Ok Larry, it wasn't your assertion - you were just quoting all of those sites.  The people that originally came up with that  post (republican hatchet men) and spread it all around were baselessly implying that the quote was from a Clinton campaign staffer and that his attack on Assange was in response to the DNC e-mail hack.  Why would they do something so dishonest?  Because they hoped that people like you would pick it up and try to pass it on as if it were true.  Congratulations on doing your part.
