I've seen interviews a year or two after where he's said he doesn't regret it because it was important to address it due to her basically expecting to win.
Not sure if he still holds that to this day though seeing the fustercluck we've got.
Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.
"She did it. Maybe without meaning to, but she did do it."
Back in 2016, WikiLeaks was in direct communication with Trump Jr. and telling the campaign to claim the election was rigged and stolen if he lost. He was pulling a lot of stuff behind the scenes outside of the scope of journalism. It's clear Assange was likely a mouthpiece for Russia to sow division in the US during this period.
You say he was not a journalist, but we’ve never seen good evidence of this. At worst, he was a bad journalist.
Anyway, maybe Democratic presidents and candidates could have considered the impact of their actions on his life. Did they think he would be sympathetic to them, after all they did or failed to do? This is common sense.
Never said he wasn't a journalist, just that some of his correspondence with the Trump campaign during the 2016 election was not journalistic behavior. I don't think it's the singular reason Hillary lost the election, but it did negatively affect the campaign and helped Trump.
