IMO the denial of Sweden to guarantee Assange that he will not be sent to the US is enough to

204. That's the fun part of government secrecy

There is a grand jury (in area where lots of national security people live) that is assumed to be working on Assange and Wikipedia. But it works behind closed doors and we cant say for sure what when who, anything specific. To my knowledge Assange has never been to US, so normally there could be hardly be any grounds for any criminal procedure against Assange in a US court, but of course US thinks it can go Guantanamo over anyone considered terrorist (as Biden called Assange) because of TWAT. Laws and justice really don't matter, as people into national security have been able to do their stuff with impunity for ages now. Rule of law does not apply to them. That's the general background against also Assange's situation needs be looked at. If Swedish official really were less interested in personal vendetta against Assange than getting the case solved and of the table in normal manner, some sort of deal could be made for sure. But Sweden is not.
