My guess is anything related to the DNC hacks or any of their activity relating to the 2016 election are still tied up in offshoots of the Mueller investigation. Like the ongoing case against Roger Stone, for example. They could be waiting until they get Stone to cooperate with their probe so they have him as a witness to go after Assange. Or maybe the reverse, they want Assange arrested so they can depose him, search his laptop, and compel him to testify against Roger Stone. Probably some combination of the two. Yeah, I think this is probably them just trying to get him extradited and in custody so they can open the door to get more evidence.
