Endgame for Assange

It looks like Ecuador is done with Assange. I expect he won't be staying in the embassy for much longer.

When this finally ends, I wonder if he will keep his Ecuadorian citizenship. Or will they just drop any pretense that he actually qualified and admit it was just something they gave him in a prior failed effort to get him out of the embassy safely. I also wonder if the Trump Administration will charge him with any crimes when they get the chance (as the Obama Administration would have), or if they will be fine with letting him walk for services rendered.
