This has always been my reservation. If you have all the knowledge in the world, but only expose the transgressions of people and institutions you have a vendetta against, how does that improve anything?

This is why we have crackpots like Trump, chants of "lock her up", skepticism of established institutions, and skepticism of science moving to the forefront. Assange isn't the only one doing this, but he was a big part of it.
