Assange may have just found his ticket out of his mess. OR NOT

  1. Sweden trying to extradite him on that bogus rape charge.

    If they can get him, he can beat that case, and then the Swedes won't extradite him back because poking their finger in our eye is obligatory to keep your lefty european street cred up.

    On not-so-plus side,

    In the unlikely even that the Brits get their fingers out of their collective arses and drop out of the EU immediately without a deal, then the UK extradtion agreement goes out the window too. Also, let's just say that the Brits will need good/friendly trading partners who have cash if they lose their favorable status with the EU. Not a good time to poke the U.S in the eye just for sport.

    Bottom line: Nigel Farage probably controls Assange's future. Think about it.
    Oh, and his Brexit Party is polling ahead of the Tories now.
