    That’s not how it works. In order to leave the embassy he would have to set foot on Brit soil, and he had an arrest warrant. He was not granted asylum by Britain, only Ecuador. As I remember, they were the only country to say yes. They changed government, and there you go.

      And in order to leave the American embassy, Einstein had to cross German soil. He was allowed to because he was granted asylum.

          Weird, because William H. Geist famously refused to give Einstein a visa and public outcry forced him to flip on that. And then he was taken to the U.S.

          Do you think the plane took off from the embassy?

            I think Einstein didn’t have a warrant out for his arrest.

              True. He was just Jewish. And yet the Germans let him leave anyway. You do know that they didn’t let any Jew who wanted to leave without a visa, right?

                Visas are for entering countries, not leaving them.

                    Other than Einstein being just like Assange, but not. What you got? Oh, Nazi paperwork? OK. But, I think you have have diluted your argument sufficiently
