It's an longer article, but it includes screenshots of the DMs, including this one after the election:
>Hi Don. Hope you're doing well! In relation to Mr. Assange: Obama/Clinton placed pressure on Sweden, UK and Australia (his home country) to illicitly go after Mr. Assange. It would be real easy and helpful for your dad to suggest that Australia appoint Assange ambassador to DC "That's a really smart touch guy and the most famous australian you have! " or something similar. They won't do it, but it will send the right signals to Australia, UK + Sweden to start following the law and stop bending it to ingratiate themselves with the Clintons.

I would guess this Twitter issue may have been a mistake. Wikileaks and Assange's reputations have taken a bit of a hit since the elections. Previously, liberals loved him and conservatives loathed him. Now the tides seem to have reversed, but I don't think it's a conspiracy.
