I mean it came out that he/wikileaks were communicating and coordinating with the Trump campaign and Assange requested that Trump ask the Aus govt to appoint him as Aussie ambassador to the US as payment for helping him win. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/the-secret-correspondence-between-donald-trump-jr-and-wikileaks/545738/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/the-sec... So many that supported him earlier don't support him anymore because he was delaying and timing leaks and selectively leaking things to help get Trump elected. I personally felt he lost the moral high ground after that.

What does moral high ground have to do with being charged and extradited?

The charges in question are still regarding those earlier leaks, though. One can reasonably argue whether they were morally right or not, or even that it's too complicated to simplify like that - but it has to be argued in that original context.

>he was delaying and timing leaks and selectively leaking things to help get Trump elected. Isn't it also possible, that he was selectively leaking things to ensure that someone he knew to be a war criminal would not gain power in the American presidency?
