If Assange had came out and said "Seth Rich was my source for the leaked DNC emails", Seth's murder investigation would have reopened with a huge motive for his death. Instead, Assange keeps silent in order to try to get himself more favorable terms for showing people how to hack into systems (instead of being just the recipient).
Massive public attention. That's what would happen.
Anyone considering whistleblowing to WikiLeaks would stop instantly because they would no longer be safe.
They wouldn't feel safe because Assange tried to obtain justice for one of his murdered informants? By letting Seth's murder go unavenged, it would make me less likely to be a whistleblower for wikileaks.
