This is more fitting with the SC's investigation: chipping around the edges before moving inward. Everybody was driving up expectations for an Inner Circle indictment, up to and even including Donald Jr. himself, which I felt was exceedingly unlikely.
Extradition by Ecuador is unlikely since I assume our State Department would play a part in such negotiations. I have a difficult time imagining Trump ordering Pompeo to do what he can to get Assange in order to give Mueller a helping hand.

According to the NY observer, there are supposed to be 'dozens of sealed indictments' being held by Mueller. The observer is a conservative publication, and their analysis of 'It's too late to stop the Mueller investigation' is interesting

With all due respect, I've been hearing about these dozens of sealed indictments since February of 2017.

And . since Feb of 2017, look how many got revealed.
I should elaborate: all these sealed indictments were on their way to the White House to put the entire Trump family in prison.
The investigation has been meaningful and productive, but much slower and more boring than people would like, though that has worked to Mueller's advantage.
He's been spending two years setting the chess board to his advantage, so even though Trump still has all his highest ranking pieces on the board they're all essentially boxed in. If Mueller had made a beeline for the King he would have lost instantly.
Mueller has experience. He knows his stuff. He would make a much better AG than Whitiger , that's for sure.

Not sure that this emanated from Mueller. Do you have a link that says the document in question here came from the Mueller investigation or is this from another Justice Dept investigation?
No specifics were revealed, so we don't know the specific charges.By what power and jurisdiction does the United States Jusitice Department claim it can prosecute an Australian national operating out of Germany, and other European cities (but not America) for publishing materials allegedly stolen either by American whistleblowers or foreign security/intelligence agents when establishment media organisations like the New York Times and several major European mainstream newspapers did exactly the same thing and are not being prosecuted?
That seems highly unlikely.This is selective prosecution and ignores the fundamental principle of the Rule of Law that all laws must be applied universally and equally to all.
They can, if they actually encouraged or aided someone in the process of violating US law.Are American media corporations who published leaked secrets engaging in espionage? No, of course not...
Assange was not captured on a battlefield, he's not an "unlawful combatant," so there won't be a military trial. US indictments can be sealed, but criminal trials are public.Political prosecution and an epic miscarriage of justice plus prosecutorial over-reach will be the hallmarks of this prosecution if it is conducted in public.
We don't know. However, if they encouraged or abetted violations of US law, they could be charged.Are all other management and employees of Wikileaks likewise under US Justice Department sealed indictments for their roles in the alleged acts of espionage which Wikileaks is supposed to have committed?
