The US has an agreement with the UK and many other nations for extradition of criminals that have committed crimes against the US or vice versa. Once he steps out of the sovereign ground of that embassy he will be subject to UK law and that extradition treaty.
Exactly. There is no requirement for international law to apply here.

Nothing he put out was false, he’s more of a journalist than our media ever will be. I have no faith in the integrity of our intelligence agencies and the rule of law in this country when corrupt people have their fingers on the scales.
So just stealing secret data and randomly dumping it endangering our security make him a journalist, must be some new ethics standards.

"Mueller is bad" ? Only in you mind. Mueller is probably one of the most honest, hard working, ethical people on this planet, and he did a great job on the report. It was Trump's bootlicking AG who has hidden the whole report from not only us, but the rest of Congress.
What is Trump afraid of in that report that he won't let Barr release it ? I think we know the answer, but you guys will never believe it if it smacks you in the face. You haven't seen the report, and neither have we, so to speculate is simply cheer leading.
Word. Whatever is actually in Mueller's report, whatever he says he found, every rational person in America will believe. Mueller is tops.
Now all we have to do is pry it out of the hands of Trump's handpicked bootlicker and toady.
There is a huge difference between him and Snowden. Snowden actually stole info. Assange just received it and made it public just like every other journalist that has done the same. If he's guilty of a crime for that than so are thousands of journalists around the world.
Indeed, assuming the U. S sends him away forever to some small cell, will American journalists who expose the actions of foreign governments in future, be at risk of the same fate?
Dangerous precedent but democracy dieing appears to untrouble folks
The UK will do what it always has done, shout " how high" when America says "jump"
The High Court rejected the extradition of both Gary McKinnon and Lauri Love to the US, where they were wanted for computer hacking however they were both mildly autistic and has aspergers syndrome.
