The situation is much more complex. The first instance (that I still got on archive) of someone claiming that Hillary Clinton wanted to kill Assange occurred in Dec 18, 2010 by The Juice Media, a left-wing Australian company that produces comedic contemporary political and social satire videos. (https://youtu.be/hl4NlA97GeQ?t=237 https://youtu.be/hl4NlA97GeQ?t=237) Then we have the case of Sigurdur “Siggi” Thordarson. In 2011 the FBI tried to recruit Sigurdur, who volunteered at wikileaks. "spy on associates of WikiLeaks, sow discord among its members, and steal their electronic devices" is a pretty fair description on what then occurred. After Assange was granted asylum in 2012, the security company UC Global who was in charge of the building was also working with CIA. The US embassy was also active in discussion with the Swedish prosecutors during this time about Assange and Wikileaks, which the Swedish government said "did not influence the case". The prosecutor did however break Swedish law in other ways, a fact found by the Swedish high court. Also around this time there was a leaked document that I can't locate at this point, which showed plans for an extradition. Those where at the time dismissed as rumors, even if we know now that such plans were drafted and put into action in 2019. All this time Hillary Clinton where United States Secretary of State, representing the United States to foreign countries. It is unclear how much responsibility she had over FBI and CIA, and with the extradition, but when it came to the cable gates a lot people assumed she was partially in charge of the US reaction in terms of foreign affiars. It is one of the main theories why Jualian Assange seemed to have a personal vendetta against Hillary Clinton 4 years later in 2016. Hillary Clinton did also get the question if she, as the Secretary of State, ever discussed the assassination of Assange. Her answer was that she do not remember, but if she did so it would have been a joke. That did not reassure people.
