I was speaking figuratively, since they were an investigation and Assange is the one who ran wikileaks when they released the DNC/Podesta emails.



No laws were broken by publishing the DNC/Podesta emails. It is not illegal to embarrass politicians by exposing their corruption.

The fact of him being investigated, also, is not evidence of guilt. So speaking figuratively is actually counter-productive to understanding the situation with regards to Wikileaks exposure of US government crimes against humanity.
