While there are bits of truth in this comment, much of it is exaggerated and unsubstantiated, namely:

- Being a verified Russian asset

- Working with Russia to specifically help elect Trump to the office of president

- Specifically seeking to weaken US democracy

Going to need sources and supporting evidence proportionate to the extent of your claims.

Came back to answer but the comment got flagged, but I think I remember it being that he chose not to publish RNC info received at roughly the same time as the DNC emails.

That said, I just fact-checked myself and found that the RNC stuff was already public and that was Assange's reason for not publishing. So I'm not sure anything in the comment I was replying to can be substantiated.
