Assange has a vested interest to bring down Clinton. The DOJ is investigating WikiLeaks and Assange. He wants the dogs called off.
What he has been doing is to create pressure to make that happen.
He has no evidence that a DNC staffer that was killed by anyone other than a robbery attempt. He's put up a reward for information. That has led people to believe this kid as the source.
But you're an idiot. Connect the dots. If RUSSIA hacked the DNC, and Assange won't say that he didn't receive the emails from RUSSIA, there isn't any connection to the staffer. Assange is smokescreening.
