I have, and I can't find a single instance where Wikileaks presented edited versions of the emails and made claims about them such that the contents of the email revealed the edited version to be inaccurate and/or lies.
You stated there are plenty of examples. I'm just asking for one. If there are plenty, it should not be difficult to find one, but like I said in my original comment, everyone makes these statements about Wikileaks but no-one provides actual hard examples of it.
As a counter example, in my post I claimed that many people said emails in Wikileaks were falsified, but later evidence showed this was not the case.
It's trivial to find an example of this, such as Donna Brazile stating that the emails showing she provided CNN townhall interview questions to Clinton in advance were doctored [0], but DKIM verification later showed the emails were authentic [1], and Brazile later admitted she did actually leak the questions [2].
That was easy enough to find in Google without any exertion.
So where are the examples of Wikileaks lying and/or misleading people about the contents of specific emails? I'm just asking for one example.

- abritinthebay 10y agoHow about one that goes tweet by lying tweet? One that was literally on the first page of Google. You can't have exerted yourself too hard. https://www.amalanetwork.com/latest/2016/07/23/shills-and-scandals-the-misleading-dncleaks-tweet-by-tweet https://www.amalanetwork.com/latest/2016/07/23/shills-and-sc... Again - they repeatedly mislead. They did it again with the CIA dump. Due to their repeated misleading, obviously slanted, presentation of their dumps, and obvious mishandling of them (like putting 1000s of innocent civilians at risk) Wikileaks has zero credibility.
- who-benefits 10y agoDue to your apparent need to discredit any unpleasant truth about your team, you don't have any credibility either. Next time link a source with a better exclamation-point/sentence-without-logical-fallacy ratio. I feel stupider having read that tripe
- abritinthebay 10y agoAhh ad hominem on both me and the source! Impressive. Thanks for conceding you have nothing.
- Natsu 10y agoThat seems to disagree with certain conclusions reached by Wikileaks after reading various emails. It does not appear to substantiate any claims that actual documents were faked. The Wikileaks tweets all appear to link to their sources, allowing for this kind of lengthy disagreement with those simplified conclusions.
