will factor into that. Obama pardoned Manning, and the thing Assange has been charged with is a Manning-related crime. If Trump holds true to Bizarro Obama form, then he won't pardon just to be opposite of what PBO did.

Trump thumbs his nose at the Democrats, he thumbs his nose at the British, and he shows Russia that he is playing ball.

Not directly, of course, but through a well-vetted toady. If Assange is of further value, he will be dealt with accordingly. If not, then he will be left to rot in a US prison, maybe even Guantanamo.
