What is unclear is whether Assange or the Russians are doing the altering. I'm not sure that in the end it really matters. Both are pushing Trump's candidacy for their own reasons. Putin likes Trump because he seems to be able to control him. Assange wants our government to forgive him for his participation in the theft and distribution of classified materials. He thinks (and maybe Putin has assured him) that Trump will let Assange off the hook.
