Any bets as to St Trump pardoning Assange when he gets elected? Or will it be another choice of an asshat such as Pompeo as CIA chief who will plot to murder him?
Members of the Bundestag demand the immediate release of Julian Assange. “The political show trial against Assange must be ended immediately,” says the MPs’ letter, which is available exclusively to the Frankfurter Rundschau. “He is entitled to a fair trial before the European Court of Human Rights.” 75 members of the Bundestag from the traffic light parties signed the appeal. The appeal was coordinated by the Green MP Max Lucks, Frank Schwabe from the SPD and the FDP MP Ulrich Lechte. “His case is emblematic of the state of press freedom in Europe,” said Lucks. “My British colleagues should contact their government and join us in demanding a hearing before the ECHR.”

You don't need to be a journalist to expose a government that murders unarmed civilians.
I believe that was a post of sarcasm

Yes, the sarcasm being that Assange is not a journalist because actual journalists today work with the government to keep things hidden.
Julian Assange: Not only Olaf Scholz speaks out against his extradition
Europe's Olaf Scholz surprises with words against the extradition of Julian Assange to the USA. In the European Parliament, politicians are calling for an end to the perfidious persecution of the journalist.

"Assange is a Australian citizen. Their silence makes Australia a cuck nation?"
The High Court this week had one job: to decide whether Julian Assange should be granted a full appeal hearing or whether he should be immediately extradited to the US to face trial. Given two clear options they decided to do neither. Instead, with Assange approaching five years in Belmarsh high security prison, they decided to wait for even longer before making a final decision.
This latest delay is because the Court has asked the US government to supply ‘assurances’ that if Assange is put on trial in the US, he will be treated as if he were a US citizen, not a foreigner; that he will be guaranteed First Amendment freedom of speech protections; and that he will not face the death penalty. If the US fails to provide such assurances, then the judges will reconvene and grant a full appeal hearing. If its assurances satisfy the Court, then the extradition will proceed. All this will be argued through at yet another hearing on 20 May.

No. Australia is demanding his immediate release. See "Australia's parliament has passed a motion calling on the US and
UK to release Julian Assange, ahead of a crucial legal hearing." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-68302206

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