So I keep seeing internet sources saying that Assange has damaging information about Hillary he plans to release any day now.
1) So does Ecuador support Trump? If so, why?
2) If Ecuador doesn't support Trump, why don't they tell Assange in a friendly way that he should leave the embassy and deal with the friendly legal authorities waiting outside?
3) Why doesn't he just say whatever he has to say instead of dragging this out?

(6,342 posts)He released the DNC email dump right before the convention, which took down Debiie. He had those emails back in June. He waited right before the convention to release them.
He's not dumb. He's going to do it when he feels it would create the maximum effect.

(6,324 posts)So Ecuadors actions with regard to him and decisions about them probably don't consider our political campaigns with much weight- or at all.
It's pretty arrogant to think that another nation is going to set its policies primarily based on how they want our internal elections to play out, or who they support in them.

I would imagine he's dragging this out in order to cause the greatest impact.

2. I don't think Ecuador cares one way or the other.
3. Look at all the interviews he has given in the past two weeks. He's said enough about it to fill a book.
