While I can understand that, the root issue is that this “hacking” is in fact a public service—whistleblowing. There was much more support for Assange, even from the political establishment, before he published the emails in the lead up to the election. I can’t even be mad at that because it showed what a corrupt organization the DNC was at the time (and probably still is, although there is the Unity coalition now).

So I would argue he embarrassed both the military industrial complex AND the DNC to get him where he is now. It’s also much harder to see publishing internal documents of a campaign/political party as a public service or whistleblowing, though I think the case for “russian interference” is entirely overblown compared to, say, blatant interference via the incestuous political/media blob.
