As much as I appreciate the work that Assange has done, don't forget that he is a socialist. One of his closest allies and friends for many years in the media has been John Pilger - a guy who has written a regular column for "Green Left Weekly" where he often criticized Obama for not being far enough to the left. I think it's fair to say that his main motivation for publishing the Podesta emails was to screw Hillary for screwing Bernie. At least he talks to someone like Sean Hannity though so he's not a completely close-minded, lefty-loon like many in the media.
