    this is great and unexpected news.

    the only shade on this is that it seems they still charged him with something, but say his sentence is covered under "time served".
    So it still puts whatever they think he did in the criminal category. making it possible to arrest him or other who do similar again.
    do similar means REPORT THE FACTS ABOUT govt corruption & murders.

    Correct me if I'm wrong. He didn't steal anything. He just published what was given to him.

    That seemed to be a whole lot of pleading to a crime he apparently didn't commit.

    He recruited those who stole the info, then he published it.

    Why would he plead guilty if he did no wrong? Did he plead to whatever was offered for a lesser sentence? Did what he plead to reflect what he did?

    the guys been basically under arrest on the run for 14 years from the U.S. gov't. for no real crime. He's not a U.S. Citizen. the CIA is on public record looking for ways to kill him. They threw the book at him & offered him a plea deal.

    so we're to assume that He's guilty of "SOMETHING!" because the gov't and courts said so.
    Trump was more guilty of a crime under the "law" than Assange ever was.
    & you call me naive.

    Moreso because he said so. He had 14 years to prove his innocence.
