18. This is an obvious attempt to score points with Trump to encourage him to issue a pardon

Think about it, Trump is constantly babbling "no collusion, no collusion." Trump would love it if Assange publicly told Schiff there was no collusion. He'd never shut up about it.

And Assange is facing getting tossed from the embassy, so he's desperate. But Trump is hyper-transactional. He does quid pro quo like breathing. So throw Trump his talking point, and pray for a pardon -- which Trump has already given outside of the normal pardon process (Arpaio) to send messages to his co-conspirators/minions.
