Working with in this case would be they are directly attacking hilary and ignoring trump. Assange has a beef with hillary and obama, the russians do not want hillary because she will expand the new cold war while trump will work with russia.
The russias want trump over hillary, and assange hates hillary and obama, so trump became the benefactor simply by not being her.
Translation: Trump has no special relationship with Putin - neither a special alliance nor a special antagonism - unlike the Democrats who are beholden to special interests, like those who don't want the Cold War to end.
The Republican base (not talking about their bribable political establishment) are nationalist, and will oppose whoever threatens the United States. During the Cold War, that was mainly Moscow. But the Republican base won't just support fighting wars for the sake of special interests. Meanwhile, the Democrats are indeed the party which caters to special interests - having become even more so under the Clintons, who will cosy up to big banks, etc, in a departure from classical Left-wing working-class populism. So the Democrats under the Clintons are indeed all too happy to stoke up the Cold War, if it means more support and money for them from the relevant special interests (including ethnic special interests).
Trump is a threat to Cold Warriors, simply by virtue of not being the sellout sHillary Clinton. There is no need for a new Cold War, and Trump knows that, as do many in the Republican base. Eisenhower likewise took a stand against unnecessary warmongering by special interests.
Who shot Seth Rich? No valuables were taken from the guy. Why shoot someone dead for no apparent reason? Shouldn't his valuables have been taken? They weren't.
Do the Democrats have their own team of "2nd Amendment people"? At least nobody's actually died because of Trump or his gaffes. But Hillary's camp are into wrongDOING and not merely wrong speaking.
Assange didn't get into the leaks business on some whim of becoming a Russian stooge.
Wikileaks isn't a 1-man operation -- especially with Assange being stuck in the Ecuadorian embassy -- it's a group of idealists, with Assange as their leader. I doubt that Assange would be able to maintain the loyalty of that group of idealists, if he were simply engaging in a petty grudge match against Hillary/Obama.
