Not mentioned in the article, but I think pertinent: the possibility that Assange is deliberately fostering these questions, as publicity.
This is a man who claimed he was going to drop a massive October surprise ending Clinton's run from the balcony, then cancel the balcony appearance hinting that his life might be in danger (from Clinton's snipers hitting him during his speech?) and switched it to a 3 am live-cast from a basement, and then it turned out the whole thing was just a promotion for his book.[1]
Whether or not it's the case in this situation, I'd say it wouldn't be out of character.
Trying to use the Seth Rich murder for attention by hinting that it was him that released the dnc mails and that was why he got murdered was basically where I lost all respect for wikileaks and why I'm leaning towards this being a publicity stunt.
Probably because Thanks-giving and EoY is so close, I'm really tired of all the dramas of leaks and media now. I sincerely hope that a few years later, we'll look at our world today to find out how ridiculous we are, just like today we look at Cold War. We can laugh and learn, eventually, hopefully.
