if this was such a partisan issue, why did most of the backlash against wikileaks come long before the change of administration, and why didn't the previous administration hillary, etc, speak out loudly for assange, and terminate the programs, rather than continuing them or extending them?

this is not a partisan issue, it is a public awareness / power-elitism issue

Actually, I was just responding to the comment "Swathes of the US public seem to be cheering as their own country is going down" and its response about a religious ethnostate, I wasn't talking about the leakers specifically.
