Wasn't this supposed drone quote said before Assange entered the Ecuadorian embassy? The quote was in 2010, but Assange wasn't at the embassy until 2012. Not to say I believe that Clinton was seriously considering assassinating Assange, but I don't think that not wanting a drone strike in the middle of London is a valid argument against it.

The "2010" quote is unsourced.

Yes unsourced claim referenced by Assange himself with his WikiLeaks Twitter account.

The level of evidence for this claim is "I heard from someone that Clinton said it once, I won't tell you who that person is or provide any evidence I talked to them. But there is supporting evidence because she often jokes about drone striking troublesome adversaries."
It's not nothing, but it's pretty damn close.
