Assange is an exceptionally intelligent individual, and could easily be been considered "woke" for years before most others ().

No doubt many people send him iffefutable evidence that debuniks the official story. (videos of WTC building 7, 45 deg cuts of steel, etc).

I find it difficult to believe that Assange would give the US govt the benefit of the doubt about any involvement and cover-up of 9/11.

It's close to inconceivable. IMHO.

The only reasonable excuse could be MK Ultra mind control damage, or whatever is being rumored.
This could only alleviate some of his moral responsibility, but it wouldn't alter the facts...

Edit: I'm not condemning what he's done. I'm only suggesting that it's apparent that there is much more going on then we are aware of.
It's too early to award him with something akin to heroic status.

Some sagely advice.
