Thanks for the civil and thoughtful reply. Craig Murry, the British diplomat turned activist wrote a criticism of the Mueller report that addresses most of the issues you brought up:

Ultimately, most of us will never be in a position to know what "really happened." So it comes down to which source we find most persuasive, based on our lived experiences, capability for rational analysis, and insight for probable future developments.
The American government and its paid-for press have lied about the Gulf of Tonkin, leftist terrorism in Europe during the 1970s (actually done by NATO and local fascists via Operation Gladio),the throwing of babies from Incubators in the first Iraq War, WMD in the Second Iraq War, that Gadaffi was giving his soldiers Viagra to rape civilians, and that the Syrian Douma gas attack was real (when OPCW inspectors were saying it was clearly staged). And that's just what I remember offhand. So I'm not sure why the American government, which maintains its hegemonic power partly by means of deception, is supposed to be credible now.
As I mentioned before, your hatred of Trump is clouding your judgement of Assange. Publishing information to sway an election is not a crime. And just because your preferred candidate didn't win doesn't mean the election wasn't legitimate. But in the quest to get revenge for the "injustice" of Trump, we run the risk of doing very real and permanent damage to the fundamental rights upon which Western society is founded.
We should be working to expand those rights, not weaken them.
