For those suggesting "taking out" Assange, have you considered how badly that would backfire?
He's kind of a pariah presently. He's discredited outside the circle of his rabid supporters as a Russian puppet. And he hurts Wikileaks, and anti-US leakers in general just by association.
Kill him and everyone will instantly assume the US did it. European and other governments will be angry, and will a *lot* of motivated activists.
For anyone who doesn't like what Assange does, "taking him out" would probably be the stupidest possible thing to do. (So I guess it's no surprise that Trump-types would suggest it.)
