Also if the US renounced any claim to him what if he then released some really sensitive information? Giving him blanket immunity simply so he will consent to facing allegations from Sweden? It's not going to happen and he knows it which is why he asked for it. Makes it look like 'somethings going on'. Even if the US did say 'we will not extradite Assange for any of the crimes thus far' will give him a chance to claim that the Americans will instead invent another crime and their 'conditional' promise is worth nothing.
