Going to need sources and supporting evidence proportionate to the extent of your claims.
That said, I just fact-checked myself and found that the RNC stuff was already public and that was Assange's reason for not publishing. So I'm not sure anything in the comment I was replying to can be substantiated.
No one with half a brain believes that. Please try harder.
This has become such a tedious point of hate against Assange, and all the more so because it's so badly unfounded, much like the absurdly time-consuming and costly hullabaloo about Trump himself becoming president due to "collusion" with Russia. I suppose the several dozen million people who voted for Trump in the U.S. just can't be viewed as anything more than brainless peons who couldn't have possibly had any sort of personal motive for doing so? They were all brainwashed? Unlike the enlightened voters for the other side?
That the NY Times and other socially elite media organizations couldn't get over the simple truth of so many people that they ignored in turn ignoring these media organizations' supposedly enlightened pronouncements is one thing. That so many other ordinary progressives can't stand the idea is a bit more absurd.
If you need to sink to the level of promoting conspiracy theories, supporting grotesque miscarriages of legal procedure and actively applauding the suppression of evidence inconvenient to your preferred side of the spectrum, you've lost intellectual credibility.
