The governments of the UK and Ecuador are nearing a final agreement to oust slimy renegade Wikileaks founder and Russian-affiliated hacker Julian Assange from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he has camped since 2012. When evicted from the embassy, British police will detain him on a charge of jumping bail on an extradition warrant from Sweden, where it's alleged that he raped two women. Since Sweden has dropped the rape charge, the British will turn him over to U.S. authorities who have requested extradition for his role in publishing classified information supplied by Chelsea Manning. Following the election of centrist President Lenin Moreno in May, Ecuador has increasingly sought an end to Assange's lengthy stay at their London embassy.
U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials view Assange as a Russian operative who worked with Russian military intelligence, GRU, during the 2016 Presidential campaign to publish stolen documents that would aid corrupt Russian stooge Donald "Rump" Trump in his election bid. Infamously throughout the 2016 campaign, Rump repeatedly praised Wikileaks ("I love Wikileaks") for publishing the stolen e-mails from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign aide John Podesta.
