Just a short while ago, Wikileaks tweeted that Julian Assange would gladly take Chelsea’s place in prison — undergoing extradition to the US — should Obama grant her/him clemency.
It appears the Ecuadorian embassy in London will soon have one less resident — as the groundwork for a defense appears to be taking shape, at least via statements from Wikileaks and his lawyer.

For the globalist elite, this is a great trade off — and a fucking stupid one for Wikileaks. Mr. Manning had known the risks associated with leaking intel. With Assange locked up in the American prison system, one could expect a sizeable drop in Podesta styled leaks. Alas, all good things must come to an end and I’m sure Assange is sick and tired of living in that god foresaken embassy. Perhaps a little finality and closure is what’s more important to him now, in favor of the movement.
Assange lawyer @themtchair on Assange-Manning extradition 'deal': "Everything that he has said he's standing by."

Here is his official statement.
I welcome President Obama’s decision to commute the sentence of Ms. Chelsea Manning from 35 years to time served, but Ms. Manning should never have been convicted in the first place. Ms. Manning is a hero, whose bravery should have been applauded not condemned. Journalists, publishers, and their sources serve the public interest and promote democracy by distributing authentic information on key matters such as human rights abuses, and illegal acts by government officials. They should not be prosecuted. In order for democracy and the rule of law to thrive, the Government should immediately end its war on whistleblowers and publishers, such as Wikileaks and myself.
Mr. Assange’s lawyers also made a statementMr. Assange welcomes President Obama’s decision to commute Chelsea Manning’s sentence. Whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning serve the public interest. She should never have been prosecuted and sentenced to decades in prison. She should be released immediately. Likewise, publishers of truthful information serve the public interest, promote democracy, and should not be prosecuted. The war on whistleblowers should end now and should not be continued in the new Administration. For many months, I have asked the DOJ to clarify Mr. Assange’s status. I hope it will soon. The Department of Justice should not pursue any charges against Mr. Assange based on his publication of truthful information and should close its criminal investigation of him immediately.”
According to Assange’s attorney, the US has not made an official extradition request as of now.

Well. One can hear libtards heads exploding. Fucking war monger freaks. Once upon a time ugly old women and fags ran the world. It was a dangerous time then Lord Man God showed up. Under three days to go.
He’ll do what, 2-3yrs inside and then get a likely pardon from Trump and have his life back. Brilliant.
Color me skeptical. There’s more to it …. perhaps pressure was put on the Ecuadorian embassy in London, or Ecuador, adn they were going to give him up regardless. This act of unselfishness, touching as it is, is odd. I dont know. Something is not right…
I would hope he’s doing this because he’s got a trove of dirt on the CIA, Syria war, & Yemen war.
Maybe much worse leaks begin if he’s not given a fair trial.
2017 dumps should still be activated, what was promoed to be of magnitude at least
