The environment has changed now. Democrats were pissed about the 2016 (2015?) leaks and started crying that Assange was a Russian agent
I’d be pleasantly surprised if Biden relented on this, but surprised nonetheless

Problem is Assange’s interests and Moscow’s interests aligned very very closely in Wikileaks’ heyday, so he’s won zero friends. He’d be better off trying to flee to Russia, which of course is a very dark definition of “better” and almost certainly impossible.
