Do you believe Assange lied about Daniel Domscheit-Berg being the source for the unredacted cables and his conversation with Cliff Johnson was all for show? Why did he break his own protocol and release so many documents en mass?

Yes, he likely have lied.

He did forward unredacted cables via Shamir to Belarus' Lukashenka back in the day, which led to arrests.

So Assange intentionally leaked all the documents in a quasi-suicidal act? Domscheit-Berg had nothing to do with it?

How exactly it was quasi-suicidal? Did it affect anything for him, except some criticism that was very much drowned out by the cheering crowd?
