#2Obviously the judge will be “impartial” and not recuse himself. Only bad countries don’t have justice like China and Russia according to the main stream media.

#3Most voices in support of Assange seem to come from people with strong conviction that he is clearly a good guy (unsurprisingly). I don’t really have an opinion.
Could someone provide a more impassioned / balanced list of pros and cons?
From my vague point of view, I get that he is sort of a journalist (so should be protected), but also the stuff he leaked did go quite far, like borderline-espionage scale (or is that unfair?). States have a reasonable need to keep things secret, even against the immediate best interest of the citizens (but not long term, clearly). Is much known about his associates, funding sources? If I were an enemy of the USA I’d probably quite like Assange (not that this on its own makes Assange himself a bad guy).
Could someone fill in the gaps ELI5?

impassioned (comparative more impassioned, superlative most impassioned)
Filled with intense emotion or passion; fervent.

There’s no universe in which Assange deserves the treatment he would receive in the US no matter how bad of a guy he is.

Probably "impassionate". (Which has been displaced in modern usage by "dispassionate", but if you learned your English from books you're likely to still use.)

But there's a special place in earth where it routinely happens: the US of A.
What Assange is suffering pales against what happened in Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib.
Nobody ever paid.
