It's 4D chess, but not on the part of the good guys. It's internal insurgency. The "deep state...the swamp" (whatever you want to call them - the career bureaucrats) leaked what they want to happen. Now the administration either has to do what they want or attack what is theoretically it's own people. The administration now either goes after Assange or publicly refuses to pursue a guy the "experts" (as they will play in the media) call an asset of Russia and is killed for being "soft on Russia."
It makes me very unhappy, but if you can step back from it it's really a very genius move on the part of the swampers.

IMHO you are overthinking this. Trump has his man in the top DOJ spot. No extraditions, no prosecutions can happen without the consent and cooperation of the Acting AG. I don't contemplate Trump risking losing a ton of followers by messing with Assange, who by the way, is a key witness against HRC and the cabal.
