The DNC hack may or may not have been a Russian attempt to help Donald Trump. That’s a charge that needs more evidence. However, when it comes to Julian Assange's motives in releasing the information through Wikileaks, there’s no question of his goals.

Six weeks before the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks published an archive of hacked Democratic National Committee emails ahead of the Democratic convention, the organization’s founder, Julian Assange, foreshadowed the release — and made it clear that he hoped to harm Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the presidency.

In an interview, Assange refused to say that he supported Donald Trump, but when it comes to Hillary, he’s adamant in his desire to harm her campaign ...

He also suggested that he not only opposed her candidacy on policy grounds, but also saw her as a personal foe.

Assange has also indicated that more material is on the way concerning the elections—information that comes with an agenda.

Even though Trump has actively campaigned on the idea of weakening the First Amendment to make it easier to go after journalists, and the Republican candidate has called for “tougher” action in the Middle East, Assange seems unconcerned:

Mr. Assange replied that what Mr. Trump would do as president was “completely unpredictable.”

Absolutely. So long as you ignore all the things Trump has said he would do.
