In my opinion, Assange lost his moral high ground after it came out that he was communicating with Trump Jr. and helping the Trump campaign. And that he delayed and timed the DNC and Podesta leaks to cause maximum advantage to Trump, instead of just releasing them when ready.
Not to mention that DNC and Podesta were private entities, not government officials and zero illegality was revealed by those leaks. He later was asking Trump Jr to ask Trump to recommend himself as the Aussie ambassador to the US as payment for helping Trump win.
There he was just doing oppo research for Trump, corrdinated via Roger Stone. We don’t know whether he also conspired with that crime, as he is alleged to have done here, but we do know that if it was about public information we would have seen the RNC and Conway’s emails too. Since it was a crime and a possibly-unrelated disclosure both of which were acts of propaganda and information warfare and he has said it was motivated by his personal desire to change the outcome of the election, it is by definition neither motivated by not in service to educating the public.
Conway or the rnc had zero impact on people's perception of trump. Trump was the forerunner and eventually became president and it was clear that was the only way a republican would be president by the time the dnc emails were leaked. What would it have accomplished to release those docs, assuming assange had possession of them?
What exactly was the crime you're referring to and saying he's guilty of? If I have information about two candidates I can give it to others however I'd like.
