That was such a crappy production, the few other wikileaks things I have watched did look much more polished, I still think he probably cut a deal so he can get out of the Embassy.
How many years has been trapped there... that will wear on anyone, If he made a deal for freedom I cant be to upset everyone has a breaking point.
He can walk out now, be detained by UK police and face extradition to Sweden to answer allegations about him.

Since most people do not want to be arrested how is that not being trapped in the embassy?
Not quite sure what you were trying to say...

Granted Daask, Assange may have had words put in his mouth. That being said it's no secret that Assange has not been a fan of Hillary and his initial information dumps were aimed at toppling her campaign. This was his clear intention. After those initial releases on the DNC and Bernie there was plenty of talk floating around about further information that would actually topple her campaign once and for all. Wikileaks by the least were well aware of an expectation they held further damning information. Did Wikileaks bother to 'correct the record'? Were they forthcoming about if they had anything further on Hillary? Did they have a shred of decency to their followers? From the looks of it they've been carefully riding on the hype and belief by thousands that they were in a good position to bring Hillary down. They had all the attention. They took full advantage of this knowing full well that these expectations were based on false reporting.
It's evident Assange has taken maximum advantage of people out there. While I may not politically agree with many who were pushing the hype, I certainly do not agree on these people being taken advantage of like this. I mean the man promoted his book during this scheduled appearance... he was taking full advantage, he knew full well what he was doing.
He just threw any credibility he had left out the window. This was a terrible move on his part.

I dont think he is going to be snuffed... but loss of freedom is a pretty big motivator to not walk blindly into the jail cell.
If you were safe from prosecution (wrongly or rightly) would you walk into a jail cell or stay where you were safe?
