I’m not saying Assange is fully responsible for the outcome of the 2016 election. But when you directly attack one party of a two party race, you’re actively giving the edge to the other. He clearly held a grudge against Clinton (https://wikileaks.org/hillary-war/) and continued to act upon it.

Now that this multi-decade saga is coming to an end, and we have the benefit of hindsight, I’m wondering if he still thinks that the blast radius of his actions were acceptable, or if perhaps he thinks he should have been more cautious before standing for his principles and acting upon that grudge. From what I know, I’d be remorseful and regret having done it, but I am not him.

So you also agree that the German press publishing damaging allegations directly before the European election against the top AfD candidate was also unacceptable?

This is just a very common tactic in journalism. Leaking stuff directly before the election is just normal and happens all the time.
