The Department of Justice doesn’t have any expectations about when Julian Assange may actually be brought to the U.S. to face the conspiracy charge against him, a Justice official told ABC News on Thursday, given the prospect of British court proceedings and a potentially lengthy extradition fight across the Atlantic.
Though British police said Assange was arrested Thursday “on behalf of the United States authorities,” he was first taken to a local court where he was found guilty of a bail-jumping charge – a crime for which he could serve up to a year in prison there. The sentencing date for that offense has not been set.
Then there’s the impending court battle over extradition that itself could last months or years, according to Amy Jeffress, a former Justice Department attaché to the U.S. Embassy in London.founder Julian Assange arrested after 7 years of hiding out; indicted in US) The U.S. and the U.K. are historically very close allies, and Jeffress said the way in which Assange was arrested suggested the British Home Office had approved the U.S. extradition request that would’ve come from the U.S. Embassy in London. But the extradition process affords Assange ample opportunity for challenging the decision, from the British magistrate courts to various appeals courts to potentially the European Court of Human Rights.
waiting to see how long it is before he meets with an untimely accident or gets suicided...

WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange faces U.S. computer-hacking charge after arrest in LondonBreaking: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been indicted on a U.S. charge alleging a computer hacking conspiracy to access a classified U.S. government computer, the Justice Department announced shortly after he was arrested by British police. Assange was forcibly removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he had been granted sanctuary for nearly seven years, after the South American country's leader ended his diplomatic asylum. I think he is a hero. Both the United States and the United Kingdom are in dire need of a diversion to take the focus off of their horrendous domestic political situation. I guess they think they could do with a 2 for 1 deal!
