the permission to stay in Russia like Snowden? He could even have his internet access back.
If he is kicked out of the embassy he possibly goes to jail for rape. If he gets Schiff to meet with him to clear his name as far as wikileaks and Hillary emails go, then would this benefit him as far as the rape charges go? The charges are from a completely different country. Why does he want to clear his name with the US Dems? Randy Credico announced this on MSNBC yesterday. Apparently Arrange told him to contact Schiff and to do this. Meanwhile their mutual pal Stone has unfriended Credico after he bad-mouthed him in the media over the past month and has harassed him.

There was speculation that the trunk, especially fitted with a small seat and adjustable foot and head supports, had been used for other such "shipments," because the exterior appeared worn.
The trunk was addressed to the United Arab Republics Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cairo. One tag identified the trunk as "Diplomatic Mail No. 33."

Assange is a Russian tool.
