As far as russia is concerned Assange was merely a useful idiot (see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot ) and a public figure they could use. If at all. (I'm not personally familiar with the matter..
)
The other stuff (Clinton emails, and Trump), has almost nothing to do with the matter at hand. (Published classified information on a whole bunch of things, including the Iraq war. Got himself in a whole lot of trouble because of it.) Yet, this thread is full of the stuff (Trump and Clinton emails) that really hardly matters at all.
In regards to the Clinton emails, a James Comey was far more responsible for the public impact, than an Assange was - yet I dont see him ending his life in a high security prison.
What this means (imho) is, that people are projecting stories, and meanings onto the public figure of an Assange, instead of taking the precedings at face value.
He created an anonymous leak platform. He made some minor political moves (wasnt always impartial), now hes about to be locked away for life, maybe tortured, maybe put in solitary confinement, after a political deal, and a betrayal of granted immunity rights, by a south american country.
