If Assange was a Russian agent he wouldn't have gone to the Ecuadorian embassy. He'd have gone to the Russian embassy. Or just left the UK and headed for Russia like Snowden did.

The difference between the two, primarily, is that Assange isn't American, didn't commit a crime in USA, arguably didn't commit a crime at all, while Snowden is an American who took secrets off a US govt computer.

idk about Snowden. I didn't like him running off to Russia when shit hit the fan. That was a huge red flag. Maybe he sincerely felt it was the safest country to flee too though, maybe Assange should have done that instead of running to the Ecuadorian embassy.
