If that was true, how would Clinton docs affect FARC negotiations? Is Clinton habitually buying cocaine from Colombia or what would be the reason?

I would understand if Kerry asked Ecuador to stop Assange from publishing Clinton docs until she has been elected or until after the next presidential debate. That would make a lot of sense. But this FARC <--> Clinton doc connection doesn't.

You're misunderstanding, the claim is that it was 'during', not 'because'. Kerry was there as part of the negotiations, and supposedly had a private meeting where he made the request. Not that I particularly believe this, just clarifying for you!
