He isn't a US citizen, but he may be extradited to the US. "A judge in London on Monday (Jan 3rd) rejected an American effort to have the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange extradited to the United States, where he faces charges."

Wait, this is some Mandela level bullshit. I could have sworn Assange was extradited to the U.S. last year.

If he pardoned Assange then there's no way he'd be allowed to return home.

Anywhere. They'd find a reason to charge him in the UK.

I asked that five hours ago? It feels like I asked it yesterday. And yeah, you're probably right.
