The transcript is a textbook example of begging the question. And the first paragraph fully spells out why Hannity was there, which was to try and dispel the idea that Russia helped Trump. Hannity doesn't even pretend. Not to mention the way the questions were worded allowed Assange to answer without answering. Did the Russian government directly give Assange that data? No, and that would be hilariously inept for Russia. The way Hannity phrases all his questions allows Assange to easily answer "no." Just a terrible interview. This "interview" is why Hannity is not, and should not be considered, a journalist.
