WikiLeaks seems to be quite thoughtful after the reports made by anonymous officials and argue that Assange will not face any of the accusations accusing him, arguing that it could be a trick to undermine Australian support.
". It remains to be seen whether the allegations by these unknown, anonymous officials are more than an attempt to reduce public support for WikiLeaks."
The Washington Post reported that the Ministry US Justice will not charge Assange for publishing classified documents because he could not do so without prosecuting other news organizations and journalists.
"The time has come for the FBI to abandon the WikiLeaks's absurd prosecution and launch a full and open investigation into what has been done," WikiLeaks reported.
Of course, while the Washington Post reported last weekteam that US officials have stated that there is no approved indictment against Assange, he argues that the US is very likely to have issued such a document, as well as a certified extradition order.
Assange insists he could be arrested by the British police and taken to the US if he left the Ecuador Embassy.
The 42-year-old has been holed up in the London embassy for 18 months, avoiding extradition to Sweden for an alleged sex attack.
Assange earlier claimed this year that even if the accusations by the Swedish authorities fall, he will not leave Ecuador's embassy in fear of being arrested and tried in the US.
Assange's lawyer, Mr. Barry Pollack, said that Mr founder of WikiLeaks would welcome a "formal categorical statement" from Washington that it will not prosecute him and will not do so in the future.
"Unfortunately, to date, the Department of Justice has not been prepared to make such a statement," Pollack told the Guardian.
