Sadly, if Assange does end up free the safest place for him will be somewhere like Russia, which will only further intensify the propaganda against him.
The difference there is that Snowden ended up in Russia unintentionally. There's a decent change he'd also be in custody now if he had made it to Ecuador though.
Though I think you're also unfairly blaming Assange for the Democrat's own failures, Assange's "personal beef" was not wanting someone who suggested he be drone striked to become president. I would also favor the person who hasn't called for my death.
Things like the collaboration is "self evident" or "speak for itself" are typical of propaganda. They basically say "we can't actually provide hard evidence of these claims, but we can point out enough odd things to make you assume our claim is correct."
