Source: ABC News
LONDON -- Julian Assanges partner, Stella Moris, has tweeted President Donald Trump on Thanksgiving, appealing to him to pardon the WikiLeaks founder.
Moris posted a photo of their two young children on Twitter Thursday and wrote: These are Julians sons Max and Gabriel. They need their father. Our family needs to be whole again.
I beg you, please bring him home for Christmas, she added.
Assange, 49, remains in a high-security British prison cell as he awaits a judge's decision about whether he can be sent to the U.S. to face espionage charges.

Wikileaks moved their servers to Moscow after getting heat from the US for publishing their diplomatic cables.
Wikileaks moved their servers to Moscow AFTER a russian spokesperson bragged that russian secret agents would simply murder everyone at Wikileaks if they tried to pull that shit on Russia.
You read that right: Wikileaks moved to Moscow after Moscow threatened to KILL Wikileaks for doing their job.
And I have read an interview Julian Assange did with a journalist who's a personal friend of his. The journalist asked Assange whether they got the Clinton and DNC leaks from russian agents. In response, Assange conducted a carefully worded rethorical dance trying to neither confirm nor deny that Wikileaks had been used by Russia as their tool.
Switzerland or Moscow? Take your guess.

7 years of his life wasted.
7 years of family-life gone by.

He was originally from Townsville, Queensland, Australia. The whole Wikileaks concept of revelations was based on a once popular concept of 'stick it to the Man', 'Reveal government devious plots', etc.
But like most keyboard warriors, future consequences weren't considered.
And yes Julian, we got the message. Governments often do Dirty Deeds.
He has already served 7 years of self imposed imprisonment, why not just send him on his way? Anywhere. Then ignore him.
