Julian is free today. He says he'll stay in Britain. He's only wanted for questioning in Sweden. He wants to be questioned by video or in person in Britain.
Why didn't the US charge him while he was locked up? Could it be they don't have a case? Even if they charge him it would be a big 'ole mess that would drag out for years. Top lawyers in the US say the US government would probably come out on top with a jury trial 'cuz the jury won't like what he did, legal or not, but the chances of getting him on US soil for a trial are next to zero.
Even if they jailed him today, it wouldn't change WikiLeaks at all. It wasn't a one man operation. It's now spread out all over the world with thousands of people involved. It's probably not worth it now to go after Julian. He wasn't the one who stole all the info anyway.
Whatever happens to Julian, WikiLeaks will go on. WikiLeaks will go on.
