"To highlight just how justified Assange’s fears have been, Fitzgerald also reminded the court of the recent Yahoo News revelations...that the CIA under the Trump Administration made serious plans to kidnap and even assassinate Julian Assange while he was in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London."
That seems like it would undermine the rough basis of the US appeal, that they can offer assurances about humane treatment.
maybe the argument will be that since the CIA is not authorized to operate on U.S soil the only way to keep Assange from being assassinated by the CIA is to place him in a U.S prison.
