Anyone who reveals real truth (Snowden & Assange) is ostracized and hunted like an animal... A lot of people forget that Snowden partnered with Glen Greenwald to release his information. https://thetyee.ca/Books/2014/05/30/No-Place-to-Hide/

Greenwald sold out for a big payday https://pando.com/2013/11/27/keeping-secrets/ and Snowden's trove of secrets are controlled exclusively by him and one other person, supposedly. Why the Russians gave Snowden sanctuary is a mystery but I suspect that he had some bargaining chips to offer in return...

A few optimistic people think that the USG will pardon Assange and let him leave the Ecuadorian Embassy. I wouldn't bet on it. see: https://www.ajc.com/news/national/president-obama-didn-pardon-chelsea-manning-here-what-did-instead/gkqRaQugseF5GcVhcp6c1J/ Trump has badmouthed Obama's decision to commute Chelsea Manning's sentence and Secretary of State and former CIA headmaster Pompeo has declared Assange to be a terrorist and a threat to the USA.

Here is a Pompeo quote: "Third, we have to recognize that we can no longer allow Assange and his colleagues the latitude to use free speech values against us. To give them the space to crush us with misappropriated secrets is a perversion of what our great Constitution stands for. It ends now.

And finally—and perhaps most importantly—we need to deepen the trust between the Intelligence Community and the citizens we strive to protect." That last paragraph is a real hoot...
