Both the indictment and extradition request long predate Assanges loss of asylum.

I believe it is inherently bad politics to single out an individual case like this. Is Trump DOJ reviewing all cases Obama DOJ decided to not prosecute or did someone just happen to feel like going after Assange?
I think odds are it’s the latter.
