I don't know about this arrest. Something tells me that what is in the forefront is only a misdirection and that something else is happening under the radar.

Let's face it; if they wanted to get rid of Assange or anyone else they have ways to do it.

Nobody wants the blame. This is the Zola Trial of the 2010’s.

Actually according to the old Soviet playbook this is exactly how they would do it. You don't accuse a dissident of treason since it is hard to prove, the trial can be embarrassing to the state and you create a martyr. You accuse the dissident of rape or child molestation. Simple he said, she said. State isn't involved so can be embarrassed. The dissident, and everything they did prior to the arrest is discredited. And most importantly they are not a "Political" prisoner that some other country can make a fuss about. They are just another rapist sitting in jail.

I think you are right. If there are no more WikiLeaks damaging to BO and there are no efforts by Holder to prosecute Assange in the US, then we will know BO made a deal with Assange to buy his silence about BO’s involvement in WikiLeaks.
