Was it Assange that Trump said he would prosecute? Or was that Snowden? (Or both?) I don't think Trump will back out of that proclamation without very good reason; he doesn't want to have the MSM parading about going back on his word, and he wants to discourage future leaks in his own administration.

Assange's opinion of Hillary Clinton:

In his view, Clinton was corrupt, pathetically driven by personal ambition, a neoliberal interventionist destined to take the United States into war—the epitome of a political establishment that deserved to be permanently ousted. In February, 2016, he wrote a rare editorial on the WikiLeaks Web site declaring Clinton unfit for office. The piece cited video footage, from 2011, which showed Clinton learning that Muammar Qaddafi had been killed. “We came! We saw! He died!” she declared, laughing—a reaction that prompted Assange to write, “Hillary’s problem is not just that she’s a war hawk. She’s a war hawk with bad judgment who gets an unseemly emotional rush out of killing people. She shouldn’t be let near a gun shop, let alone an army. And she certainly should not become president of the United States.” Esquire

It's clear now that there will be no swamp draining. That was a lie to get votes
