.Odd, since Assange is not a US Citizen, but the person who leaked that info to Assange (Manning) was, and that US citizen leaker was pardoned by Obama.
What were the terms of his plea "deal"?
Assange, the only known survivor of Sudden Clinton Death Syndrome, agreed to plead guilty to a single count of espionage yesterday, in exchange for credit for his five years of time served in solitary confinement in a high-security British prison.
Now, suddenly, inexplicably, Julian is free. Assange, now 52 and quite pale, requested sentencing at a remote U.S. outpost in the Marianas Islands, a U.S. Pacific island commonwealth where it turns out we have a United States Federal Courthouse attached to a Tiki bar.
After that, Julian hopes to return to his native Australia, as far from anybody named ‘Clinton’ as he can get.
The deal seems to have developed last month after a British High Court appallingly denied Assange’s extradition to the U.S., ironically and embarrassingly holding that U.S. officials had not satisfied them that America could protect Mr. Assange’s Constitutional rights. At that time, just a couple months ago, the U.S. sought to lock Assange up for 170 years.
Cynics speculated the Assange deal was a news nugget tossed out to distract everyone from what is going on in the Proxy War.

This is one of Trump's failings as well. He should have pardoned both Assange and Snowden.
