Remember the most important fact. The only leverage he has is against the USA and he played those cards all at once. To anyone else (China, Russia, Ecuador etc), he's just a tool to use until it has no use.
I don't think there is much point in reading into anything said or done. For Russia, China and Jullien Assange, It's all self serving theater. Much of the truth won't be known for years.
The only thing I will bet money on is that he will end up back in the US and be tried for what he's done. There is zero chance the government will let this go without a severe response.

handlers up to a point. this crossed my mind, he was selling the intel and got left hanging after they got the stuff. could be, i would not doubt that out of 25,000+ snoops with top secret security clearance that there has been intel sold. i'm having a hard time reconciling that with his behavior though........he then panicked and contacted the wp/telegraph? i guess eh. should be a pretty good movie!
