But, we will withhold it until weeks before the elections.
- null4bl3 10y agoNot at all. The email data was received in chunks not many weeks before the election campaign began.
- dogma1138 10y agoAssange has been taunting about those mails for a while, they could've released all of them at once not drop by drop with the last one being on the weekend before the elections. This was played for maximum effect, they had them likely for months, if not longer, this is a score settling not an exercise in democracy.
- synicalx 10y agoTo be fair though, if they released them all two years ago no one would remember it at election time. The great unwashed masses tend to have an attention span and memory that can be measured in seconds.
- billy8988 10y agoSo it is not about transparency but to influence the elections. Thank you.
