Assange blames the establishment and, in particular, the Obama administration for his current legal problems. He also depends on hackers to get the information that he publishes, so the Russians are one of his best sources.

As for the Russians, there are numerous reasons that they want Trump. Trump promises to weaken the NATO alliance, and won't support standing up to Putin's plans to reconstitute the Soviet Empire. I think he may owe Russian Oligarchs billions of dollars, and Putin looks at him as someone that can be easily manipulated.
