Trump and Assange, the ultimate litmus test

 It's on Monday next that a court in UK will decide if Julian Assange will be shipped off to a prison in the US.

Assange is hated by the American state for outing their crimes against innocent Iraqi civilians. 

Trump has been busy showering  his deep-state acolytes with pardons lately. Can he extend his generosity to enemies of the swamp he once promised to drain?


My hunch is he won't. Trump has done his part in the great American democracy charade, and faux establishment outrage aside, he and his clan will be well looked after going forward. 

A pardon for Assange would throw all that over the side.
