What an awful interview. I didn’t even hear Sean ask Julian how he was doing, where he has been, and his situation for being cut off from the world!
Ecuador said they were cutting his mic until the election was over. Maybe they’re waiting for the electors voting before deciding it’s over.
My theory is that he is in protective custody somewhere (or in hostile custody) and in order to keep findingassange.com from publishing the leaks that they were planning to publish tomorrow, they had to show that he is alive. If he is in protective custody, they probably don't want to release these until after the inauguration. If he is in Obama's side's custody, they don't ever want it released, and in that case he must have had a gun to his head on the interview. And he didn't really sound like that.
