Trump has been a public figure for far, far too long for there not to be 'EMAILS' equivalents. The fact that a large fraction of the time when wikileaks is discussed there is no visible questioning about why they haven't released about Trump tells me that something fucked up is going on. See this for an excellent summary [0]. 0. https://np.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5c8u9l/we_are_the_wikileaks_staff_despite_our_editor/d9utp64/?context=3&st=ivn9nf8l&sh=49a14cf1 https://np.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5c8u9l/we_are_the_wiki...

That's a pretty embarrassing, angry rant. Do you really doubt that Wikileaks would have released information about Trump if any had been leaked that was significant?

    I read it, I don't see your point. One must believe that WL was actively trying to help Trump to think it would just sit on relevant information. I don't believe that as Assange likened both candidates to various diseases in one of his earlier statements.

Trump has said himself that he does not use email. Wikileaks has released lots of negative information on various Republican candidates, as well (see their Iraq collection involving Bush), and have no bias toward any political entity. That's the entire point of their existence.

That summary is terrible. Apparently, the op of the summary will only be satisfied if an equal and opposite leak happens to the trump campaign. Not everyone falls for obvious phishing attempts. Shouldn't we consider your susceptibility to phishing as evidence of judgement? Shouldn't it be evidence of your qualification as a Leader? Shouldn't it reflect on you if your trusted advisors get owned by bit.ly links for gmail password resets?
