As soon as the stormcloaks liberate Skyrim all the Thalmor agents would be in enemy territory, if any of them are found out they will die. Embassy will fall aswell, when the Skyrim becomes independent. Even if the AD somehow find a way to make it to Skyrim the nords know the terrain better then the elves do, and they use guerilla warefare (which is very usefull in defence). Plus Stormcloaks have better gear, as they now posses the Skyforge.
