Nonsense.
Discovering and revealing the truth, and the timing of those actions, can absolutely be political.
If one out of 4 PARTY-X Congressmen are cheating on their wives, and one out of 5 PARTY-Y Congressmen are cheating on their wives...
But somehow wikileaks publishes a list of Congressmen cheating on their wives a week before the election, and they're all PARTY-X on the list, and no PARTY-Y, you get to wonder if it was political.
- travmatt 10y agoIt's always been a bullshit and disingenuous argument, especially for the goal of defending Wikileaks. The truth is Assange is paid to hurt the US, and censor information that damages Russia. That's why he does things like publish the personal info of CIA personnel children, censor emails damaging to Russia, and hold regular meetings with arms of Russian propaganda. Assange has tacitly admitted this and didn't even try to deny it.
