If Assange is facing charges in the US (and I don't think there's any evidence he is) then that's his problem. You don't get to avoid prosecution for a crime because it is politically or legally inconvenient for you.

It clearly is his problem, because he's been stuck in the Ecuadorian embassy for years. That sounds like his problem.

You clearly do, if the alternative for the people who want to prosecute you is to violate international norms and storm an embassy.
