Exactly.

A lot of people ask also why Snowden keeps "hiding" in Russia and doesn't come back to face the music.

It's because he's not even allowed to use the public good defense per the Espionage Act.

As for Assange, the poor man has already suffered enough, what the UN amounts to torture. This is despicable and anyone who is concerned about the Uyghurs, Rohingya etc. should voice a strong opposition to what is happening to Assange in the West.

P.S. His prosecution isn't even about the 2016 election, however you feel about that, it's about him exposing war crimes committed by the U.S. government, killing civilians, including knowingly journalists and laughing about it.
