country?

What would be necessary for that to happen?

It appears that there was a relationship between Assange and Roger Stone, the long-time friend of Donald Trump. How else would Stone have known that Podesta would soon "be in the barrel"??

If Stone told Trump what was told him by Assange, that would be collusion, in a conspiracy to influence the election of the United States. That would be a very serious charge.

If we look at Trump's comments during this time period, that is exactly what it looks like.

Assange should be a target IMNSHO. He's neck deep in this.

Not sure if we have an extradition arrangement with Ecuador, though.

.... Conspiracy to disrupt and meddle in the national presidential election process by disseminating stolen private/personal information - to the benefit of a specific preferred candidate.

people's computer files and for his work in the election fraud that gave us Trump. I hope we don't see any prominent Democrats coming to the defense of Assange or Wikileaks.
