But seriously, do you think he's going to be able to whistleblow on the US MIC and walk away scot free?
Here's a sincere question for you: what do YOU think will happen to him if he walks out of that embassy?
As to your question about why they didn't grab him when he was on bail at his friend's house: we can't really know why, but I'm thinking it's because the UK is an ally and they don't want to interfere with their justice system; it would look bad, just like it would look bad for the UK to storm the Ecuadorian embassy.
AGAIN: I wonder at the vitriol displayed towards him on DU. What are the motives?
