Which, as evidence to that goes, isn't any.

Comey can't comment on classified or open cases (which Assange would be because, duh, WikiLeaks) just procedural things. Which that was.

It says nothing other than they have an investigation- well we knew that.

To me, the words “he hasn't been apprehended because he is inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London" strongly imply, in context, that the US has an intention to "apprehend" Assange.


Well yes. We knew that already too.

The US already wanted to apprehend him while he was walking around London before his Embassy period so it's clearly not a snatch & grab situation.

He's not been officially charged with a crime in the US yet either so extradition isn't an issue.

Anything else that we already know you would like to add?


Nah. Given you've already devolved into misquoting and misrepresentation, I'm pretty sure we're done here.
