This could be sweet!
Washington (CNN) - Julian Assange's nearly six-year refuge at the Ecuadorian embassy in London is in danger, opening the WikiLeaks founder to arrest by British authorities and potential extradition to the US, multiple sources with knowledge tell CNN.
While Assange has in the past claimed his position in the embassy was under threat, sources say his current situation is "unusually bad" and that he could leave the embassy "any day now," either because he will be forced out or made to feel so restricted that he might choose to leave on his own. His position there is "in jeopardy," one source familiar with the matter said.

That's an interesting question. He'd have to have something good that Mueller doesn't already have. And other US law enforcement wants to get at him so I don't know if it could work.

If the reports of his hygiene are correct.
