Incredible news.
I don't think it can be understated just how much damage this man did to US credibility through wikileaks. I have no idea if he has the skillset he once had or the connections that enabled it but they incredible damage to the US and they hunted him relentlessly for it to set an example. And it worked flawlessly. Other outlets became considerably more on the side of the US in the aftermath of crackdowns on Assange and police raids of any news org that was publishing anything the US didn't like, the UK Guardian being an obvious famous example of this when the authorities raided them for Snowden's harddrives and forced them to take angle grinders to the drives while GCHQ operatives observed.
I wonder what "negotiations" took place. Is he allowed to go back to journalism if he wanted to?
