Last week the WikiLeaks Twitter account, widely believed to be run by Julian Assange, tweeted: "If Obama grants Manning clemency Assange will agree to US extradition despite clear unconstitutionality of DoJ case".
On Tuesday (Wednesday NZT), President Obama commuted most of the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst who leaked a vast collection of sensitive military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks has been campaigning for this result intensely, before and especially since hints emerged that Obama may use the traditional pardoning powers of an outgoing president on Manning's behalf.

Did he just play Obama into pardoning Manning?
Or maybe he has an agreement to be pardoned by Trump?
